SRM 401LC-GB Folding Knife (Black) — Premium Model of the Gent Series

The SRM 401LC-GB folding knife combines minimalist aesthetics and high functionality for everyday carry and outdoor activities. Manufacturer: SRM. Handle and body color: black. The knife features a distinct Drop Point blade profile with a plain edge, making it a versatile tool for precise cuts and controlled piercing.

The blade is made from durable 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel with a hardness of 58–60 HRC. This alloy, with a high chromium content (~14.5–15.5%) and about 1.0% carbon, provides excellent corrosion resistance and high wear resistance due to hard carbides. The blade surface has a Stonewash finish, which reduces glare, conceals scratches, and hides fingerprints.

The knife handle is made of rough G10 composite, with fiberglass laminate scales secured on both sides. G10 is known for its mechanical resistance, moisture insensitivity, and stability under temperature fluctuations, making the handle comfortable and reliable in field conditions.

The opening mechanism features instant deployment via a hidden flipper (Invisible Flipper), with steel bearings in the pivot assembly for smooth action. The blade is secured by a classic Liner Lock. The knife comes with a proprietary two-position steel Ambi-Tip-Up clip, which can be repositioned to the preferred side of the handle for secure pocket carry.
