Kunwu Knives Compact Chad XT Lock Folding Knife [SX703C-TI]

The Chad’s XT Lock layout in a shorter carrying format

The Compact Chad reduces the size of the full-size Chad while retaining its XT Lock operating layout. It is for the buyer who likes a broad utility blade and external lock control but wants a shorter knife in the pocket.

Compare the actual blade and closed lengths, not just the photographs: the compact and full-size versions have a close family resemblance. Handle material and blade steel also vary between releases and are kept specific to this knife.

Opening and lock operation

A transverse bar engages the blade to hold it open. Pulling the bar back releases the blade for folding; the release sits near the pivot rather than along the cutting-edge channel.

Steel and maintenance

Clean and dry the blade after use, especially after contact with moisture or food. A suitable light protective oil helps protect exposed steel during storage; a blade coating does not cover the sharpened edge.

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.
