Built for those who appreciate precision engineering and American-made quality, the Dead Reckon Integral Vertebrae Folding Knife delivers premium materials, smooth operation, and standout styling in a highly capable everyday carry package. Designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in Grove City, Ohio, this knife reflects Dead Reckon's commitment to craftsmanship and performance.
The Integral Vertebrae features a 3.42" CPM S45VN stainless steel reverse tanto blade with a rugged stonewash finish. Known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, CPM S45VN is a premium blade steel that's ready for demanding cutting tasks. The reverse tanto profile offers a strong tip and ample cutting edge, making it equally suited for utility work and precision cuts. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged appearance while helping hide the signs of hard use.
Deployment is fast and exceptionally smooth thanks to the blade flipper and sealed stainless steel roller ball bearing system. The action is crisp and reliable, making the knife a pleasure to operate. Once open, a sturdy button lock provides secure lockup and simple one-handed closing for maximum convenience.
The handle is machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, creating an integral frame that delivers impressive strength while keeping weight low. Finished in anodized Navy Blue, the handle offers a bold, refined look that's enhanced by the striking red anchor embellishment on the front side. Premium hardware rounds out the build, including a pocket clip and screws crafted from high-performance 17-4 PH and 416 stainless steel. A salt-bath nitride black coating provides additional durability while creating a sharp visual contrast against the blue handle.
Measuring 4.83" closed and weighing only 3.8 ounces, the Integral Vertebrae carries comfortably while offering the performance and durability expected from a top-tier American folder.
