The Skallywag Tactical Porpoise is a purpose-built everyday carry folding knife engineered for reliability, performance, and smooth, intuitive operation. Designed for users who demand a tool that’s tough enough for daily work yet refined enough for precision tasks, the Porpoise delivers exceptional cutting efficiency in a slim, lightweight package.
At the heart of the Porpoise is a 3.5-inch N690 stainless steel blade, a premium European steel chosen for its excellent edge retention, impressive corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness. Hardened to 59–61 HRC, the blade maintains a durable, consistent edge whether you're opening heavy packaging, cutting cordage, or handling detailed utility work. The blade's profile and thickness (0.10") provide a confident slicing feel without adding unnecessary bulk.
The Porpoise deploys effortlessly thanks to its bearing-driven action, offering smooth, controlled opening and easy one-handed use. Once open, the robust crossbar lock ensures secure lockup for safe, reliable performance under load. The ergonomically shaped handle, crafted from durable, textured G10, provides a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions while keeping overall weight to an ultra-light 3.4 ounces.
Both the coated aluminum backspacer and coated aluminum pocket clip deliver durability without compromising weight or balance. The knife’s slim 0.45-inch overall thickness makes it comfortable for deep-pocket carry, and the clean profile prevents snagging during daily movement.
