Dark Side Blades Dragon Stillo | SHOGUN

Red Dragon Stillo – Stylish spring-assisted pocket knife for everyday use

This striking pocket knife from Dark Side Blades combines functionality with a unique appearance. With its 3Cr13 stainless steel blade of 10 cm and red accents, this knife is perfect for EDC use. The spearpoint blade shape and stonewashed finish give it a robust look.

Experience from the Shogun team

During our test, the smooth spring-assisted opening mechanism immediately stood out. The balance feels good for daily tasks. In cold conditions, the mechanism remained reliable, although we noticed that the red finish is sensitive to intensive use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a solid choice for beginners – it holds its edge reasonably well and is easy to sharpen. This pocket knife cuts effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and food. The plain-edge grind with spearpoint shape makes it versatile in use. The stonewashed finish effectively masks signs of use.

Grip and ease of use

The aluminium handle with steel accents offers a comfortable grip. The linerlock locking mechanism clicks securely into place and is one-handed to open thanks to the spring-assisted mechanism. At 181 grams, the knife feels substantial without being heavy.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Ideal for the beginning EDC user looking for a reliable knife with character. Collectors of unique designs will appreciate the striking red design. For intensive outdoor activities or bushcraft, we recommend a knife with harder steel.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance – dry the knife after use and oil it monthly. Although it is reasonably rust-resistant, it is best to avoid saltwater environments. The stonewashed finish helps to hide small scratches.
