In addition to the aluminum and G10 model, we've also introduced a Micarta version—a direct response to community feedback and strong demand for more Micarta options. Evolving the Corgi V with a 2.95" blade and robust Vanchor Lock®, this version upgrades the handle to a functional frag pattern micarta for superior grip and comfort.   Minimalist Design We have elevated the beloved Corgi V to feature a robust 2.95" Böhler N690 drop-point blade. Böhler N690 steel, produced in Austria, is a well-field-tested stainless steel known for its balanced properties, making it suitable for everyday carry. With a significant chromium content, N690 offers good corrosion resistance, which is beneficial for outdoor use. The addition of vanadium and molybdenum enhances its edge retention and toughness, allowing the blade to maintain sharpness during different tasks. This combination of features makes it a practical choice for users who value low-maintenance performance without sacrificing durability. The Corgi V 295 is designed to maintain an optimal blade-to-handle ratio of nearly 1:1, ensuring comfortable ergonomics and handling. The dual jimping on the blade allows for different grip styles, enhancing control and precision during use. Equipped with Micarta scales and a reversible wire clip, the Corgi V 295 is truly ambidextrous, accommodating both left- and right-handed users for added versatility. Additionally, the knife features a 180° blade rotation mechanism, allowing for a smooth folding action that keeps the profile sleek and non-threatening when closed.   Fun Ways to Open Just like its little brother, the Corgi V 295 offers multiple opening options: · A front flipper for intuitive, fast action · The innovative wheeler mechanism, inspired by lighter rollers, with a deeply jimped wheel for satisfying control Each opening method delivers that signature "click" that makes the Corgi family so addictive to use.   Solid as Ever: The Vanchor Lock® At its heart lies the patented Vanchor Lock® system—paired with larger bearings and a fail-safe design. Its magnetically recessed button prevents accidental deployment while ensuring smooth lockup and disengagement. This mechanism is as solid as it is fidget-friendly.
