EIKONIC Fairwind Liner Lock Black Folding Knife [EKC220BB]

A compact folder with a pronounced working curve

The Fairwind puts a short drop-point blade into a gently curved handle. The sweep of the cutting edge provides a useful belly for slicing, while the lower handle contour gives the grip a defined front. Thumb studs provide manual opening access without adding a rear flipper tab.

The compact folded dimensions make it a smaller carrying choice than the longer Dromas. A liner lock supports the blade during use, and a separate clip supplies the carrying attachment.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.75" D2 tool steel; black PVD coated
• Handle: Black G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 3.88" (9.86cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

After cutting, clean and dry the blade before storage. A light protective oil is particularly useful for this steel when the knife will be exposed to moisture or left unused for a while.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.
