Product Description
The Pilar III is the perfect fusion of minimal design and maximum utility. Designed by Jesper Voxnaes and inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s legendary adventure boat, this everyday carry folding knife is a modern take on the classic sailor's tool with a sophisticated urban twist. It maintains the iconic DNA of the Pilar series while offering a longer, more slender blade profile for enhanced reach and versatility.
The Pilar III features a 2.97" drop point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, providing exceptional edge retention and long-term durability for demanding tasks. The rugged stonewashed finish is designed to hide wear and resist corrosion through years of use. Deployment is lightning-fast and fluid thanks to the integrated thumb slot and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. The ergonomics are defined by a hybrid handle—featuring a high-traction Earth Brown textured G-10 front scale for a secure grip and a blackwashed stainless steel frame-lock back for rock-solid structural integrity. This is a must-have for those seeking both high-level functionality and understated elegance in their everyday carry essentials.
