7-1/2 Inch Folding Knife
The CAT 980125 is a 7-1/2 inch folding knife built for everyday carry. A 3-inch drop point blade made from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel with a sandblast finish handles cutting tasks. The red G10 composite handle provides a solid grip and all-day comfort. A stainless steel frame and liner lock keep the blade secure during use.
Compatibility check
Verify that a 3-inch blade length complies with local carry regulations before ordering. Confirm the 7-1/2 inch overall length suits your pocket or pouch dimensions. Ensure the liner lock mechanism meets your safety requirements for one-handed operation. The pocket clip attaches to standard fabric edges for accessible storage.
Upgrade considerations
This folder replaces smaller slip-joint knives that lack a locking blade or pocket clip. The 7Cr17MoV steel and G10 handle upgrade from basic carbon steel and plastic scales found on budget folders. The jump is worth it when a corrosion-resistant frame and one-handed opening become daily necessities. Buyers needing a fixed blade or multi-tool functions should look elsewhere.
