Xcaliber Knife Company Pen Knife 1.70" OTF Dagger Stainless 440C SS Blade, 5.90" Black Aluminum Handle

The Xcaliber Knife Company Pen Knife is a compact OTF dagger built for packability and quick deployment. At just 1.70 inches, the blade tucks into a profile so slim it lives in a pocket, pack, or range bag without calling attention to itself. The 440C stainless steel blade holds an edge decently for camp tasks, food prep, or general utility work, and stainless steel won't demand the obsessive maintenance of high-carbon steel in the field. Whether you're breaking down boxes at base camp, processing game, or need a backup blade on a hunting trip, this OTF gives you instant access without fumbling.

The 5.90-inch black aluminum handle gives you solid purchase on a knife this size without adding weight or bulk. Aluminum is durable enough for hard use and won't corrode if it gets wet on a backcountry hunt or wet camp environment. For hunters, shooters, and overlanders who value gear that stays reliable and doesn't take up real estate in an already-loaded pack, this is the kind of tool that earns its carry.

OTF (out-the-front) mechanics mean the blade deploys instantly—no folding, no wasted motion. That speed matters when you need a knife and need it now. The dagger profile is versatile: sharp enough for skinning and processing, robust enough for camp chores and general cutting tasks.
