Dead Reckon Ridgeback Integral Vertebrae - Dark Stonewashed MagnaCut - Reverse Tanto - Purple Aluminum

MagnaCut Button Lock with Aluminum Handles

The Vertebrae is a premium button lock folder designed for tactical users who prioritize strength and reliability. Its integral construction and high-quality materials make it ideal for hard use and self-defense situations.

Blade

The 3.42" reverse tanto blade uses MagnaCut steel with a dark stonewashed finish. MagnaCut is a modern powder metallurgy steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The reverse tanto shape features an angular tip optimized for piercing tasks, with a straight primary edge and minimal belly for slicing. This design excels at penetration but sacrifices some utility for cutting tasks.

Handle

Purple anodized 7075 aluminum handles are integral to the blade, creating a rigid, one-piece construction. 7075 aluminum is a high-strength alloy commonly used in aerospace applications, offering durability and lightweight performance. The handle is 4.83" long and 0.48" thick, weighing 3.46oz.

Carry

The Vertebrae uses a button lock mechanism, which secures the blade open with a spring-loaded button. The pocket clip is reversible for right or left-hand carry, with a tip-up orientation. Sealed stainless steel roller ball bearings ensure smooth opening and closing.
