Product Description
The Tuna Compact is a small, but powerful knife that evokes the strength of its namesake fish. Designed by Lucas Burnley to be an ultra-compact folding knife, it maintains the aggressive "deep-sea carnivore" aesthetic of the original Tuna in a frame that is even easier to carry. Weighing in at just 2.8 ounces, it is a perfect everyday carry solution for those who need a heavy-duty slicer that won't weigh them down.
The Tuna Compact features a 2.73" drop point blade crafted from high-carbon 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a rugged stonewashed finish. Deployment is exceptionally smooth and fast thanks to the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system and a dual thumb stud setup. The ergonomics are defined by a hybrid handle—featuring a textured black G-10 front scale for an all-weather grip and a blackwashed stainless steel frame-lock side for rock-solid strength. This combination ensures the knife feels substantial in the hand while remaining slim and low-profile in the pocket.
