Camillus 19079 Chameleon 3.50" Folding Drop Point Plain Black Carbonitride Titanium Aus-8A Ss Blade, Carbon Fiber/Aluminum Handle

The Camillus 19079 Chameleon is a compact folding knife built for hunters, campers, and field workers who need reliable cutting performance without the bulk. This 3.50" folding drop point blade pairs a tough AUS-8A stainless steel edge—treated with a black carbonitride finish for corrosion resistance—with a carbon fiber and aluminum handle that keeps weight minimal while delivering solid grip and durability. Drop point blades excel at controlled cuts in the field, whether you're processing game, camp chores, or general outdoor work.

The carbonitride treatment on the blade isn't just cosmetic; it hardens the steel surface and resists rust and wear in wet or harsh conditions. AUS-8A stainless steel is known for holding an edge well while remaining easy to sharpen in the field—a practical balance for working knives. The carbon fiber and aluminum construction on the handle provides a good strength-to-weight ratio, so you won't feel unnecessary heft in your pack or pocket.

Whether you're breaking down camp, processing game, or handling backcountry tasks, the Chameleon delivers the kind of no-nonsense cutting tool that works as hard as you do. It's the kind of knife that disappears into a pack or knife sheath until you need it.
