SRM Retriever 9201-GW Folding Knife, Brown

The SRM Retriever 9201-GW folding knife is a compact and reliable tool for everyday use in the city and during hikes. This model is designed as a versatile EDC assistant: it combines an aggressive blade shape, durable materials, and thoughtful ergonomics for precise work and solving daily tasks.

The blade features a Clip Point profile with a very thin tip, providing excellent piercing capabilities, while the straight, long edge delivers ideal and even cuts. Near the base of the spine, there is a ribbed area (jimping) for thumb support, making control over the blade more precise and safe.

The blade is treated with a matte black finish (stonewash), which reduces glare and gives the tool a subdued look. The combination of blade geometry and matte finish makes the knife practical and pleasant to use for EDC.

Materials and Mechanics. The blade is made of D2 steel — a semi-stainless tool grade that holds sharpness for a long time and is easily sharpened with standard abrasives. The blade hardness is 59–61 HRC, ensuring a balance between edge retention and workability. Steel bearings are used in the pivot assembly for smooth and fast blade action.

The handle is made of G10 composite material: durable molded scales are resistant to moisture, chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations. The rough texture of the handle ensures a confident grip even with gloves or in wet conditions, and the chamfers reduce point loads on the palm during prolonged work.

The knife opens via a through-hole on the blade, allowing for quick and convenient opening with either the right or left hand. The locking system — Ambi Lock (Crossbar Lock) — is based on a transverse spring-loaded pin that secures the blade in the open position; the design provides symmetrical ergonomics for right-handed and left-handed users and additional safety when closing, as fingers do not enter the blade's path.

For convenient carrying, a two-position Tip-Up steel clip is provided, which can be installed on the right or left side of the handle. There is a lanyard hole in the tail end, allowing for attachment of a cord or suspension.
