Ultralight Yet Rigid
The Narrows earns its name with a frame thickness of just 7 mm, making it one of the thinnest full-size folding knives available. Despite its minimal profile, it retains excellent rigidity thanks to precision milling and internal structural supports. The lightweight design doesn't compromise strength or functionality.

Premium Blade Steel
The knife features a blade made of Böhler M390, a high-end powdered steel known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpening performance. The blade shape is a practical drop point with a high flat grind and a fine satin finish—perfect for everyday cutting tasks.

Slimmed-Down AXIS® Lock
A re-engineered AXIS® lock fits seamlessly into the Narrows’ ultra-slim profile. The mechanism is smooth and fast, operating on ball bearings for effortless one-handed deployment and secure lockup. The absence of liners contributes to the knife’s incredibly light weight.

Ergonomic Titanium Build
The frame is milled from solid titanium with subtle 3D contouring for comfort and a confident grip. Despite the narrow construction, it offers excellent control thanks to a forward finger choil and jimping on the spine. The finish is clean, modern, and elegant.

Discreet Carry
A deep-carry, tip-up pocket clip keeps the Narrows low-profile in the pocket. Its streamlined, lanyard-free design enhances portability without drawing attention.
