Built for serious everyday carry with a sleek, streamlined profile, the Defiant 7 Clutch brings hard-use performance and modern American craftsmanship together in a remarkably lightweight automatic folder. Designed by Matt Martin of Vehement Knives and made in the USA, the Clutch delivers the kind of clean, purposeful design that looks right at home in an EDC rotation.
The 3.31-inch Bowie blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless steel and heat treated to 62–63 HRC, giving it an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A button-lock automatic action puts the blade into service quickly and easily, while the compact 4.44-inch closed length keeps the Clutch comfortable to carry.
Its 3D-contoured 6061 aluminum handles feature a knurled texture that adds visual character while providing a secure, confident grip. This version comes in a bold red hardcoat anodized finish, giving the Clutch a distinctive look while maintaining its professional, hard-use character. At just 3.5 ounces, it carries exceptionally light without sacrificing capability.
A titanium pocket clip provides secure tip-up carry, keeping the knife positioned for quick access while maintaining its streamlined profile. With an overall length of 7.88 inches, the Clutch strikes an impressive balance between usable blade length, compact carry, and rugged construction.
