REMETTE Squirrel Slip Joint Lightning Folding Knife [RMTTDPV]

A non-locking folder with a sheepsfoot edge

The Squirrel uses a slipjoint mechanism, so spring resistance holds the blade position without creating a positive lock. Its sheepsfoot profile carries a working edge beneath a downward-curving spine, making the blade shape distinct from REMETTE's pointed tanto designs. A titanium handle and clip give it a modern carrying format despite the traditional non-locking mechanism. The exact surface treatment is part of this edition; the mechanism remains important to how the knife should be handled.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.83" (72 mm) Bohler M390 stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Lightning strike anodized titanium
• Mechanism: Slip Joint
• Pocket size: 3.94" (100 mm) closed

Materials and cutting character

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

The sheepsfoot profile brings the spine down toward the point and keeps a relatively straight working edge, favoring controlled utility cutting.

Titanium gives the handle a corrosion-resistant metal structure. The color and surface treatment describe its finish; they do not change the underlying handle metal.

Slip Joint explained

A backspring resists blade movement but does not positively lock it open. Keep cutting pressure directed into the edge and avoid pressure on the spine that could start the blade folding.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
