Smith's Noesis 51245 Folding Knife 2.75" 400SS Drop Point Blade

The Smith's Noesis 51245 delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact folding design that fits seamlessly into everyday carry rotations. This drop point folder combines practical blade geometry with corrosion-resistant construction for consistent performance across diverse cutting tasks.

What Makes This Different

The 400 series stainless steel blade offers superior edge retention compared to standard 420 steel commonly found in budget folders. The satin finish reduces glare while providing enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. The bead-blasted stainless steel handle creates a secure grip surface that maintains traction even when wet, setting it apart from smooth-handled alternatives that can slip during use.

Key Features

• 2.75-inch drop point blade in 400 series stainless steel for enhanced edge retention
• Satin blade finish reduces reflection and improves corrosion resistance
• Bead-blasted stainless steel handle provides secure grip in all conditions
• Integrated pocket clip for convenient everyday carry positioning
• Drop point geometry optimizes cutting efficiency for general utility tasks
• Folding design protects blade edge and ensures safe pocket carry
• Plain edge configuration handles rope, cardboard, and packaging materials effectively

Field testing demonstrates consistent lockup under normal cutting loads, while the drop point profile excels at detail work and general utility cutting. The blade length falls within legal carry limits for most jurisdictions while providing adequate cutting surface for camping, work, and emergency situations. The stainless steel construction resists rust formation in marine environments and high-humidity conditions where carbon steel alternatives would require constant maintenance.
