Frequently Asked Questions

What makes S30V steel different from standard stainless steel?

CPM-S30V is a premium powder metallurgy steel that holds a sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steels. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides excellent edge retention while maintaining good corrosion resistance for daily carry use.

How does the AXIS lock work?

The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back in the handle. When open, the bar sits behind the blade tang to lock it in place. Pulling back on the bar with your thumb or finger releases the blade for closing.

Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?

Yes, the standard pocket clip is reversible and can be positioned for tip-up carry on either the left or right side of the handle to match your carry preference.

What cutting tasks is the sheepsfoot blade best for?

The sheepsfoot profile excels at utility cutting tasks like opening packages, cutting rope or cord, and precision work. The straight edge and rounded tip reduce the risk of accidental punctures while maintaining excellent cutting performance.

Does this knife come with a sheath?

No, the Mini Griptilian does not include a sheath. It features a pocket clip for everyday carry and is designed to be carried in your pocket rather than on a belt.
