SRM Knives 221X Button Lock Black Folding Knife [SRM221XGB]

A Bowie profile with button-operated release

The 221X puts a Bowie-style blade into a folding handle with a button-operated lock. SRM combines the pronounced blade shape with sculpted G10, giving the grip a more three-dimensional contact surface than a flat slab. A pivot-end tab provides opening purchase, and the clip carries the blade covered inside the handle. Its longer folded format distinguishes it from the brand's compact utility folders.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.63" 14C28N Sandvik stainless
• Handle: Carbon fiber pattern sculpted G10
• Mechanism: Button Lock
• Pocket size: 4.88" (12.4cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

14C28N is a stainless knife steel developed around edge stability, corrosion resistance and straightforward resharpening. It is a practical choice for a knife that sees regular cutting and routine touch-ups.

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.

Button Lock explained

The external button releases the blade lock for closing. The button is a lock control; the opening method remains the one shown for this model, rather than being defined by the word “button.”
