Guardian Tactical Mini Apex Black Aluminum Carbon Fiber Inlay MagnaMax Stonewash OTF Automatic Knife (3.10" Blade) 17-2511

The Guardian Tactical Mini Apex wears a worked Stonewash MagnaMax blade in a compact, pocket-size OTF, its thumb-slide fire and return handled by Guardian's two-spring, four-point X-Drive system.

• Stonewash MagnaMax Drop Point - A stonewash finish hides wear and scratches across the drop point, ground thin behind upper swedges for nimble slicing. MagnaMax is a premium powder-metallurgy stainless that holds an edge a long time, resists corrosion, and still sharpens without a fight.
• Black Aluminum Chassis & Carbon Fiber Inlays - Machined black anodized aluminum keeps the compact grip light and comfortable. Removable frag-textured carbon fiber inlays read smooth under the thumb, so grip comes from the block-pattern milling. A square glass breaker caps the end of the handle.
• X-Drive Deployment System - Thumb the slide and the blade fires and retracts with a silky, hard-hitting snap. Guardian Tactical's X-Drive runs two blade springs and four points of contact for consistent deploy and return, backed by a patented ball-bearing button.
• Milled Titanium Pocket Clip - The reversible titanium clip swaps to either side for ambidextrous tip-down carry and holds the compact knife secure in the pocket. Milled from solid titanium, it is a clean, sharp-looking finishing touch.

The Guardian Tactical Mini Apex

The Guardian Tactical Mini Apex takes the full-size Apex platform and shrinks it to a size that rides easily in a pocket. The design centers on the action, so the Mini keeps the same X-Drive deployment the line is known for, tuned through two springs and four points of contact for smooth, forceful fire. Removable carbon fiber inlays let Guardian Tactical build the handle to different tastes, while the block-milled aluminum chassis keeps the compact frame light. It is an everyday-carry auto that trades away the size, not the mechanism.
