The Petrified Fish Frigate Black Stonewash Tanto Bronze Aluminum is a full-size folding knife built for serious performance, combining premium materials with bold modern styling and precision engineering. Designed for users who demand strength, smooth action, and dependable everyday capability, this knife brings together rugged utility and refined craftsmanship in a package that stands out both visually and functionally.
At the core of the Frigate is a 3.9" reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, one of the most respected premium blade steels available. Known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, CPM S35VN is built to handle hard use while maintaining excellent cutting performance over time. The reverse tanto profile provides reinforced tip strength for piercing and detail work while maintaining a long straight cutting edge that excels at slicing and controlled utility cuts.
The black stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, work-ready appearance while helping conceal wear from regular use. It adds durability to the blade’s surface and complements the knife’s aggressive, modern profile with understated tactical appeal.
Deployment is handled through a thumb hole opening that delivers smooth, deliberate blade access. The design allows for fast, controlled one-handed operation while maintaining a clean blade profile. Once deployed, the crossbar lock secures the blade firmly in place, offering reliable lockup and ambidextrous operation. This locking system is widely respected for its strength, ease of use, and smooth action, making it ideal for daily carry applications.
The bronze anodized aluminum handle gives the Frigate a distinctive look while delivering lightweight strength and long-term durability. Aluminum construction keeps the overall weight manageable without sacrificing structural integrity, while the anodized finish enhances resistance to wear and corrosion. The ergonomic shaping provides a secure, natural grip, allowing for confident control during extended cutting tasks.
A tip-up pocket clip ensures convenient carry and fast access, positioning the knife securely and discreetly for everyday use. At 5.4" closed and 9.3" overall, the Frigate offers substantial reach and cutting capability, making it an excellent choice for users who prefer a larger folding knife. Despite its size, it remains highly manageable at just 4.38 ounces, striking an impressive balance between presence and portability.
The Petrified Fish Frigate is built for those who appreciate premium steel, dependable mechanics, and standout design. It’s a knife that delivers serious cutting performance while maintaining the sleek, modern aesthetics expected from a high-end everyday carry.
