The SRM 221X Button Lock Folding Knife delivers a strong mix of tactical capability and everyday practicality, built for users who want dependable performance in a streamlined, carry-friendly design. With its bold bowie blade profile, durable construction, and intuitive controls, the 221X is designed to handle everything from routine cutting tasks to demanding outdoor use.
The knife features a 3.63-inch Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel bowie blade with a brushed satin finish. This premium steel is widely respected for its excellent toughness, impressive corrosion resistance, and strong edge retention, making it well suited for both daily tasks and more challenging environments. The bowie profile offers a powerful tip for piercing and controlled detail work while maintaining a generous cutting edge for slicing and utility tasks.
Deployment is fast and natural thanks to the integrated blade flipper, allowing the blade to swing open smoothly with one hand. Once deployed, a sturdy push button lock secures the blade firmly in place. The button lock design provides reliable lockup while allowing easy, ambidextrous operation, making the knife comfortable and intuitive for a wide range of users.
The handle scales are crafted from black G-10 with a carbon fiber-like texture that provides a confident grip even in wet or demanding conditions. G-10’s reputation for strength and durability makes it a natural choice for a knife designed to perform in the field. A deep carry stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip keeps the knife discreet and accessible, while SRM’s ambidextrous clip system allows users to change clip orientation without tools for added convenience during outdoor activities.
Measuring 4.88 inches closed and weighing just 3.67 ounces, the 221X balances a substantial blade with lightweight carry comfort. It’s equally suited for everyday pocket carry, camp use, trail work, or emergency preparedness.
