Chrome Bottle Bud – stylish EDC pocket knife for everyday use

The Chrome Bottle Bud by MTech is a practical pocket knife that stands out thanks to its elegant grey chrome finish. This EDC knife combines functionality with a sleek design, perfect for daily tasks. Featuring a droppoint blade shape made from 3Cr13 stainless steel and a mirror-polished finish, it offers a good balance between performance and ease of maintenance.

Experience from the Shogun team

During our field test, the smooth operation of the framelock stood out – even when wearing gloves. The mirror-polished blade glided effortlessly through rope, although we did notice that it needs to be resharpened regularly after intensive use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 stainless steel is a reliable choice for beginners – it retains its edge reasonably well and is easy to maintain. With a blade length of 7.62 cm, this steel performs excellently when cutting rope, food, and light wood. The droppoint shape with a plain-edge grind allows for precise work.

Grip and ease of use

Weighing 150 grams, this knife sits comfortably in the hand without feeling too heavy. The framelock locking mechanism operates intuitively and inspires confidence during use. The smooth chrome frame does require extra attention in wet conditions for optimal grip.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for beginners looking for a stylish EDC pocket knife without exceeding their budget. Collectors will also appreciate the elegant mirror-polished finish. For intensive outdoor activities or bushcraft, we recommend a heavier model with harder steel.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the stainless steel, this knife requires little maintenance – occasional cleaning and light oiling are sufficient. The grey chrome frame is scratch-resistant, although we recommend not storing it in the same pocket as your keys to protect the blade finish.
