Browning DA167 Folding Knife — A Reliable Tactical Tool

The Browning DA167 knife from the Browning brand combines compactness, strength, and thoughtful ergonomics for everyday use and field tasks. The model name indicates a forged blade made of 440C steel, while the technical description states that the blade is made of 7Cr13MoV steel with a hardness of 55-56 HRC — we retain both versions of the information for full transparency of characteristics. Such high hardness and steel composition guarantee good wear resistance and a reliable cutting edge.

The blade has a width of 3.1 cm and a thickness of 3.8 mm, which provides additional strength when working with tougher materials. The blade length is 10 cm, the total length of the knife is 23.4 cm, and when folded, it measures only 13.3 cm, making it convenient for carrying in a pocket or pouch. The knife weighs 230 g, balanced for comfortable holding during prolonged use.

The handle is equipped with scales in olive color. The source data mentions the handle material as polymer scales (from the name) and as G10 (textolite) in the technical description — both statements are preserved as they emphasize the strength and reliability of the grip. The ergonomic shape of the handle ensures a stable grip even during prolonged use or in conditions of high humidity.

The locking mechanism is a reliable Liner-lock, ensuring safety during operation by preventing accidental blade closure. The lock design is easy to use and has proven itself well in field conditions.
