Schrade SLYTE Folding Knife 3 Inch Plain Satin Modified Wharncliffe 1136251

The Schrade SLYTE is a folding knife that balances refined engineering with everyday grit, designed to perform when it matters and look good doing it. Made proudly in the USA, this knife isn’t just built—it’s crafted with precision and purpose, ready to handle the demands of daily carry while standing out with sleek, modern styling.

At the core of the SLYTE is a 3-inch modified Wharncliffe blade made from D2 tool steel, a material celebrated for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and overall toughness. The satin finish adds a clean, professional touch to the blade, highlighting its sleek profile while protecting it against wear. The Wharncliffe shape provides a strong, straight edge that excels in slicing tasks, and the fine tip delivers excellent control for detailed cuts.

This is a knife that doesn’t mess around when it comes to action. Featuring Schrade’s Ultra Glide Technology, the blade deploys smoothly and quickly with the press of the integrated flipper tab. It’s a confident, one-handed open every time—crisp, fluid, and ready for whatever comes next. Once deployed, the solid framelock ensures that the blade stays put with rock-steady reliability. It’s simple, strong, and trusted by knife users who demand security in their tools.

The SLYTE’s handle is forged from durable black stainless steel, giving it a rugged yet sophisticated appearance. It’s built to last and feels substantial in hand, weighing in at 5.12 ounces for that satisfying, sturdy feel without being bulky. The ergonomics are spot-on, offering a comfortable grip that lets you work longer without fatigue. The framelock design blends seamlessly into the handle, keeping the overall silhouette clean and balanced.

At 4.5 inches closed and 7.5 inches overall, the SLYTE is sized just right for daily carry—compact enough to disappear into your pocket, but large enough to tackle real-world cutting needs. The tip-up pocket clip ensures the knife rides deep and secure, while staying accessible when you need it. Whether you’re opening boxes, cutting cord, or handling everyday utility tasks, the SLYTE brings a professional-level tool to your pocket.

This American-made manual folder embodies the durability and design that Schrade has built its name on. It’s a modern, no-nonsense cutting tool for those who appreciate quality materials, solid construction, and smooth mechanics. It’s also a perfect choice for collectors looking to add a standout American-made piece to their rotation.
