The Proponent is an iconic knife featuring a stunning 4” Wharncliffe blade and an overall length of nearly 9”. Its robust design exceeds the specifications of conventional folding knives, making it perfect for any situation. The angled Wharncliffe shape enhances its tactical effectiveness and makes it an excellent large EDC. With a blade width of almost 1.75”, it delivers impressive cutting power for the toughest materials.

·Designer Dirk Pinkerton is a well-known name in the Knife world known for highly practical designs with superb ergonomics. The Proponent’s shape echoes many of Mr. Pinkerton’s classic designs with a focus on being a synthesis of practical and tactical while providing a lot of blades to work with.

·Handle Material For people who want their knives to perform under any condition G10 is an excellent handle material option. G10 is temperature-resistant, water-resistant, non-reactive, non-conductive, and exceptionally tough under pressure. We’ve milled a specific groove pattern into the Proponent to give it additional grip in a slippery situation.

·Lock Pin The Proponent has been built to be exceptionally strong with a robust full liner construction and a liner lock, but for those who want an extra degree of strength and reliability, we have included a hardened steel pin that can be screwed through the scales to act as a secondary locking mechanism. With the pin secured in place, there is virtually no way for the lock to fail during use.

·Ballbearing To ensure smooth and fast operation, we’ve outfitted the Proponent with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot construction, allowing for quick and snappy one-handed flipper deployment and smooth closing action. A ceramic détente ensures that this knife will maintain crisp, sharp action for a lifetime of use. Even with the substantial size of this blade, the action is still smooth and fast.
