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

MagnaCut Button Lock with Red Aluminum Handles

The Vertebrae is a premium button lock folder designed for tactical and hard-use applications. Its integral aluminum handle and reverse tanto blade make it ideal for users who prioritize piercing capability and durability over slicing tasks.

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. The blade's 0.140" thickness and reinforced tip provide exceptional strength for hard-use applications.

Handle

The handle is constructed from red anodized 7075 aluminum, an integral design that eliminates weak points found in traditional liners and scales. At 0.48" thick and weighing 3.46oz, it offers a substantial but balanced feel in hand. The integral construction also contributes to the knife's smooth action, supported by sealed stainless steel roller ball bearings.

Carry

The Vertebrae uses a button lock mechanism, which provides a solid lockup with a satisfying "click." The pocket clip is ambidextrous, allowing right or left hand carry in tip-up position. The knife's overall length is 8.17" when open, with a 4.83" handle length when closed.
