Smith's 51009 Caprella 2.95" Drop Point Folding Knife Steel

The Smith's 51009 Caprella delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact folding design built for everyday carry. This drop point blade combines precision cutting with practical durability for users who demand consistent performance from their pocket knife.

What Makes This Different

The Caprella features a partially serrated 400 series stainless steel blade with bead blasted finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a sharp edge longer than standard carbon steel alternatives. The skeletonized stainless steel handle reduces weight by 15% compared to solid handle designs while maintaining structural integrity. The drop point blade geometry provides optimal balance between piercing capability and edge retention for general cutting tasks.

Key Features

• 2.95-inch drop point blade with partial serration for versatile cutting applications
• 400 series stainless steel construction with bead blasted corrosion-resistant finish
• Skeletonized stainless steel handle reduces carry weight while maintaining grip security
• Integrated pocket clip for secure everyday carry positioning
• Folding design locks blade safely for transport and storage
• Drop point geometry optimizes cutting efficiency across multiple materials
• Partial serration handles fibrous materials and rope cutting tasks

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade retention through extended cutting sessions involving cardboard, rope, and general utility tasks. The stainless steel construction performs reliably in humid environments where carbon steel alternatives show rust formation. The skeletonized handle design provides adequate grip texture while reducing pocket bulk during extended carry periods.
