Crypt Cutter | Dark Side Blades – Reliable pocket knife for everyday use

Hey there, if you’re looking for a sturdy pocket knife that also looks tough, then this Crypt Cutter from Dark Side Blades is definitely for you. This knife combines a robust appearance with practical functionality thanks to its assisted opening and ergonomic grip. With a blade length of 8.89 cm and a stonewashed blade finish, it’s perfect for EDC use.

Experience from the Shogun team

We took this Crypt Cutter with us for a week during various outdoor activities. What stood out most was how smoothly the assisted opening mechanism works – even with gloves on, it’s easy to open one-handed. The balance feels solid at 154 grams.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The blade is made from 3Cr13 stainless steel, a reliable steel type that offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. The drop point blade shape with a plain-edge grind cuts effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and food. The steel retains its sharpness reasonably well for normal daily use.

Grip and ease of use

The grey aluminium handle sits comfortably in the hand and provides sufficient grip, even in wet conditions. The liner lock locking mechanism secures the blade firmly during use. The assisted opening mechanism makes the knife quickly accessible – a push against the back of the blade and it opens smoothly.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This is an ideal knife for the beginner to intermediate user looking for a reliable EDC knife. Perfect for campers, hikers, or just for everyday tasks. It’s not the lightest pocket knife, but that gives it a solid feel. Collectors will appreciate the tough look of Dark Side Blades.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is fairly rust-resistant, but I recommend cleaning the knife after use and lightly oiling it for optimal lifespan. The stonewashed finish is scratch-resistant and hides signs of use well. Sharpening is easy with a regular sharpening stone.
