New Knife - SRM Twin

This may very well be the best-looking knife SRM has ever made. At least for those who appreciate the dagger format, that is. It doesn't get much more streamlined than this in the world of folding knives.

The model is called Twin and has the model designation 251MB, with the addition of GB for this version, with a dark blade and laminated handle sides.

Twin is currently available in four versions. In addition to this version, the knife is available in another striking combination with a completely black blade and a white G10 handle. In addition, there is also multi-colored G10 and, not least, Micarta.

SRM 251MB-GB Twin

This knife is 178 mm long overall, and the handle is 101 mm long. It is a real lightweight, and both the materials contribute to this, but not least the thin, slender blade. The weight is only 70 g.

Twin boasts a single-sided, sharpened dagger blade that is 76 mm long and 2.5 mm thick. The steel used is N690. The dark surface is a titanium coating.

The handle sides, found on the outside of a heavily drilled-out steel frame, are made of a laminate with G10/carbon fibre in this case. More unique is the opening method, or at least one of them. You can open the knife using the lock, as it is a "cross bar lock" which in SRM's version is called Ambi Lock. A technique that they incidentally master better than most. If the locking bolt is pulled back, the blade swings freely and can thus be folded both out and in. Something that facilitates the smooth action is, of course, ceramic ball bearings.

A more streamlined knife is hard to find. Elegant was the word!

But the main method of opening the knife is the most hidden and one of the most effective "front flippers" I've come across. Just slide your thumb or index finger over the top of the handle, and the blade flies out.

The package is rounded off with a wire clip that works great.

As a dagger nut like me, this is a "no-brainer", a model I just had to have. Especially when it's as elegant as it is. A review will be coming soon.
