Golden Buddy MTech – Striking pocket knife for everyday use

The Golden Buddy by MTech is a practical pocket knife that immediately stands out thanks to its golden aluminium housing. This EDC knife combines a droppoint blade shape made from 3Cr13 steel with a blade length of 8.9 cm. The mirror-polished finish gives the knife a luxurious appearance, making it perfect for daily use.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend camping trip, we tested this pocket knife extensively. The golden design immediately caught the attention of fellow campers. The linerlock worked reliably, even with cold fingers. The knife opened smoothly, although we did miss a thumb stud for one-handed use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel offers a good balance between sharpness and maintenance. This stainless steel cuts effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and food. The droppoint shape allows for precise work. For heavier wood processing, we recommend a harder steel, but for EDC tasks it performs well.

Grip and ease of use

The aluminium material feels solid with a weight of 150 grams. The linerlock locking mechanism secures the blade safely. In wet conditions, the smooth finish can become a bit slippery. The included pocket clip keeps the knife securely in place during transport.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Ideal for beginners looking for an affordable EDC knife with a striking design. Also suitable for collectors who appreciate unique finishes. The folded length of 11.4 cm makes it perfect for daily carry without being noticeable in your pocket.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but does require basic maintenance. Wipe the blade clean and dry after use. The mirror-polished finish shows fingerprints quickly – polishing with a soft cloth helps. Sharpen the knife regularly for optimal sharpness of the plain-edge grind.
