The Schrade 1159301 Slingshot delivers reliable cutting performance with its 4-inch AUS-10 stainless steel blade and secure lockback mechanism. This folding knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials for everyday carry and outdoor tasks.
What Makes This Different
The recurve clip point blade geometry provides superior slicing capability compared to standard straight-edge designs. AUS-10 steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, maintaining sharpness longer than basic stainless formulations. The slingshot-style handle design distributes pressure evenly across the palm, reducing fatigue during extended use.
