SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Tenable Knives Gideon Jade is a standout everyday carry folding knife that blends clean lines, practical features, and reliable materials into one sleek package. Designed with real-world functionality in mind, this manual folder offers a balanced feel, modern style, and dependable performance—all while looking sharp enough to catch attention the moment it hits the pocket.
At the core of the Gideon is a 3.5-inch clip point blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel. Known for its impressive corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness, Nitro-V is a trusted steel choice for demanding users. The blade is finished in a stonewash that gives it a rugged, broken-in appearance while also hiding signs of wear. Whether you're slicing, scoring, or fine-detail cutting, this blade shape offers excellent control and versatility with a strong tip and generous belly.
The blade deploys smoothly via an elongated thumb hole, providing a clean, ambidextrous opening method that doesn’t rely on flashy mechanics. It’s intuitive, practical, and reliable—perfect for users who want one-handed opening that works in real conditions. Once deployed, a sturdy linerlock keeps the blade secure, offering peace of mind whether you're cutting through cardboard, rope, or daily carry materials.
With an overall thickness of just .11 inches at the blade, the Gideon is agile in hand and a natural slicer, making it a go-to tool for everyday jobs that demand precision. It manages to strike that rare balance between being slim and solid, delivering confidence without unnecessary bulk.
The handle scales are made of jade-colored G-10, offering a cool, translucent look that pairs perfectly with the rugged finish of the blade. G-10 is a highly durable, weather-resistant composite known for its strength-to-weight ratio and excellent grip. Even in wet or slippery conditions, the Gideon stays secure in hand. The neutral colorway adds a touch of modern minimalism to the design and works well with a variety of pocket carry styles.
Measuring 4.51 inches closed and 8.01 inches overall, the Gideon hits a comfortable size for most users. It’s large enough to feel substantial and handle heavier cutting tasks, yet compact enough to carry easily all day. Weighing just 3.64 ounces, it won’t drag down your pocket or pack. It’s the kind of knife you’ll carry every day without even thinking about it—until you need it.
