SRM Retriever 9201-PL Folding Knife, Blue

The SRM Retriever 9201-PL folding knife in blue is a practical and reliable tool for camping, hiking, and everyday carry. This model is designed as a versatile EDC assistant: it combines an aggressive blade geometry, a comfortable handle design, and thoughtful locking for safe operation in various conditions.

The blade features a Clip Point profile with a fine tip for precise punctures, while the straight sharpened edge provides neat and controlled cuts. A ribbed area for thumb rest is located on the spine near the base, enhancing control during delicate tasks. A black coating is applied to reduce glare and provide additional protection to the blade's working surface; the matte finish makes the knife less conspicuous and more practical in field conditions.

Materials and Mechanics

The blade is made of 8Cr13MoV steel — a stainless grade that combines good edge retention and ease of sharpening: the hardness is 57–59 HRC. The handle is made of fiber-reinforced nylon (FRN), which is lightweight, rigid, and resistant to moisture and temperature changes; the FRN texture provides a secure grip even in wet conditions or with gloves.

Opening is done via a through-hole in the blade, which is convenient for both right and left hands. Steel bearings are used in the pivot assembly, ensuring smooth and fast blade action. The deployed blade is secured by an Ambi Lock (Crossbar Lock) — a transverse spring-loaded pin that provides symmetrical ergonomics for right- and left-handers and enhances safety during closing.

Practical Features

The knife is equipped with a two-position Tip-Up steel clip for pocket carry for either the right or left hand. A lanyard hole is provided in the tail end of the handle, allowing for the attachment of a cord or suspension. Thanks to its compact weight and thoughtful design, the tool is convenient for everyday carry and hiking.
