SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt with precision and purpose, the Midgards Messer Zaria is a folding knife that bridges bold design with everyday reliability. Manufactured in Germany with a clear nod to Nordic resilience, the Zaria is made for those who expect strength, style, and legality in one package. Whether you're in the workshop, the field, or navigating the day-to-day, this is a knife built to perform.
At the heart of the Zaria lies a 3.54-inch Wharncliffe blade forged from 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and reliable edge retention. The full 6 mm blade thickness and refined double grind give the knife a powerful, tactical look while enhancing its cutting capabilities. From precise slicing to heavier utility tasks, the blade shape offers the durability and control demanded by serious users.
The handle is crafted from solid titanium, giving the knife a tough yet lightweight frame that resists the elements and wears gracefully over time. Its ergonomic profile provides excellent grip and control, whether barehanded or gloved. The clean lines and metallic sheen underscore the knife’s no-nonsense construction and rugged beauty.
The Zaria opens with a deliberate two-hand mechanism via a sturdy, screwed-in thumb bolt—ensuring both safety and legal carry in many regions. Smooth operation is guaranteed thanks to precision bearings housed within the pivot, delivering effortless deployment without sacrificing structural integrity. Once open, the blade locks securely in place with a dependable frame lock system.
Designed for everyday carry but built like a tank, the Zaria is equally at home in an urban setting or out in the wild. It’s a folding knife that doesn’t compromise—on strength, style, or substance.
The Zaria includes a deep-carry pocket clip configured for tip-up carry, offering secure and discreet portability. Get this unique folding knife from Midgards Messer at SMKW!
