The Tenable Shard folding knife brings a 3.47” 14C28N stainless steel reverse tanto blade finished in a durable blackwash that helps conceal wear while delivering a broken-in, work-ready aesthetic. The blade geometry is built for control and strength, offering a confident tip for piercing tasks along with a practical edge profile for slicing and utility work. It’s a manual folder designed for dependable, straightforward use, opening cleanly through a thumb hole that provides consistent, controlled deployment.
Textured black G-10 handles give this version a no-nonsense, tactical feel with dependable grip in a wide range of conditions. The surface texture enhances traction without feeling overly aggressive, making it comfortable for extended carry and use. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible in-pocket or on gear, while the sturdy crossbar lock provides solid blade security once deployed. At 4.49” closed and 3.84oz, it carries with a balanced mix of compact size and substantial hand feel.
Designed by knifemaker Kim Ning, the Shard reflects a focus on functional geometry and clean, practical execution. The design prioritizes reliability and usability, with every element working toward efficient performance rather than excess ornamentation. It’s the kind of folder built to disappear in the pocket until it’s needed, then deliver steady, predictable function when called upon.
