Porcupine - Top Liner Lock (2.99" 14C28N Blade & Bamboo Micarta Handle) - A2626

Porcupine: Refined Through Experience — Born from Real Feedback The Porcupine has stood as a symbol of strength, utility, and precision since its debut.  Over the past year, it's traveled with us to countless shows and meetups, where real conversations with knife enthusiasts revealed an important insight  — while many loved its design, some found their fingers  occasionally caught during deployment. That feedback inspired the Porcupine Thumb Stud Version — keeping the same trusted build and bold character, now with a smoother, faster, and more intuitive opening experience.    Dependable Locking and Opening System The Top Liner Lock ensures smooth, one-handed operation and a secure lock-up, keeping your fingers safely away from the blade path during use. The nearly hidden lock bar is integrated inside the handle with a stainless-steel plate and reinforced by a solid steel backspacer for added rigidity. The new thumb stud design enables effortless, controlled opening while maintaining the Porcupine's signature handling and balance.   Pointy Tip and Big Belly Blade The generous blade belly makes slicing tasks—such as cutting meat, fruits, and vegetables—an absolute breeze. The pointy tip delivers precision for detailed work such as opening packages, cutting ropes, or slicing through cardboard. The 2.99" 14C28N blade offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance — ideal for both EDC and outdoor use.   Comfort Grip and Balanced Control With its 1.22" wide handle, the Porcupine fits comfortably in medium to large hands. Choose between G10, Micarta or Bamboo Micarta handle materials to match your preferred feel and aesthetic. The forward choil allows multiple grip positions, while the dedicated handle choil prevents slippage during heavy use. The barrel lanyard tube enhances convenience for carrying, retrieving, and storing your knife while adding structural support to the handle.   Detailed Features Jimping ensures maximum grip and control at all key touchpoints. A stabilizing pin reinforces the handle, preventing deformation over time. All titanium-coated T8 screws simplify maintenance and add enhanced corrosion resistance, requiring just a single screwdriver. Internally milled liners reduce weight while maintaining strength for both EDC and demanding tasks. The thumb stud design allows smooth and controlled opening, even when wearing gloves. The titanium-coated recessed button enhances durability and wear resistance while minimizing accidental openings for improved safety.
