Kunwu Knives S-Tao II Frame Lock DLC Folding Knife [S703L-R2]

A textured sheepsfoot frame lock

The S-Tao II combines a lowered sheepsfoot point with a contoured, textured titanium handle. The profile gives the forward edge a useful role in controlled slicing, while the grip’s shaping leaves a different feel from flat metal scales.

The frame-lock release and opening cutout keep its operating interfaces distinct. Its handle texture, blade finish and steel are part of this generation’s specification rather than features borrowed from the original Tao.

Opening and lock operation

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.

Handle construction

Titanium provides a corrosion-resistant metal structure. Anodizing and surface machining change its appearance and contact texture; they are different treatments from adding a separate grip scale or inlay.
