A folding EDC knife with a Sandvik 12C27 stainless blade, a two-tone G10 handle and a back clip — built for everyday cutting and outdoor tasks.
Best for
Someone who wants a well-specced everyday folding knife for pockets, camping and general cutting.
Overview
This is Wautton’s do-everything folder. The blade is Sandvik 12C27 stainless — a steel heat- and cold-treated for a good balance of edge retention and rust resistance — and the handle is two-tone G10, a grippy, wear- and impact-resistant composite that shrugs off moisture. A safety stud both blocks accidental opening and doubles as a finger-assisted opener, and a back clip keeps it riding in a pocket or on a pack. It comes in four colourways. At $49.90 it’s a well-specced everyday knife rather than a throwaway, and a safe gift for anyone who’s into camping or just wants a reliable pocket blade.
The good
- Sandvik 12C27 stainless blade, heat/cold treated
- Grippy, durable two-tone G10 handle

- Back clip for pocket carry; four colourways
The trade-offs
- A folding lock isn’t as rigid as a fixed blade for hard tasks
- Check local laws on carrying a folding knife
- No sheath — it’s a clip-carry folder
