The Browning Hidden Hollow EDC Large delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3-inch D2 steel blade and tactical OD green G10 handle construction. This drop point folder combines premium materials with practical design elements that meet demanding everyday carry requirements.
What Makes This Different
The Hidden Hollow features a black oxide stonewashed D2 steel blade that maintains edge retention significantly longer than standard stainless options. D2 tool steel provides superior hardness at 60-62 HRC while the stonewashed finish reduces glare and masks minor scratches during heavy use. The OD green G10 handle scales offer enhanced grip texture and impact resistance compared to aluminum or polymer alternatives.
