The Poikilo Blade Tuna Midtech Folding Knife is a premium everyday carry folder that combines precision machining, top-tier materials, and refined craftsmanship into a knife that's built to excel in both performance and appearance. Designed for users who appreciate exceptional cutting ability and clean, purposeful design, this midtech folder delivers the durability and reliability needed for daily use while showcasing the attention to detail expected from a high-end knife.
The centerpiece of the Tuna Midtech is its 3.40" drop point blade crafted from premium Bohler M398 stainless steel. Renowned for its incredible edge retention, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, M398 is a high-performance steel that thrives under demanding conditions. The versatile drop point profile offers exceptional control for detailed cutting while maintaining the strength required for heavier utility work. Paired with a flat V-grind, the blade delivers outstanding slicing performance with clean, efficient cuts across a wide range of everyday tasks. Completing the blade is an elegant hand-rubbed finish that highlights the precision of the grind while providing a refined satin appearance that stands apart from more common finishes.
Deployment is smooth and deliberate thanks to the oversized thumb stud, allowing for fast, controlled one-handed opening whenever the job calls for it. Once the blade is fully deployed, an inset lock secures it with dependable lockup and the confidence needed for demanding cutting applications. The lock design promotes consistent performance while maintaining the clean profile of the handle.
The handle is precision-machined from solid titanium, offering an ideal combination of lightweight strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Measuring 4.49" long with a comfortable 0.58" width, it fills the hand securely while maintaining a streamlined profile that carries comfortably throughout the day. Titanium's premium feel and exceptional toughness make it an outstanding material for a hardworking everyday carry knife, and its clean finish complements the hand-rubbed blade for a sophisticated yet rugged appearance.
Adding to its premium presentation is a striking ZircuTi pocket clip, which delivers eye-catching color variation and exceptional durability while providing secure right-hand, tip-up carry. Crafted from zirconium-titanium Damascus, the clip enhances both the knife's visual appeal and its exclusivity, giving the Tuna Midtech a distinctive finishing touch that collectors and everyday users alike will appreciate.
With an overall length of 7.89" and a weight of 4.95 ounces, the Tuna Midtech strikes an excellent balance between portability and capability. The Poikilo Blade Tuna Midtech Folding Knife is a refined expression of modern EDC design, blending premium Bohler M398 steel, a precision-machined titanium handle, a stunning ZircuTi pocket clip, and meticulous craftsmanship into a dependable folder that's built to deliver lasting performance for years of everyday use.
