SHOP CASE KNIVESThe SRM Palfrey Minimalist Framelock Folding Knife with a bead blasted blade and Ivory G-10 handles delivers a clean, refined look backed by serious everyday performance. It keeps the streamlined framelock platform while adding a lighter, more classic aesthetic that stands out without being loud.
The 3.27-inch drop point blade is crafted from 14C28BN stainless steel, a nitrogen-enhanced alloy valued for its corrosion resistance, toughness, and consistent edge retention. The bead blasted finish gives the blade a smooth, matte appearance that reduces glare and enhances its understated style. It also provides a uniform surface texture that complements the knife’s modern design. The drop point shape offers versatile cutting capability with dependable tip strength and controlled slicing performance, making it well suited for daily carry tasks and general utility work.
Deployment remains quick and efficient thanks to the “invisible” blade flipper, which preserves the knife’s slim profile while still allowing easy one-handed opening. The blade runs on a ceramic ball bearing pivot, delivering smooth, consistent action with minimal resistance. Once open, the framelock mechanism engages securely, providing reliable lockup for confident use.
The Ivory G-10 handles add a distinctive touch, combining durability with a clean, elegant tone. G-10 is lightweight, moisture-resistant, and built for long-term carry, while its textured surface ensures a secure grip. The light ivory color creates a striking contrast against the matte blade and stainless hardware, giving the knife a balanced, sophisticated appearance. A stainless steel pocket clip allows for secure, convenient carry in everyday situations.
At 4.37 inches closed and weighing 2.75 ounces, the Palfrey maintains a strong presence while remaining comfortable in pocket. It offers dependable strength in a streamlined format that’s ready for daily use.
