The Vehement Mongrel is the first folding knife from Vehement Knives, built after years of planning and countless requests from fans. Made in the USA to Vehement's exacting standards, it is a rugged, dependable everyday carry folder ready for real work, and it is available exclusively at DLT. It carries the same no-nonsense philosophy as the shop's fixed blades, just in a package that rides in your pocket.
A snappy flipper sends the blade out smooth and fast, and a beefy titanium frame lock holds it securely during use. The frame lock design keeps the knife simple and strong, and the lockup inspires confidence for hard cutting. Our guide to knife lock types explains why frame locks are a favorite on premium folders.
The Mongrel runs a 3.375 inch clip point in CPM S45VN on .125 inch stock, 7.875 inches overall. S45VN holds a keen edge through long days of use, resists corrosion, and sharpens more easily than many premium powder steels. Blades come tumbled or PVD coated. Our comparison of every major knife steel shows where S45VN fits.
Full titanium scales come in tumbled, PVD, and blue or bronze anodized finishes, some with a brushed bolster. Hardware options include brass, copper, flamed, and PVD, so you can build a Mongrel that's all your own. The combinations make each one feel closer to a custom than a production folder. At 4.5 ounces it carries comfortably, with a tip-up pocket clip for right-hand carry.
The Mongrel brings the same fit and finish as Vehement's fixed blades to a pocket folder, backed by Vehement's unconditional warranty. Batches sell quickly, so grab one when you see a configuration you like. If you prefer a fixed blade, see the Vehement Foreman, or browse more folding knives.
