SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Schrade Lateral Tan & Black is a bold, hardworking knife built for those who need a reliable cutting tool with serious edge. Designed for everyday carry, this manual folder combines a rugged cleaver-style blade, smooth Ultra-Glide deployment, and a durable G-10 handle, making it an outstanding choice for anyone who values both function and style.
At the heart of the Lateral is its 3.25-inch AUS-8 stainless steel blade, shaped into a striking cleaver profile. This design offers a broad cutting surface, making it perfect for slicing, chopping, and precision work. The satin finish adds a sleek touch while helping to resist corrosion and wear. Whether you're tackling daily cutting tasks, working in the shop, or just appreciating a well-built blade, the Lateral is ready to perform.
Opening this knife is effortless, thanks to Schrade’s Ultra-Glide bearing technology. With just a flick of the blade flipper, the blade swings open smoothly and quickly, giving you fast access to a sharp edge whenever you need it. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, ensuring reliable stability and safety during use.
The handle is where the Lateral really stands out. Made from a combination of tan and black G-10, it offers a striking contrast that’s as stylish as it is functional. G-10 is known for its toughness and textured grip, giving you confidence in hand, even in wet or slippery conditions. At 4.25 inches closed, it’s compact enough to slip into your pocket without bulk but large enough for a comfortable and secure grip when in use.
Schrade designed the Lateral with convenience in mind. The tip-up pocket clip ensures discreet, easy carry, while the built-in lanyard hole offers another way to keep it close at hand. Weighing in with a .12-inch blade thickness and an overall length of 7.5 inches, this knife hits the perfect balance between durability and portability.
A cleaver-style blade in an everyday carry folder isn’t just eye-catching—it’s practical. The wide cutting edge allows for controlled, powerful cuts, while the Ultra-Glide action makes it a pleasure to use. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a tradesman, or just someone who appreciates a tough, well-built knife, the Schrade Lateral Tan & Black is a standout choice.
