Vanguard Integral Breaker - Gray Flame Titanium - Super Mirror Polished Vanax Blade #9

Vanax Frame Lock with Titanium Handles

The Vanguard Integral Breaker is a premium folder built for collectors who want top-tier materials and precision fit. This is knife number nine in the series, featuring a super mirror polished blade and a gray flame titanium handle that showcases Vanguard's integral construction.

Blade

The 3.5" drop point blade is made from Vanax steel, finished to a super mirror polish. Vanax is a powder metallurgy steel known for outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it a strong choice for users who want a blade that holds up well with minimal maintenance. At .154" thick, the blade has enough presence for both fine cutting tasks and harder use.

Handle

The handle is machined from titanium with a gray flame finish, giving each piece a distinct heat-treated coloration. Titanium is lightweight yet strong and naturally corrosion resistant, and the integral build here means the handle and locking mechanism are milled from the same solid material rather than assembled from separate parts. Weight comes in at 5.15oz.

Carry

This knife uses a frame lock, where a cutout section of the titanium handle itself flexes over to lock the blade open, then releases with a push to the side. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-up carry only, and an additional Timascus pocket clip is included.
