Tenable Gideon Folding Knife Stonewash Nitro V/Black Micarta T1119A1

The Gideon from Dead Sober Design is a hard-hitting folding knife built with power, control, and character in every line. Inspired by a beloved canine companion named for a mythical dragon, this blade channels that same legendary spirit. The backspacer jimping evokes the ridged scales of a dragon’s hide, while the curved handle sweeps like a tail in motion. Up front, the 3.5-inch stonewashed Nitro-V clip point blade is shaped like a striking dragon’s head—primed for precision cuts and tough work.

Nitro-V steel delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and razor-sharp slicing performance. The blade deploys smoothly via a thumb hole and locks up solid with a liner lock mechanism, giving you reliable, one-handed operation for any task.

The handle is built from rugged black Micarta, providing a natural, comfortable grip with just the right amount of texture. Its contoured, ergonomic design reduces fatigue and enhances control during extended use. Aggressively textured jimping on the backspacer gives added thumb traction for secure handling, while a deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly stowed and ready at a moment’s notice.

Dead Sober Design pours hard-earned passion into every piece. What began as a creative outlet during recovery has grown into a signature blend of form, function, and bold style—all on display with the Gideon.

You’ll find this striking blade and thousands more at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s largest knife store and a Tennessee landmark. Set in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, SMKW draws over 1.5 million visitors a year with its unmatched selection and legendary showroom.
