Saga DLC

Saga DLC | Piratech®

The first elegant framelock work knife Piratech ever made. 

As always, not for different to be different but for better to seek different.

The Saga features what great framelock work knives that have: an exposed lockbar to grip for better safety while working, and a deep, long pocket clip for easy in-and-out of the pocket. Rounded spine and good enough jimping for a nice grip and comfortable use. 

The differences to make it better: 

No exposed hardware for a clean, elegant look, yet easy access to the hardware underneath for maintenance, thanks to the Magsnap system's magnetic inlay. 

All the hardware was designed to drive through the whole knife handle from the show side and screwed into the lockbar side of the titanium handle. 

Based on the "Less Is More" principle, pivot and pivot screw are two in one, and with extreme engineering and M4 screw threads, screwed into the titanium lockbar side handle without going through or increasing the thickness of the titanium, but tight enough for use. 

Long lockbar with strong tension for longer leverage to unlock the knife, yet still keep the strong lockup.

No weight is reduced inside the titanium handle for actual work, with more mass to absorb vibration; it provides a solid feel that gives confidence in use.

The milling line on the backspacer was milled with a 5D-CNC machine; the curved line symbolizes a rope that people used to tie knots to pass down stories, and it is perfectly suited to the Saga.
