blade is concealed in a cobalt blue handle when closed. And thanks to its Assisted Opening technology, the Stickler deploys fast and smooth whenever you’re ready to put it to use. A classy gentleman design with a touch of personality, it’s an old soul in a brand new build.

Inspired by the likes of vintage melon tester knives, designer Jeff Park wanted to create something that could handle everyday tasks, while also look timeless in its design. Mission accomplished. A slender folding knife, the Stickler employs modern technology, using Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening. Complete with the IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the blade deploys in the blink of an eye for a smooth rotation, making the Stickler a modern invention that just happens to look like it could be from another era.

Tackling the everyday to-do list, its 12C27 Sandvik offers razor-sharp performance with excellent edge retention. Coming out at 3.38” in length, this compact carry is a snappy companion for around the garage, home, or office. 

With the Stickler, you won’t have to choose between style and function.

How Assisted Opening Works

It's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part-way through the rotation the blade swings open at an impressive speed for simple, powerful, one-handed opening.
