Designed with precision and purpose, this knife is built for serious everyday carry, combining utility, comfort, and clean aesthetics in one dependable package.
At the heart of the Avid 1 is a 3.25-inch drop point blade made from high-performance CPM S45VN stainless steel. Known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, S45VN is a steel that thrives under pressure and holds up through hard use.

Quick deployment is made easy with the smooth blade flipper, ensuring one-handed opening that’s fast and intuitive.
This knife locks up solid with a linerlock mechanism, giving you confidence in the blade’s stability during demanding tasks. The handle scales are crafted from layered gray and black carbon fiber, offering a unique, high-end aesthetic while maintaining lightweight durability. The contours and texture of the handle provide a secure, comfortable grip whether you’re working through daily chores or tackling field work.
A black, tip-up pocket clip ensures the Avid 1 rides discreetly and securely in your pocket. With a closed length of 4.25 inches and an overall length of 7.7 inches, the knife offers a perfect middle ground between compact carry and full-hand performance. Weighing just 3.8 ounces, it’s light enough for all-day pocket comfort without compromising on strength.
