Rite Edge Two-Blade Pen Folding Pocket Knife Delrin Handle

The Rite Edge Two-Blade Pen Folding Pocket Knife Delrin Handle sets a compact stainless blade set with a Delrin handle, opened with a nail nick and held shut with a slip joint.

The Pen knife pattern is built small on purpose. Its two blades are sized for fine, controlled cutting like trimming a fingernail or opening an envelope rather than field work. Delrin is a tough synthetic material that holds up to years of pocket carry without cracking or warping the way a lower-grade plastic can.

It's a knife meant to live in a pocket or purse rather than a sheath, small enough to go unnoticed until it's actually needed. Pen knives like this one trace back to a practical original use: trimming and sharpening actual quill pens before fountain and ballpoint pens existed, which is where the pattern gets its name. The two blades today handle much the same kind of light, precise cutting the original design was built for. Pen knives are sized deliberately small, which limits what they're good for but also makes them easy to carry somewhere a larger folder wouldn't fit, like a shirt pocket or a small bag. Rite Edge lists a few variations on this same Pen pattern across its catalog, generally differing in handle color or material rather than blade count or size. Explore more Traditional Knives.
