You might think that you need a large knife to take on large tasks, but that’s not always the case. Size isn’t everything, and with the right design and build quality, even a compact folding knife can do the trick. Take the upcoming Slinger by StatGear as an example. With its beefy tool steel blade and overbuilt handle, the Slinger is built tough to deal with hard use and the biggest of your EDC tasks. The design inspires confidence while still remaining compact and lightweight in your pockets, making it a great choice for everyday carry.
The highlight of the Slinger’s design is its stout, modified drop-point blade. Its unique design with its combination hollow-ground straight-edge, curved slicing belly, and sharp point makes for immense versatility, despite it being only 2” long. And since it’s made out of venerable D2 tool steel, the Slinger’s blade features excellent edge retention and the ability to take some abuse when the situation calls for it. The strength of the Slinger’s blade is matched with the ergonomic stainless steel handle that’s shaped to afford you a proper grip on the knife during use despite its smaller 3” size. The handle also features internal ball bearings at the pivot point, making the Slinger’s flipper opening smooth and easy to actuate with one hand. You can be sure the Slinger’s blade will stay open when you’re using it thanks to its frame lock mechanism. When you’re ready to put it way, it has a skeletonized tip-down stainless steel pocket clip for your convenience.
The StatGear Slinger is available in three beautiful colorways: one with a stonewashed blade and a blue handle with gold toned hardware, another with a grey handle and blue hardware, and a more tactical-leaning all-black edition inclusive of the blade. Its initial run is being crowdfunded by StatGear, and they have a long history of designing and delivering quality EDC knives this way.
The Slinger itself is born out of the success of StatGear’s Pocket Samurai and Ausus crowdfunded knife campaigns. It sits between the two, delivering premium construction qualities and high performance at a size that isn’t too big or too small for you to get things done. Secure one for yourself now by making a pledge with StatGear on the Slinger’s Kickstarter page at the link below. Rewards are set to ship in early December just in time to make a great gift for the holiday season.
