Vietnam AO Linerlock/Stacked Leather Look Alum Handle SX1989VM

The Sigma Impex Vietnam AO Linerlock is a bold, functional folding knife that blends tactical styling with a respectful nod to history. Built for utility and designed to make a statement, this knife is as capable in the field as it is meaningful in design. Whether you’re adding it to your everyday rotation or looking for a standout piece with significance, this blade delivers on both performance and purpose.

The 3.5" drop point blade is made from durable stainless steel and finished in a striking black satin coating. The edge is sharp, versatile, and well-suited for slicing, piercing, or general work. What sets this blade apart is the Vietnam Wall graphic etched along the blade surface—a tribute to sacrifice, service, and legacy. It's more than just steel; it’s a reminder of honor carried with every use.

Deploying the blade is quick and reliable thanks to the assisted opening mechanism and integrated flipper tab. A firm press brings the blade to life in an instant, ready for action when seconds count. Once open, a secure linerlock holds the blade firmly in place, giving you confidence during heavy cutting tasks and ensuring it stays put until you’re ready to close it down.

The handle measures 4.75" closed and features an orange synthetic grip styled to mimic the look of stacked leather—offering the classic feel of a traditional fighting knife with the resilience and ease of maintenance modern materials provide. It fits comfortably in hand, offering a steady grip whether you're working in gloves or bare-handed. The tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife accessible yet secure, riding low and steady in your pocket.

At 8.5" overall and weighing in at 4.4 ounces, this knife strikes a practical balance between size and heft. It feels substantial without being cumbersome, and its design makes it equally at home in a collection or clipped to your gear for daily use. With its combination of tribute design, dependable construction, and field-ready features, the Vietnam AO Linerlock is a knife with a mission.
