Real Avid Blades Rav-5

From the firearm toolmaker Real Avid comes a sharp new subset within the company portfolio, the Rav series of liner-lock knives.

Forged from 8Cr13MoV steel and featuring a drop-point design, the 3.4" blade of the Rav-5 is finished with titanium, contains a section of jimping up top for control and a sharpening choil below.

The everyday-carry blade offers spring-assisted operation, which is completed with a subtle, snag-free flipper.

The aluminum handle features recessed carbon-fiber scales and a reversible pocket clip. Also, a lanyard loop is found at the butt.

MSRP is $45. For more information, visit realavid.com.
