The Poikilo Blade Tuna Standard DLC Folding Knife is a premium everyday carry folder built for those who value uncompromising performance, modern design, and exceptional craftsmanship. Combining elite materials with precision engineering, this knife is ready to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining the refined fit and finish expected from a high-end EDC. Whether it's carried for work, outdoor adventures, or everyday utility, the Tuna Standard delivers dependable performance with sleek, understated style.
At its core is a 3.40" drop point blade crafted from premium Bohler M398 stainless steel, a high-performance steel renowned for its outstanding edge retention, superior wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance. Designed to stay sharper through extended use, M398 is an ideal choice for users who expect maximum cutting performance with minimal maintenance. The flat V-grind enhances slicing efficiency while preserving the blade's strength, making it equally capable of precision cuts and heavier utility work. Finished in a rugged Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the blade gains additional resistance to wear and corrosion while showcasing a clean, non-reflective black finish that looks as tough as it performs.
Deployment is quick and controlled using the precision-machined thumb stud, allowing for smooth one-handed opening whenever the need arises. Once deployed, the blade is secured by a dependable inset lock that provides solid lockup and consistent performance during hard use. The simple, reliable mechanism complements the knife's streamlined design while inspiring confidence during demanding cutting tasks.
The handle is precision-machined from black titanium, delivering an outstanding combination of lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and premium durability. Measuring 4.49" long and 0.58" wide, it offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip that feels secure in hand without adding unnecessary bulk. The black titanium finish pairs seamlessly with the DLC-coated blade, creating a cohesive all-black appearance that is both refined and purpose-built.
With an overall length of 7.89" and a weight of 5.22 ounces, the Tuna Standard strikes an ideal balance between substantial cutting capability and comfortable everyday carry. The right-hand, tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife securely positioned and readily accessible, ensuring it's always within easy reach whether you're on the job, in the shop, or exploring the outdoors.
Every detail of the Poikilo Blade Tuna Standard DLC Folding Knife reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and premium materials. From its elite Bohler M398 blade steel and durable DLC finish to its precision-machined black titanium handle and dependable inset lock, this folder is built to provide years of reliable service while offering the clean, modern styling today's EDC enthusiasts appreciate.
