Kunwu Knives X-TAO XT Lock Folding Knife [X703T]

The Tao family with a crossbar-style operating interface

The X-Tao takes the family into Kunwu’s XT Lock configuration. Its transverse release near the pivot changes how the knife is closed compared with the frame-lock Tao, while thumb studs provide direct opening purchase.

The long cutting format and separate handle scales make this a full pocket folder rather than a small slip joint. Carbon-fiber and metal-handle editions should be compared by their actual weight and construction, not treated as interchangeable finishes.

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.
