Steel Will Modus Mini Satin D2 Flipper Gray FRN F25M-14

The Steel Will Modus Mini is a sub-3″ version of the popular urban carry Modus model. The modified Wharncliffe/Sheepsfoot blade is all belly for excellent slicing and the thin stock and high height of the grind make it even better. D2 steel and lightweight yet durable FRN deliver solid performance in a sub-3 oz flipper that is easy to carry in more restrictive urban environments without sacrificing utility or performance. This version comes with a satin finished blade and Gray FRN handles.

Brand new, direct from Steel Will Knives.

Blade: The 2.75″ blade is made from satin finished, 3mm D2 tool steel executed in a high height grind that delivers robust durability with solid slicing performance. The continuous curve of the modified ‘Sheepscliffe’ blade lends the knife to slicing tasks and the tip is fine yet robust. It opens smoothly with an integral flipper tab riding on a bronze washers pivot system. A well dialed detent makes the blade deploy just like a bearing pivot flipper but with the more bomb-proof washer construction.

Handle: Lightweight fiberglass reinforced nylon or FRN is utilized for the handle scales which are textured for grip but smooth and contoured around the edges for comfort during use. The jewel blue anodized aluminum backspacer has jimping along the spine offering increased traction in the hand and a pop of color. Nested steel liners are skeletonized for further weight reduction and form a liner lock mechanism that provides smooth, reliable operation and rock solid lock-up of the knife. Satin finished hardware rounds out the construction.

Carries via a reversible stainless steel, tip-up only pocket clip.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all-around knife steel.
