Thornblade by MTech – A versatile pocket knife for everyday use

The Thornblade by MTech is a striking pocket knife that is perfect for EDC (everyday carry). This spring-assisted knife combines a bold red design with practical features such as a pocket clip. With its 3Cr13 steel and combo-edge blade with a drop point blade shape, it is a reliable companion for daily tasks.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip, we thoroughly tested this pocket knife. The spring-assisted opening worked smoothly, although we noticed the mechanism became a bit stiff after intensive use in dusty conditions. The ergonomic grip remained comfortable, even after prolonged use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a reliable choice for beginners – it stays reasonably sharp and is easy to sharpen. The combo-edge grind cuts smoothly through rope and cardboard, while the serrated section is handy for fibrous materials. For cutting food during a picnic, it does its job well. The etched finish gives the blade a rugged look.

Grip and ease of use

The anodised aluminium handle sits comfortably in the hand, although it can feel a bit slippery in wet conditions. The liner lock locking mechanism clicks firmly into place and inspires confidence during use. The spring-assisted opening mechanism makes one-handed opening easy and quick.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for the beginner looking for an affordable EDC pocket knife with a blade length of 8.9 cm. Also suitable for collectors who appreciate striking red designs. For intensive outdoor activities, you might consider a heavier model with premium steel.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 material requires regular maintenance – dry the knife after use and oil it monthly. It is moderately rust-resistant, so extra care is recommended when used in damp conditions. The red coating may show signs of wear with intensive use, but the blade finish generally remains intact.
