AN AMERICAN-MADE FOLDER TO LAST A LIFETIME: “Esto Perpetua, ” or “let it be forever, ” is the state motto of Idaho—and it’s where this heavy duty EDC knife gets its name. Designed by Idaho-based knife maker TJ Schwarz and made by Millet Knives, this American-made folder is built to take on anything. If the locking mechanism looks familiar, it should; developed by McHenry and Williams, this style of lock has been a key component of Bench made knives over the last two decades. That’s because it’s widely recognized as the strongest and safest locking mechanism there is, which is crucial to folders as the lock is the most common point of failure. The blade is made from premium Nitro-V: a nitrogen-enriched steel with excellent edge retention, high hardness, and extreme corrosion resistance. For a secure grip, there’s a smooth G-10 handle in stealthy gray and a removable tip-up clip for righties and lefties. THE STRONGEST PERPETUA YET: After our initial launch of the Perpetua, we received some excellent feedback, and we've incorporated your ideas into this version of the knife. Among the key additions on this round, we've strengthened both the liners and clip, which are now made from hardened 400 series steel for added durability. We've also added a new thumb relief near the thumb stud, making it easier to open the knife than before. Finally, we've increased the pivot screw head diameter for improved lateral strength and a more balanced look.
