Kunwu Gringo Verta Lock - Carbon Fiber - DLC Elmax Blade

Elmax Verta Lock with Carbon Fiber Handles

The Gringo is Kunwu Knives' take on the modern flipper, designed for everyday carry and hard use. The Verta Lock mechanism offers a secure lockup while keeping the knife slim in the pocket. This model uses a DLC-coated Elmax blade and carbon fiber handles, making it a lightweight yet durable option for users who want a high-performance folder.

Blade

The 3.62" blade is made from Elmax steel, an Austrian powder metallurgy stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and good toughness. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating adds an extra layer of wear resistance and a sleek black finish. Elmax is a premium choice for folders, offering a balance of performance and durability for everyday tasks.

Handle

The handle is constructed from carbon fiber, a lightweight and strong material composed of thin carbon layers bonded with resin. Carbon fiber is known for its rigidity and resistance to moisture, making it ideal for knives that need to stay lightweight yet durable. The handle weighs 6.66oz, making the Gringo comfortable for extended carry.

Carry

The Verta Lock mechanism provides a secure and smooth lockup, ensuring the blade stays open during use. The pocket clip is reversible, allowing for right or left-hand carry in a tip-up position. This makes the Gringo versatile for different carrying preferences.
