At the heart of this powerhouse is a 3.5-inch clip point blade made from CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium material known for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The clip point profile provides exceptional control, making it perfect for precision tasks while still offering enough strength for heavy-duty cutting.

The handle construction is where this knife truly shines. The front side features Battle Blue G-10, offering a striking look while providing a secure grip. On the rear, black G-10 adds a tactical edge, ensuring the knife feels as good as it looks. G-10 is a top-tier material known for its durability, resistance to moisture, and ability to provide a rock-solid grip in any condition. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in hand, making extended use a breeze. A sturdy framelock ensures rock-solid lockup, preventing accidental closure and giving you complete confidence in the blade’s stability.

Deployment is quick and intuitive with the thumb stud, allowing for smooth, one-handed opening. The knife’s manual folder design gives you full control, ensuring a reliable action every time you reach for it. Weighing in at 5.1 ounces, it’s solid enough to feel substantial without being cumbersome, making it a practical choice for those who carry a knife daily. The tip-down pocket clip ensures secure and discreet carry, keeping the Eklipse within easy reach whenever it’s needed.
