The Schrade Slyte Compact delivers premium cutting performance in a streamlined everyday carry package. This folding knife combines D2 tool steel construction with ergonomic stainless steel handle design for reliable service across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different
The D2 steel blade composition sets this knife apart from standard stainless steel alternatives. D2 tool steel maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than conventional blade materials while offering superior wear resistance. The 2.40-inch blade length provides optimal cutting capability without exceeding most local carry restrictions. The dark stonewash finish on the stainless steel handle reduces glare and conceals normal wear patterns.

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across various cutting applications from food preparation to utility tasks.
