Built with premium materials and precision American craftsmanship, the Dead Reckon Integral Vertebrae Folding Knife delivers exceptional performance in a sleek, modern package. Designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in Grove City, Ohio, this high-end folder combines innovative construction, smooth operation, and rugged durability for an everyday carry that's built to stand apart.
At the center of the Integral Vertebrae is a 3.42" CPM S45VN stainless steel reverse tanto blade with a rugged stonewash finish. Known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, CPM S45VN is a premium steel that excels in demanding cutting tasks. The reverse tanto blade profile offers enhanced tip strength while maintaining excellent slicing capability, making it a versatile performer for work, utility, and everyday carry applications. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged character and helps conceal the marks of regular use.
The blade deploys quickly and effortlessly using a flipper tab riding on sealed stainless steel roller ball bearings. The action is exceptionally smooth and reliable, delivering a refined feel with every opening. Once deployed, a sturdy button lock secures the blade firmly in place while allowing for easy one-handed operation and closing.
The handle is machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, creating an integral construction that provides outstanding strength and rigidity without unnecessary weight. Finished in Matte Sand, the handle delivers a clean, tactical appearance with a distinctive earth-tone look. Adding a vibrant touch of color is the turquoise anchor embellishment on the front side, creating an eye-catching contrast that sets this version apart. The pocket clip and hardware are crafted from premium 17-4 PH and 416 stainless steel and finished with a durable salt-bath nitride black coating for enhanced wear resistance and a sleek finishing touch.
Measuring 4.83" closed and weighing only 3.8 ounces, the Integral Vertebrae offers an ideal balance of carry comfort and cutting capability. Whether it's carried daily, put to work in the field, or displayed as part of a premium collection, it's built to perform for years to come.
