The Schrade 1159320 EDC folding knife delivers reliable cutting performance with its precision-ground AUS-10A stainless steel blade and ergonomic aluminum construction. This compact everyday carry tool combines the utility of a Wharncliffe blade profile with partial serrations for versatile cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The AUS-10A stainless steel blade offers superior edge retention compared to standard 440C steel while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. The Wharncliffe blade geometry provides maximum control for detailed cutting tasks, while the partial serrations handle fibrous materials that would challenge a plain edge. The 4.25-inch aluminum handle features a blue anodized finish that resists wear and provides secure grip in various conditions.
