The Poikilo Blade x Christensen Knifeworks Casque Folder Standard PSW Black 3P is a refined collaboration piece that blends modern materials, precision machining, and understated tactical styling into a premium everyday carry folder. Built for users who demand reliability without unnecessary flash, this knife delivers top-tier performance in a clean, purpose-driven design. Every element reflects the shared commitment of Poikilo Blade and Christensen Knifeworks to functional craftsmanship and long-term durability.
At its core is a 3.30" tanto blade crafted from premium M398 stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its exceptional edge retention, superior wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance. This is a blade designed to stay sharp through heavy use, making it ideal for demanding everyday tasks as well as precision cutting. The tanto profile strengthens the tip for enhanced piercing capability and durability under pressure, while the flat V-grind ensures efficient slicing performance across a wide range of materials. Finished in Pearlescent Stonewash (PSW), the blade offers a subtle, shifting visual texture that reduces glare and helps conceal wear, keeping the knife looking clean even after extended use.
Deployment is fast and versatile thanks to dual opening options. The thumb stud provides controlled, traditional deployment, while the frontal opening system allows for quick, fluid action when speed matters. Once opened, the inset lock engages securely using a hardened steel insert, providing strong, reliable lockup while minimizing long-term wear on the titanium interface. This locking system combines the sleek profile of a frame lock with enhanced durability, ensuring consistent performance over years of use.
The handle is precision-machined from titanium, offering an ideal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight. Measuring 4.46" long and 0.52" wide, it delivers a slim, ergonomic profile that feels secure in hand without adding unnecessary bulk to pocket carry. The silver titanium construction is complemented by a three-piece black inlay, adding subtle depth and layered visual detail while maintaining a monochromatic, tactical-inspired aesthetic. At 4.80 ounces, the Casque carries with a reassuring solidity while remaining comfortable for all-day use.
Configured for right-hand, tip-up carry, the Casque is always positioned for fast, reliable access. Its 7.77" overall length provides an ideal balance between compact portability and capable cutting performance, making it equally suited for everyday utility, outdoor tasks, or display in a premium collection. As part of the Poikilo Blade x Christensen Knifeworks Collaboration Series, it represents a shared dedication to precision engineering, high-end materials, and refined functional design.
