Designed by legendary edged-weapons expert James Keating, the Hornet is a proven classic and a favorite of savvy knife users worldwide. The new Blackhawk! Hornet II Plain Edge Folding Knife continues the legacy of that timeless design by enhancing it with all-new materials, improved lock geometry, and expanded carry options. Built on a framework of CNC-machined textured G-10 handles, nested 420J stainless steel liners, and a heavy-duty liner-lock locking mechanism, the Hornet II’s blade is precision ground from AUS8A stainless steel and black Teflon® coated for a low profile and superior corrosion resistance. Its ambidextrous thumb stud and new four-position clothing clip also support lightning-fast deployment from all carry positions, making it one of the most potent tactical folding knives available.
