SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ocaso Knives Solstice Demko Linerlock Folding Knife is a refined everyday carry designed by master knifemaker Andrew Demko, bringing together premium materials, precision construction, and clean, functional design. Built to deliver smooth, effortless operation and dependable performance, this knife strikes the perfect balance between elegance and utility.
Its 3.5" S35VN stainless steel straight back blade offers a superb combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. S35VN is a top-tier steel favored by enthusiasts and professionals alike for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge under sustained use while remaining relatively easy to maintain. The satin finish enhances the steel’s sleek appearance and provides a smooth surface for slicing, making it an ideal choice for both daily cutting tasks and more demanding applications. The straight back profile offers a long, consistent cutting edge with excellent control for precision work.
Deployment is fast and fluid thanks to the integrated blade flipper and smooth stainless steel caged bearing pivot system. Each opening is crisp and reliable, with the linerlock mechanism providing secure blade engagement for confident handling. The lockup is solid, ensuring stability during use without compromising the knife’s lightweight feel.
The handle scales are crafted from black carbon fiber, delivering a combination of strength, rigidity, and a feather-light carry weight. At just 1.7oz, the Solstice feels almost weightless in the pocket yet remains durable enough for rigorous daily use. The handle’s sleek, contoured shape fits naturally in the hand, providing a comfortable and secure grip for extended periods. An ambidextrous stainless steel deep carry pocket clip allows discreet, tip-up carry on either side, making it equally suited for left- or right-handed users.
At 4.31" closed, the Solstice maintains a slim, streamlined profile that slips easily into a pocket without bulk. Every aspect of its design reflects Demko’s focus on smooth operation, minimalist styling, and practical functionality. Whether you’re looking for a gentleman’s carry that can still handle hard work or a high-performance folder for everyday use, the Ocaso Solstice offers the precision and quality expected from a knife designed by one of the industry’s best.
