The Schrade Knife Lateral Folder with 3.25" Aus-10 Black/Grey Laminate blade is a compact, reliable cutting tool designed for everyday carry, tactical use, and field applications. Built by Schrade—a trusted manufacturer with decades of American blade heritage—this lateral folder suits users who demand a lightweight folder that delivers dependable performance without bulk. Whether for general utility, outdoor work, or professional carry, this knife balances portability with cutting capability in a form factor that fits most pockets and gear configurations.

At the core of this folder is an Aus-10 stainless steel blade, a mid-range alloy known for holding an acceptable edge while offering rust resistance suitable for varied environments. The black and grey laminate finish provides both aesthetic contrast and practical corrosion protection, making the blade visible in low light while resisting weathering. The lateral folder design—where the blade deploys horizontally from the handle—delivers rapid, intuitive opening and a secure lock-up that inspires confidence during demanding cuts. Weighing just 0.38 lbs, the knife remains virtually unnoticed on belt, in pocket, or attached to gear, making it ideal for professionals and enthusiasts who cannot afford weight penalties.

This lateral folder serves military personnel, law enforcement, outdoor recreationalists, and everyday carry users seeking a proven, no-nonsense blade. The compact 3.25" cutting edge handles food prep, rope work, and general cutting tasks without crossing legal restrictions in most jurisdictions. Its modest dimensions (4.45 × 0.85 × 11.9 inches when closed) make it a practical backup or primary knife for those who value accessibility and speed over maximum reach. Users should verify local blade-length and carry regulations before purchase, as laws vary by location; once confirmed, this Schrade lateral folder delivers genuine utility and tactile reliability.
