A mid-size assisted-open folder with a 3.5-inch blade and stainless steel handle scales — a step up from bare aluminum in terms of feel, and available in four colors so you can actually find the one you want. Includes both a belt/visor clip and a lanyard hole, which covers most carry preferences without needing to buy anything extra.

  • 3.5-inch 3Cr13 steel blade — a practical everyday length, comfortable for most utility tasks
  • Stainless steel handle — more substantial feel than aluminum, holds up to regular pocket carry
  • 8-inch overall length — mid-size folder that balances carry comfort and usable blade length
  • Belt/visor clip + lanyard hole — two carry options in one knife
  • Four color options — green, orange, purple, and red

A Mid-Size Folder That Covers the Basics Well

The sweet spot for a lot of everyday carry knives is somewhere around 3.5 inches of blade on a handle that fills the hand without being too much for a front pocket. This one sits right in that range. The stainless steel handle gives it a more solid feel than lighter aluminum handles, and the four color choices — green, orange, purple, red — make it easy to match a preference or spot it in a bag.

The clip and lanyard hole together mean you’ve got options. Clip it to a belt, hang it from a pack strap, or just drop it in a pocket with the clip keeping it oriented correctly. It’s a versatile setup for a pocket knife.

Who This Folding Knife Is For

Someone who wants a mid-size everyday carry knife with a little more substance than the compact lightweight options. If you prefer a knife that feels like something in your hand rather than a sliver in your pocket, the stainless handle delivers that.

The lanyard hole makes it a good fit for backpackers and hikers who want to attach it to a pack or keep it accessible without a separate clip system. The orange and red options are particularly useful outdoors — easier to spot if you set it down somewhere.

It also makes a solid gift knife. The color options give it personality, the price is reasonable, and it’s a genuinely useful thing to own.

Is This the Right Choice for You?

Choose this 8″ folder if you want:

  • A mid-size assisted folder with a stainless handle for better grip and durability
  • Both a carry clip and a lanyard hole without buying accessories separately
  • A color option that matches your preference or stands out in a bag
  • A 3.5-inch blade that fits within most legal carry limits

Consider something else if you need:

  • A longer 4-inch blade for heavier utility work
  • A very lightweight knife — the stainless handle adds some weight compared to aluminum

What Makes the Stainless Handle Worth Noting

Most budget-friendly folding knives use aluminum or G10 handle scales to keep weight down. Stainless steel handles add a little weight but they’re notably more durable under regular use — they don’t scratch, dent, or discolor the way aluminum can. You also get a better grip in wet hands, which matters if you’re carrying this outdoors.

The assisted-open on this knife uses the same reliable thumb-stud mechanism as similar folders in this line. Push the stud to the break point, the spring opens it the rest of the way, and the liner lock holds it solid. Close it by pressing the liner and folding the blade back — simple, repeatable, no surprises.

The 3.5-inch 3Cr13 blade is a practical choice at this price. It sharpens up fast, handles everyday cutting without issue, and won’t rust on you from normal handling. For box cutting, food prep, rope, and general use, it’s all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a stainless steel handle over aluminum?

It comes down to feel and durability. Aluminum is lighter and easier to machine into interesting shapes, but it scratches and dents with regular pocket carry. Stainless steel handles are harder and hold up better over time — they don’t show wear as quickly, and they provide a firmer grip, especially with wet or oily hands. The tradeoff is a bit more weight. If you prioritize longevity and grip, stainless is worth it.

What’s the lanyard hole useful for?

A lanyard hole lets you attach a cord, paracord loop, or carabiner clip to the knife. That’s useful for clipping it to a backpack zipper pull, attaching it to a belt loop without the clip, or just keeping it from getting lost at the bottom of a bag. Outdoor folks tend to appreciate it — it gives you a way to secure the knife when you’re moving around or working with both hands.

Is the 3.5-inch blade within legal carry limits?

In most U.S. states and many cities, yes. A 3.5-inch folding blade is within the legal carry limit for the majority of jurisdictions — most cutoffs are at 3, 3.5, or 4 inches for folding knives. That said, some cities and states have stricter rules, and a few have regulations specific to assisted-open knives. Check your local laws before carrying any folding knife in public — it’s a five-minute search and worth doing.

Which color is most popular for outdoor use?

Orange and red are the most practical for outdoor settings — they’re easy to spot if you set the knife down on a picnic table, in the dirt, or in tall grass. Green blends in, which some people prefer, but if you’ve ever spent ten minutes looking for a dropped knife at a campsite, you’ll appreciate a bright color. Purple is more of a personal preference choice and looks sharp as an everyday carry option.
