Like the Prankster, the Paul® Panther is a classy tactical knife that also functions as a fine utility knife without being overbearing. The handle is contoured to comfortably fit your hand and provide a positive grip. A thumb ramp on the back of the blade at the pivot enhances both control and power. Utilizing a solid stainless steel frame, the Panther is sleek and compact. The 3-1/4" blade of 154CM high carbon stainless at 59-61 Rc. is a lot of blade for such a compact knife. The checkered fiberglass-filled nylon handle scales create a tough, good looking non-slip handle and a pocket clip keeps the knife easy to locate at the top of your pocket.
The patented Paul® lock system locks the blade in both the open and closed position making it an extremely safe knife to carry. The patented axial mechanism also makes for easy one-handed opening and closing. Simply grip the button between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze, the handle will then rotate freely away from the blade into the open and locked position. Reversing this procedure will close and lock the blade. Measures 4-1/8" closed and weighs 3.3 oz. Made in the U. S. A. Suggested retail is $179.95.
