Cold Steel Engage Atlas Lock 2.5" Stonewashed 4116SS Black GFN Folder FL-25DPLC

Designed for daily carry, the workhorse Engage line from Cold Steel provides hard use folding knives that are comfortable, secure, and easy to operate thanks to the innovative Atlas slide lock mechanism. Fully ambidextrous and built like a tank, the Engage is a reliable choice for EDC use. This 2.5" version comes with a clip point blade of stonewashed 4116 stainless steel and black GFN handle scales. 

Brand new, direct from Cold Steel.

Blade: Equipped with a heavy stonewashed finish to hide wear the 4116 stainless steel clip point blade has a high saber grind that delivers durability balanced with performance. A generous thumb scoop allows for added leverage in heavy use with a subtle harpoon clip for piercing strength. The sub-3 inch blade is compact to carry and great for general EDC tasks. Deployment is fast and smooth riding on nylon washers opening via the dual thumb studs or the Atlas lock.

Handle: Contoured, wood grain textured glass-filled nylon (GFN) scales deliver a solid handle that is lightweight and comfortable. Grooves provide added traction while a large index guard gives added safety during heavy use. Exceptionally strong yet easy to operate, the Atlas lock is fidget friendly and ready for serious use.

Carries via a reversible stainless steel deep carry clip.

4116 Stainless Steel: A mid-carbon German stainless steel also known as 1.4116. Similar to 420HC with good corrosion resistance, toughness, and sharpness and moderate edge retention. Used in high-end Henckels and Wusthof kitchen knives.

Atlas Lock: This patent pending slide lock offers ease of use with exceptional strength. A spring-loaded steel bar rides on pins set into the handle. The forked end of the bar slides around two pins that serve as blade and lock stops respectively. The interior prong of the fork sits between the blade stop pin and blade tang locking the knife solidly in the open position and distributing lock force over the two pins for added strength (tested to over 700 lbs!).
