WIXCO ~ WORTEX (WX16-C)

The Wortex: The "Tactical Smurf" of EDC.

You want a knife that disappears in your pocket until you need it? This is it.

The Wortex is a compact, lightweight EDC folder that weighs practically nothing (2.43 oz to be exact—less than a decent shot of whiskey). It features a Sky Blue Shredded Carbon Fiber handle that looks like shattered glass from the future, paired with a blacked-out blade because we like our contrast aggressive.

It’s small, it’s angry, and it flicks open with the kind of satisfying thwack that keeps you entertained during boring briefings.

The "High-Speed, Light-Drag" Specs:

• The Steel: 14C28N Sandvik Stainless. Swedish steel. It takes a wicked edge and resists corrosion. We gave it a Black Stonewash Finish so it looks battle-worn right out of the box (and hides scratches from when you inevitably use it to pry something you shouldn't).

• The Grip: Sky Blue Shredded Carbon Fiber. It’s high-tech, it’s durable, and it’s blue. It looks cool, feels great, and ensures you won't lose it on a dark floor mat.

• The Action: Ceramic Ball Bearing Pivot. Runs on bearings for an action smoother than a recruiter's promise. Deployment via Thumb Stud because classics never die.

• The Lock: Liner Lock. Keeps the blade open when you want it open, and lets you close it one-handed when you're done cutting open MREs.

• The Carry: Tip-Up Stainless Pocket Clip. Deep carry. Discreet. It weighs 2.43 oz. You won’t even know it’s there until you sit on it wrong.

The Verdict: It’s 7.1 inches of "Get Some." Perfect for the gray crayon eater who needs a daily driver that doesn't pull their pants down.
