Drawing from its nautical heritage, the extended version of the knife, measuring 22 cm (8.66") when opened, was historically the sailor's tool for slicing through ropes. The blade's distinctive non-pointed shape was purposefully designed to prevent accidental injuries aboard a ship's heaving deck, while its flat, cleaver-like form ensured precise, clean cuts.

With its 11 cm handle (4.33") and ~ 119 grams / 4.2 oz in weight, this version of the London folding Knife may feel a little heavy in a pocket. Whether for practical use or as a collector's item, this folding knife stands out as a testament to timeless design and enduring function.
