SRM Scout Crossbar Lock Folding Knife Black DLC/Gray Anodized Aluminum SRM-7229-AK

The SRM Scout Crossbar Lock Folding Knife delivers compact, dependable everyday carry performance with a clean modern design built for control, safety, and versatility. Lightweight and easy to carry, it’s engineered for users who want a practical cutting tool that’s ready for daily tasks, outdoor use, and unexpected situations without adding bulk to the pocket.

The blade measures 2.72 inches and is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, finished in a rugged black DLC coating for enhanced wear resistance and reduced glare. Known for its strong balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this steel is well suited for both everyday cutting chores and outdoor utility work. The drop point profile provides a strong, controlled tip along with a versatile cutting edge, making it useful across a wide range of tasks from slicing to precision work.

Deployment is smooth and efficient thanks to the “invisible” flipper design, which keeps the knife’s profile streamlined while still allowing fast one-handed opening. Once deployed, the blade locks securely into place with a durable crossbar lock system that offers strong ambidextrous operation and reliable lockup. It’s built to handle repeated use while remaining easy to operate and disengage when needed.

The handle is made from gray anodized aluminum, offering a lightweight yet strong platform with excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. The anodized finish gives it a refined, modern look while maintaining durability for daily use. Its ergonomic shape enhances grip and control, keeping the knife comfortable and secure in hand. A dual-system stainless steel pocket clip provides flexible carry options, allowing users to configure it for either right- or left-handed carry depending on preference.

At just 3.93 inches closed and weighing 2.5 ounces, the Scout disappears comfortably into the pocket while remaining quick to access when needed. It’s built for everyday reliability in a compact, carry-friendly form.
