Assisted Open Folding Pocket Knife, 3.25-Inch 3Cr13 Steel Blade, Accent Handle, Belt Clip, Lanyard Hole — Everyday Carry EDC Knife

Walking to your car after a late shift. Cutting rope on a job site. Opening a package when no one hands you scissors. A good pocket knife handles all of it — and when things go sideways, it handles that too. The question isn’t whether you need a blade on you. It’s whether the one you’re carrying is actually worth reaching for.

It works for tradespeople, commuters, college students, hikers, and anyone who carries a bag or wears a belt.

This is a $18 blade with a steel rating used in mid-tier knives across the industry, an assisted-open mechanism that works with one hand, and a clip that keeps it in position. It’s not a showpiece. It’s a carry knife. That’s exactly what it’s designed to be.

Frequently Asked Questions Is this knife legal to carry in my state?Assisted open knives are legal in most US states, but laws vary by location — especially in cities. Some areas restrict blade length or assisted-open mechanisms in public spaces. Before you carry, spend five minutes checking your state and local laws. We want you prepared and legal, not caught off guard. How sharp does it come out of the box?It arrives with a working factory edge — sharp enough for everyday cutting tasks right away. For a finer edge, a basic knife sharpener will bring the 3Cr13 steel up quickly. It’s not a hard steel to sharpen, which is actually an advantage for anyone who maintains their own tools. Can I use this for self-defense?This knife is listed in the personal defense category for a reason — an assisted-open blade is a legitimate last-resort option in a close-range threat. That said, a knife is a serious tool with serious responsibility attached. Know your local laws on carrying and use. Better yet, pair it with a non-lethal option like pepper spray as your first line of response. What does 3Cr13 steel mean for everyday use?3Cr13 is a mid-grade stainless steel common in carry knives at this price point. It holds a reasonable edge, resists rust well with basic care, and sharpens easily. It won’t hold up like high-carbon premium steel under extreme conditions, but for daily utility and occasional hard use, it’s more than sufficient.
