SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Schrade Beta Class Reckon is a fast, functional, and fiercely reliable everyday carry folding knife that’s built to deliver in real-world conditions. With its sleek lines, durable materials, and quick deployment, the Reckon is made for those who want a knife that keeps up—whether it’s opening boxes on the job, cutting rope at the campsite, or riding along in your pocket as a daily companion. It’s bold enough to stand out, but streamlined enough to disappear when you need it to.
At the heart of the Reckon is a 3-inch drop point blade made from rugged D2 tool steel. Known for its toughness, excellent edge retention, and ability to handle tough materials, D2 is a favorite among users who want dependable cutting performance with minimal maintenance. The black stonewash finish not only gives the blade a stealthy, wear-hiding look—it also enhances corrosion resistance and adds to the knife’s overall tactical edge.
Thanks to its spring-assisted opening and flipper tab, the Reckon opens fast and smooth with a satisfying snap. Whether you’re working one-handed or just need to deploy the blade in a hurry, the assisted action ensures you won’t be fumbling when time matters. Once open, a solid linerlock secures the blade with confidence, giving you the strength you need to take on tougher tasks without worry.
The handle is built from lightweight yet tough black aluminum, contoured for comfort and designed for all-day carry. It offers a great balance of durability and ergonomics, with just enough texture to ensure a solid grip without being abrasive in the pocket. The neutral handle shape works well in multiple grip positions, making the Reckon versatile for a wide range of tasks and cutting angles.
At 4.5 inches closed and weighing 4 ounces, this knife hits a sweet spot for everyday carry—compact enough to carry easily, yet substantial enough to feel dependable in the hand. With an overall length of 7.5 inches when open, the Reckon provides the reach and control you need without the bulk of larger folders. The blade’s .1-inch thickness adds slicing efficiency while keeping the profile slim and practical.
A tip-up pocket clip rounds out the package, offering secure, right-hand carry and quick access when you need it. The low-profile clip tucks the knife neatly into your pocket, staying out of the way until it’s time to put it to work.
