Defcon Sharks Tooth S35VN Titanium Frame Lock Knife

If you ever find yourself in close proximity with a real shark’s tooth, good luck. Fortunately, Defcon gives us a way to carry one safely at our side every day in this 8.7-inch frame lock folder. Crafted with a large drop-point blade that tapers to a wicked-sharp tip, the Sharks Tooth makes quick work of slicing tasks and detail work. Not to mention it’s made of S35VN stainless steel—one of the best all around steels on the market when it comes to performance. Using the thumb ramp, you can choke up for cuts that require more precision. Backed by a titanium frame lock, this is one folder that won’t back down to any challenge—be it under water or on land.

Developed by Crucible Industries (one of the leading manufacturers of specialty steels for the cutlery industry) and Chris Reeve (arguably the most famous knifemaker in the world), S35VN is perhaps the most balanced blade steel ever created in terms of all-around performance. It’s made through a process of powdered metallurgy known as CPM, which results in near perfect consistency in the distribution of carbides. Compared to conventional melting practices, the CPM process produces a steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness.
