The Schrade Torsion is a bold and capable everyday carry folding knife built to handle serious tasks while maintaining a sleek, tactical edge.

With smooth flipper action, solid construction, and a dependable lockup, the Torsion is designed to work hard and look sharp doing it.
The centerpiece of this knife is a 3.25-inch reverse tanto blade crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a well-balanced steel known for its corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening. Its unique geometry offers a reinforced tip and strong cutting edge, making it ideal for piercing and slicing alike. Whether you're cutting rope, breaking down boxes, or handling daily utility work, this blade delivers precision and strength with every cut. The black titanium nitride coating not only adds stealthy style but also boosts resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in tough conditions.
Opening the Torsion is quick and intuitive thanks to the integrated flipper tab. A smooth manual action gives you reliable blade deployment with just a flick, making this knife as responsive as it is practical. Once open, a sturdy linerlock holds the blade securely in place, so you can use it with confidence no matter the task at hand.
The handle is built with black G-10 scales, providing a secure grip with just the right amount of texture. G-10 is a lightweight yet incredibly strong material that stands up to the rigors of daily use, offering control and comfort in all conditions. The ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand, giving you the kind of confidence and control you need in a dependable work knife.
At 4.25 inches closed and 7.5 inches overall, the Torsion has a solid in-hand presence without feeling bulky. With a blade thickness of .13 inches and a total weight of 4.2 ounces, it strikes a well-balanced profile that carries comfortably while still offering plenty of substance. Whether clipped to your pocket or packed in your gear, this knife is ready when you are.
A tip-down pocket clip provides secure and convenient carry for right-handed users, while the overall design ensures it’s always within reach when you need it.
