The Elite Tactical The Backdraft Crossbar Lock Folding Knife Blackout is built for users who want a tough, dependable folder with a rugged, tactical look. The 3.5-inch drop point blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and finished in black coating to cut glare and resist wear. The drop point profile is a versatile choice that handles everyday cutting tasks with ease, and the blade’s sturdy tip gives you confidence when you need precision or strength.
This knife is designed for quick deployment and secure locking. It opens smoothly with a thumb stud or blade flipper, letting you get the blade into action fast. The crossbar lock is a reliable system that keeps the blade firmly in place while you’re using it, and it’s simple to operate when you need to close the knife. The stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife close at hand and makes carry convenient and secure.
The handle is made from grooved black rubberized synthetic, offering a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions. The textured surface adds traction and comfort, and the lanyard hole gives you the option to attach a cord for extra retention or quick access. At 4.5 inches closed, this knife is compact enough for daily carry while still feeling solid in hand, and the overall design is built to withstand real use.
