SRM Knives 9201 Ambi Lock Folding Knife [SRM9201]

A Retriever-family folder with an opening cutout

SRM places the 9201 in its Retriever collection of folding outdoor knives. A blade opening cutout provides deployment purchase, with a longer handle and separate carrying clip around the folding structure. The layout is intended to cover routine utility and outdoor cutting without carrying an exposed fixed blade.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.50" D2 tool steel; satin finish
• Handle: Black G10
• Mechanism: Ambi Lock
• Pocket size: 4.5" (11.43cm) 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.

Ambi Lock explained

SRM's Ambi-lock uses a crossbar release near the pivot. Retracting the bar disengages the open-blade lock, providing a different closing interface from the liner-release channel of a conventional liner lock.

Construction details

• Clip placement: The reversible pocket clip lets you change the carrying side. That affects pocket placement; it does not by itself change the lock-release design.
