SHOP CASE KNIVESThe SRM Palfrey Minimalist Framelock Folding Knife is built for users who want clean design, dependable strength, and premium materials in a streamlined everyday carry. It pairs modern steel with a rugged handle platform, creating a folder that’s ready for real work while maintaining a refined, low-profile presence in the pocket.
Its 3.27-inch drop point blade is crafted from 14C28BN stainless steel, a nitrogen-enhanced alloy known for improved corrosion resistance, toughness, and consistent edge retention. The black oxide coated finish adds a bold, non-reflective appearance while enhancing durability and wear resistance. The drop point profile delivers versatile cutting capability with strong tip control and smooth slicing performance, making it well suited for daily tasks, utility use, and general carry demands.
Deployment is quick and intuitive thanks to the “invisible” blade flipper, designed to maintain a sleek silhouette while still offering easy one-handed operation. The blade rides on a ceramic ball bearing pivot, ensuring smooth, controlled action with minimal friction. Once open, the framelock mechanism provides secure, reliable lockup, giving you confidence during demanding use.
The textured black G-10 handles reinforce the knife’s tough, purpose-driven character. G-10 is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, making it an excellent material for everyday carry. The aggressive texturing enhances grip security without adding unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for discreet, convenient carry, ready whenever you need it.
At 4.37 inches closed and weighing just 2.75 ounces, the Palfrey strikes an ideal balance between substance and portability. It carries comfortably while still offering a solid, confident feel in hand.
