Description
Painstakingly precise. When a watchmaker takes up knifemaking, the knife world inherits a new definition for “precise.” Slim yet hard-working, understated yet powerful, the Flat Out™ everyday carry folding knife is a beautifully badass paradox. Designer Matthew Lerch of Sussex, WI has practiced jewelry making, watch making, and he’s made a serious name for himself as a custom knifemaker. Now, he’s channeled his expertise into creating the Flat Out™.
Its striking profile starts with the thin spearpoint blade style and is balanced by a highly ergonomic and shapely handle. Subtle details like a two-tone satin finish on the blade and bead blast finish on the handle polish the high aesthetic. In motion, though, is where the Flat Out™ truly shines—open it a mere 30 degrees, and OutBurst takes over, deploying the blade at shockingly quick speeds. A frame lock keeps it solidly in place. Exacting design meets hardworking performance in the Flat Out™.
How OutBurst Assisted Opening Works:Simply manually open the blade up to 30 degrees and the patented OutBurst assisted opening mechanism opens the knife fully so that you’re good to go. The powerful assist mechanism also holds the blade securely closed when not in use.
Comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
