Why it's on GiftsFeed
Compact everyday folder with three opening methods and reversible ring carry
Most pocket knives make you choose between fast access and discreet carry, or they give you one opening method and hope it works every time. This folder puts three deployment techniques on the same tool and lets you reconfigure the finger ring depending on whether you need it visible for a fast draw or hidden for low-profile carry. That flexibility matters if you actually use a knife throughout the day rather than leaving it clipped in the same position forever. The S30V blade and Cerakote treatment mean it will hold an edge through real use, and the ring grip works even when your hands are occupied or slippery—something a thumbhole or flipper can't guarantee.
Good gift when
- People who carry a knife daily and want multiple deployment options
- Anyone who needs a backup blade that won't print or snag in a pocket
- Buyers who prefer finger-ring retention over standard pocket clips
- Those transitioning tactical tools into everyday civilian use
Skip it if You want a larger blade for heavy cutting tasks, prefer assisted opening mechanisms, or live somewhere with restrictive knife carry laws that prohibit folders with retention rings.

The details
This everyday carry folder translates a purpose-built tactical design into a compact package you can configure two different ways. You choose between a finger-ring backspacer for fast access or a finger-ring pocket clip that keeps the knife tucked away until you need it. Both setups work with the included hardware.
The blade opens using whichever method suits the moment: thumb disk, thumb stud, or a deployment hook that catches your pocket edge as you draw. All three are built into the same knife, so you adapt to one-handed situations without fumbling.
Handle scales are textured G10 in a sand tone that won't show everyday wear. The spear-point blade is S30V steel with a flat earth Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and reduces glare. Blade length and overall dimensions keep it legal in most jurisdictions where folders are permitted, though you should confirm local regulations before carrying.
The design comes from SOCP founder Greg Thompson, working from the principles of the full-size 391 model and rethinking them for pocket carry. You get the same attention to access and retention, scaled down to fit a civilian carry routine. The knife locks open securely and closes with deliberate pressure, so it won't fold on you during use but stays easy to operate with one hand.
Both carry configurations put the finger ring in a position where you can hook it during the draw, turning pocket retrieval into a single motion. The ring also gives you a solid grip under stress or when your hands are wet. Whether you use this as a utility blade or keep it as a backup tool, the switching between setups means you don't need two knives to cover different carry preferences.

Questions
- Can I switch between the two carry configurations myself?
- Yes. The knife ships with both the finger-ring backspacer and the finger-ring pocket clip, along with the hardware needed to swap between them. You'll need a basic screwdriver to make the change.
- What's the advantage of having three different opening methods?
- Different situations call for different techniques. The thumb disk and stud work when you're opening the knife in hand, while the pocket hook lets you deploy the blade as you draw from your pocket by catching the edge. Having all three means you can adapt to one-handed scenarios or tight spaces.
- Is the finger ring large enough to use with gloves?
- The ring is sized for quick access with bare hands or light gloves. Heavy winter gloves or work gloves may make it difficult to thread your finger through the ring quickly.
- Will the Cerakote finish wear off over time?
- Cerakote is a durable ceramic coating designed to resist scratches, corrosion, and abrasion. It will show wear with heavy use, particularly at contact points, but it holds up far better than paint or anodizing.
- Does this lock open, or is it a slip-joint?
- The blade locks open securely when deployed. It requires deliberate pressure to close, so it won't fold accidentally during use, but it remains easy to operate with one hand.
