At the heart of the Shinra Tsuchi is a 2.75-inch VG-10 Damascus steel drop point blade. The VG-10 core provides exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpness, while the Damascus layering enhances both strength and visual appeal. This blade is designed for smooth, precise cuts and reliable performance, making it an ideal companion for everyday carry or collection. Designed for smooth manual operation, the knife features dual thumb studs and an anodized pivot pin, ensuring seamless one-handed deployment. The blade rides on Teflon washers for fluid action, reinforcing the knife’s reliability in real-world use. A reliable linerlock mechanism secures the blade, providing confidence during use.
The handle, constructed entirely from solid Damascus steel, exhibits a sophisticated wave pattern that enhances grip and aesthetics. Stainless steel liners reinforce the structure, providing stability while maintaining a lightweight feel. A lanyard hole offers additional carry options, making it a versatile choice for everyday use or display. When closed, the knife measures 3.75 inches and weighs a mere 3.4 ounces, making it an ideal companion for those who appreciate a balance of form and function.
