Schrade 1159301 Slingshot Lockback Folder 4" Recurve Clip Point/Satin Aus-10 Blade 5" G10 Handle

The Schrade Slingshot Lockback Folder is a compact EDC knife built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and working folks who need a reliable blade in their pocket. This recurve clip point lockback folder pairs a 4-inch AUS-10 stainless steel blade in satin finish with a robust 5-inch G10 handle, giving you a legit cutting tool that's easy to carry and quick to deploy when you need it. The lockback mechanism locks the blade open for confident use, while the clip point recurve design excels at slicing and detail work—whether you're field dressing game, preparing camp meals, or handling general utility tasks in the field.

G10 scales deliver excellent grip in wet or dry conditions and hold up to hard use without showing the wear that some softer handle materials will. AUS-10 is a proven stainless steel that holds an edge reasonably well and resists rust, making it a no-fuss choice for outdoor work. The recurve curve of the blade creates a sweet spot for cutting tasks and gives you more usable edge than a straight design in the same package size.

At 5 inches closed, the Slingshot fits comfortably in a pocket or pack without bulk, and at that size it's a tool that stays with you without getting in the way. The Schrade name carries decades of solid reputation for producing knives that work, not flash. This is the kind of knife that earns its place in your kit through reliability and honest performance.
