The Petrified Fish Frigate Stonewash CPM S35VN Tanto Black Aluminum is a modern folding knife built for users who demand premium materials, strong locking performance, and a clean tactical design that’s ready for serious everyday carry. Combining high-end blade steel with durable lightweight construction, the Frigate delivers a balanced mix of cutting performance, reliability, and unmistakable style.
At the center of the design is a 3.9" reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium steel respected for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Designed to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a fine working edge, S35VN offers the kind of long-term performance expected from a top-tier everyday carry knife. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, work-ready appearance while helping conceal wear from repeated use.
The reverse tanto blade profile brings both versatility and strength to the table. Its reinforced tip offers excellent piercing capability and durability for precision work, while the straight cutting edge delivers clean slicing performance across a wide range of daily tasks. It’s a blade shape designed for control and confidence in real-world use.
Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to the oversized thumb hole opener. The design allows for smooth one-handed opening while maintaining a streamlined profile that avoids unnecessary bulk. Once open, the blade locks firmly into place with a dependable crossbar lock system that delivers secure lockup and smooth ambidextrous operation. Known for its strength and ease of use, the crossbar lock adds confidence while keeping operation simple and efficient.
The black aluminum handle features an anodized finish that enhances durability while giving the knife a sleek, tactical appearance. Aluminum construction keeps overall weight manageable without sacrificing structural strength, making it ideal for users who want a full-sized folder that carries comfortably. The handle’s ergonomic shaping provides a secure grip, while its clean lines and refined finish create a modern, purposeful aesthetic.
A tip-up pocket clip ensures convenient carry and quick access, positioning the knife securely and discreetly for everyday use. At 5.4" closed and 9.3" overall, the Frigate offers substantial cutting reach and presence, yet its 4.38-ounce weight keeps it balanced enough for comfortable daily carry.
Built for users who appreciate premium steel, modern mechanics, and hard-use functionality, the Petrified Fish Frigate is a knife that delivers performance without compromise. It’s a capable, rugged folder designed to excel wherever dependable cutting power is needed.
