Product Overview
A partially serrated blade and several opening features give this folding knife a useful balance of cutting options and everyday convenience. The Rothco S&W Special Tactical Folding Knife pairs a 3.5-inch black-coated tanto blade with a rubber-coated handle, a liner lock, and a pocket clip for carrying it between tasks.
A blade with two cutting surfaces
The blade is made from 7cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, with serrations covering 40% of its edge. That combination gives you a plain-edge section for controlled cuts and a serrated section that can be useful when working through fibrous materials such as cord. For campsite chores, outdoor equipment upkeep, or general utility work, having both edge types means you can choose the section that suits the material rather than relying on a fully plain or fully serrated blade.
A black coating finishes the blade. Its compact tanto profile keeps the cutting surface within a folding format, making this an option for customers who want a utility knife they can carry in a pocket rather than on a belt sheath.
Opening, grip, and pocket carry
The thumbhole can be accessed from either side, accommodating left- or right-handed opening. An index flipper provides another way to open the blade with one hand. Once open, the liner lock holds the blade in position during use.
Jimping on the thumb ramp adds texture where your thumb rests, while the rubber-coated handle provides a textured contact surface for your hand. These details are useful for maintaining a deliberate grip during cutting tasks. The pocket clip gives the knife a dedicated attachment point for pocket carry, helping keep it accessible instead of loose among other items.

When choosing between edge styles, consider your usual tasks: this knife's partially serrated layout suits customers who want both cutting surfaces on a single blade.
