Why work professionals carry the Gauntlet

Built for the people who don't take their gloves off.

01 / Blade

D2 tool steel — wear-resistant, edge-keeping.

D2 is a high-carbon tool steel known for exceptional edge retention and wear resistance. Holds an edge through heavy work — scoring drywall, stripping wire, opening packaging all day. The kind of blade that gets sharpened less often.

02 / Lock

Button lock — fast, one-handed, glove-friendly.

Press the button to release the blade. Works the same with insulated gloves, work gloves, or bare hands. Smoother than liner locks, faster than frame locks, and doesn't require you to twist or adjust your grip to operate.

03 / Handle

Textured G10 — grip in any condition.

G10 composite handle with aggressive texturing for confident grip — wet, oily, gloved, cold. The kind of handle that doesn't slip when your hands are sweating or your gloves are slick. Same material used in firearm grips and tactical gear.

04 / Clip

Oversized pocket clip — retrievable with gloves.

Most pocket clips are sized for bare fingers — fine for office work, useless if you're wearing gloves. The Gauntlet's oversized clip is designed to be retrieved with gloved hands without fumbling, slipping, or wasting time.

The story

Designed for hands that don't stop.

Most EDC folders are designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts — beautiful builds optimized for showing off in clean office hands. They're great. They're also useless if you're wearing insulated work gloves trying to cut through a packing strap in the cold.

The Gauntlet was built for the other crowd: tradespeople, mechanics, EMS, anyone who actually works with their hands all day. Every design decision — the oversized clip, the button lock, the textured G10 — was made to work the same with gloves as without.

D2 tool steel blade because it holds an edge through real work. 4 oz weight because you have to carry it for 12 hours. Drop Point or Hawksbill because different jobs need different blade profiles.

FAQ

Common questions.

Drop Point or Hawksbill — which should I get?

Drop Point is the all-purpose blade — good for utility cutting, food prep, general work. Hawksbill (curved like a hawk's beak) is better for rope, cord, scoring, and pull-cuts. Pick based on whether you cut things with a sweeping motion (Drop Point) or by hooking and pulling (Hawksbill).

Why D2 steel?

D2 is a tool steel with excellent edge retention and high carbon content — holds an edge longer than basic stainless steels and stays sharp through heavy work. Slight tradeoff in corrosion resistance vs. stainless, but the wear-resistance is worth it for a working knife.

What's a button lock?

Press the button on the handle to release the blade. Smoother than liner locks or frame locks, faster to operate one-handed, and works the same with or without gloves on. The kind of lock that just works.

Will it really work with gloves?

Yes — that was the whole point of the design. Oversized pocket clip for gloved retrieval, textured G10 for grip with insulated gloves, button lock that you can press through gloves. Tested by trades workers, mechanics, and anyone working with their hands in cold weather.

Is it good for hard daily work?

Yes. D2 blade + G10 handle + button lock + 4oz weight is the sweet spot for a working folder — heavy enough to handle real cutting, light enough for daily carry, built from materials that last.

What's the warranty?

Lifetime against manufacturing defects. If the lock, blade, handle, or clip fails because of how we built it, we replace it.

Last call
