Vanguard Integral Breaker - Gray Flame Titanium - Super Mirror Polished Vanax Blade #8

Vanax Frame Lock with Titanium Handles

The Vanguard Integral Breaker is a premium folding knife built around an integral titanium handle construction, designed for collectors and knife enthusiasts who appreciate high-end materials and fit. This particular example features a Gray Flame finish on the titanium and a super mirror polished blade, making each piece visually distinct.

Blade

The 3.5" drop point blade is made from Vanax, a powder metallurgy steel known for outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it well suited to a mirror polished finish that will resist staining and pitting over time. At 0.154" thick, the blade has enough backbone for everyday cutting tasks while keeping the profile refined.

Handle

The handle is machined titanium with an integral construction, meaning the handle and frame lock mechanism are milled from the same solid material rather than assembled from separate liners and scales. Titanium is lightweight and naturally corrosion resistant, and here it wears a Gray Flame finish for a distinctive look. Overall weight comes in at 5.15oz.

Carry

This knife uses a frame lock, where a cutout in the titanium handle itself flexes to lock behind the blade tang, giving a secure lockup without added liners. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-up carry only, and an additional Timascus pocket clip is included.
