The Petrified Fish Frigate Stonewash CPM S35VN Reverse Tanto Bronze Aluminum is a refined yet hard-use folding knife built for users who want premium materials, modern styling, and dependable everyday performance in one streamlined package. Designed with a focus on strength, smooth operation, and cutting efficiency, this knife brings together high-end steel and a bold, tactical-inspired aesthetic.
At the core of the Frigate is a 3.9" reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel. Known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, S35VN is a premium steel choice that performs reliably under demanding conditions. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, work-ready look while also helping to conceal scratches and wear from daily use, keeping the blade looking consistent over time.
The reverse tanto profile delivers a strong, reinforced tip combined with a flat, controlled edge geometry. This makes it highly effective for both precision piercing tasks and steady slicing work, giving the blade versatility across a wide range of EDC and utility applications. Whether you're opening packages, cutting cordage, or handling field tasks, the blade design is built to perform without compromise.
Deployment is handled through a thumb hole, allowing for smooth, intuitive one-handed opening. The opening action feels controlled and consistent, giving users reliable access to the blade in any situation. Once deployed, the crossbar lock secures the blade firmly in place, offering strong lockup and ambidextrous usability with excellent resistance to wear over time.
The handle is constructed from bronze aluminum with an anodized finish, giving the knife a distinctive, modern appearance while keeping weight to a minimum. The aluminum construction provides durability without unnecessary bulk, and the anodized surface enhances resistance to wear while adding a rich metallic tone. Ergonomic shaping ensures a secure and comfortable grip, supporting extended use without fatigue.
At 5.4" closed and 9.3" overall, the Frigate offers a full-sized feel in a foldable platform, striking a balance between carry convenience and functional reach. Weighing 4.38 ounces, it remains light enough for everyday pocket carry while still feeling substantial in hand when deployed. A tip-up pocket clip allows for secure and accessible carry, keeping the knife ready when needed.
The Petrified Fish Frigate is a strong blend of premium steel, modern design, and reliable mechanics, built for users who want a capable and stylish everyday carry knife that doesn’t cut corners.
