A mid-size assisted-open folder with some visual flair — the gold trim hardware and two-tone blade give it a cleaner look than most knives at this price point. It’s built around a 3.5-inch 3Cr13 steel blade with assisted opening, an 8-inch overall length when open, and a stainless steel handle that holds up to regular use. Comes with a belt and visor clip so you’ve got carrying options.
Most assisted-open folders in this price range are purely utilitarian — which is fine, but some people want something that doesn’t look purely functional. This one has the gold trim hardware and two-tone blade finish that give it a bit of character without making it look like a novelty item. It’s still a working knife; it just looks a little sharper doing it.
The 3Cr13 steel is a practical choice at this price point — it sharpens easily, holds a reasonable edge for everyday tasks, and doesn’t require specialty maintenance. The assisted open is reliable for one-handed deployment, which matters when you’re using one hand to hold whatever you’re cutting.
This is a good fit for someone who wants a reliable everyday carry folder that looks a step above the basic black utility knife. The size — 3.5″ blade, 8″ overall — puts it in a comfortable mid-range: substantial enough to handle real tasks, not so large that it’s awkward to carry or attracts unnecessary attention.
Campers, hikers, and hunters will find the blade size and steel type practical for fieldwork. It also works well as a general everyday carry for anyone who regularly needs a knife for boxes, rope, food prep at a campsite, or general utility tasks. The visor clip is a nice detail for people who spend a lot of time in their vehicle.
If you’re looking for a high-end knife with premium steel and a lifetime warranty, this isn’t that — it’s an accessible, solid-quality folder at an accessible price. For daily use and outdoor tasks, it does the job reliably.

Consider something else if you need:
The assisted open mechanism uses a spring-assist system that activates once you push the thumb stud past a certain point — the spring takes it the rest of the way and locks the blade open. It’s not a switchblade (which has legal restrictions in many areas) — it requires that initial manual push, then the assist does the rest. The result is fast, reliable one-handed deployment.
The 3Cr13 steel blade is a mid-grade stainless that sharpens easily with a standard whetstone or ceramic rod. It’s not going to hold an edge as long as higher-end tool steels, but for the tasks most people use an EDC folder for — cutting rope, breaking down boxes, food prep, general camping use — it performs well and is easy to maintain.
The stainless steel handle is sturdy and gives the knife a solid feel in the hand. The gold trim is on the hardware — the bolsters and thumb stud — and the two-tone blade has a contrasting finish on the flat and the bevel. It’s a visual detail that works without making the knife look gaudy.

For an everyday carry folder that combines reliable function with a look that stands out from the standard black utility knife, this one covers the basics well and then some.
No. Assisted-open knives are legally distinct from switchblades in most jurisdictions. A switchblade opens entirely by spring or button mechanism with no manual input required. An assisted-open knife requires you to manually begin the opening motion — pushing the thumb stud — before the spring assist engages. That said, knife laws vary significantly by state and city, so it’s worth checking your local regulations before carrying this in public.
3Cr13 is a mid-grade stainless steel that’s common in knives at this price point. It sharpens quickly and easily, which is a real advantage if you’re maintaining your own edge. The trade-off is that it won’t hold an edge as long as premium tool steels like D2 or S35VN. For everyday tasks — cutting rope, food prep, opening packages, light outdoor use — you’ll sharpen it periodically and it’ll perform reliably. For heavy or abrasive cutting tasks, a premium steel would last longer between sharpenings.
The clip is a standard pocket/belt clip that screws onto the handle — it’s included and already attached. It works clipped to a pants pocket, threaded onto a belt, or hooked over a vehicle sun visor. The visor use case is popular with people who spend significant time driving and want a knife accessible without digging through a bag. It’s a solid clip that holds the knife securely in position.
3Cr13 steel is straightforward to maintain. A ceramic sharpening rod or basic whetstone will bring the edge back quickly. Because it’s stainless, it’s more rust-resistant than high-carbon steels, but it’s not maintenance-free — wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with moisture or acidic materials. A light coat of oil on the pivot and blade every so often keeps the action smooth and prevents any surface corrosion over time.
