The \u003cstrong\u003eDMF\u003c\/strong\u003e is the brand's flagship folder — the design that made the cover of Blade Magazine — and his take on a compact, overbuilt everyday knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.65-inch blade is a \u003cstrong\u003ereverse tanto\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eCPM S35VN\u003c\/strong\u003e, ground at a full 5.6 mm at the spine. That thickness is the point: the DMF is meant to pry, scrape and take abuse that would snap a thin-ground EDC knife, while the reverse tanto keeps a strong, fine point for detail work. S35VN gives you real edge retention with good toughness and stain resistance, and it still sharpens without drama on decent stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is OD green G-10 over a titanium frame lock, finished with dual \u003cstrong\u003ebrass inlays\u003c\/strong\u003e and a brass pivot collar. A combination overtravel stop protects the lock bar from being pushed past centre under load.
