Clean Handle, Same Reliable Knife
If you looked at the 5-hole handle version and thought “I’d rather have something smoother,” this is the same knife with a solid handle. No holes, no cutouts — just a clean stainless steel handle that feels solid in your hand. Same automatic mechanism, same blade, same safety lock, same price. It’s a preference thing, and neither one is wrong.
Who This Knife Is For
This is for the person who wants a clean-looking automatic knife without any aggressive styling. You prefer a smooth handle that doesn’t catch on pocket lining. You use a knife for everyday tasks — opening packages, cutting rope, slicing tape — and you want something that deploys fast and looks professional. Maybe you carry it in a work environment where a tactical-looking knife would raise eyebrows. The solid handle keeps things understated.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the solid handle automatic if you want:
- A cleaner, more professional look than the 5-hole model
- A smoother handle for easy pocket entry and exit
- Fast automatic deployment with a reliable safety lock
Consider something else if you need:
- Better wet-hand grip (the 5-hole handle has more texture)
- An OTF knife with front-deploying blade action
Solid Handle Advantages
A solid handle slides in and out of your pocket without snagging. It doesn’t collect lint and debris the way cutout handles can. It also has a slightly more finished appearance — less “tactical,” more “tool.” In terms of weight, it’s the same 0.4 lbs as the 5-hole version because stainless steel is stainless steel. The feel is just a little different — more heft in the hand, less finger texture.
The automatic mechanism is identical. Press the button, blade fires out and locks into position. The safety lock prevents the button from engaging when you don’t want it to. The 3.5-inch stainless steel blade handles everyday cutting tasks without drama. Collapsed length is 4.5 inches — compact enough for front or back pocket carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the solid handle slippery?
It’s smoother than the 5-hole version, but stainless steel has natural friction. For normal dry-hand use, grip isn’t an issue. If you regularly work with wet or oily hands, the 5-hole version gives you more grip security.
Can I sharpen the blade myself?
Yes. A standard sharpening stone or pull-through sharpener works fine on stainless steel. Just maintain a consistent angle and don’t over-grind. A few passes every couple of weeks keeps the edge working for you.
Does this come with a pocket clip?
Check the product images for clip details. Either way, at 4.5 inches collapsed and 0.4 lbs, it rides comfortably in a front pocket even without a clip.
