Product Description
The Counterpart™ is a masterclass in functional harmony, designed by the legendary Ken Onion to deliver a seamless blend of everyday utility and high-performance mechanics. Built for the user who demands a "no-nonsense" tool that performs with surgical precision, the Counterpart features Onion’s signature ergonomic flowing lines paired with a robust modern locking system. Whether you are navigating daily urban tasks or weekend outdoor projects, this folder provides a balanced, lightweight cutting platform that feels like a natural extension of the hand.
The 3.38" drop point blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27, a high-performance Swedish stainless steel optimized for professional-grade sharpness, high toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The blade is finished with a durable black oxide coating, providing a non-reflective, low-profile look that stands up to the rigors of frequent use. Deployment is lightning-fast and silky-smooth thanks to the integrated IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system. The handle is constructed from lightweight, gray glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), featuring a sophisticated ergonomic shape that ensures a secure, fatigue-free grip. Secured by a fully ambidextrous Crossbar Lock, the Counterpart offers a rock-solid lockup and effortless one-handed operation for both left and right-handed users.
