The Counterpart™: where utility meets style.
When legendary knifemaker Ken Onion puts pen to paper, the result is always purpose-built. The Counterpart™ is no exception—blending practical utility with smooth, modern style.
The Counterpart™ features a 12C27 steel drop point blade with a black oxide finish—offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The IKBS™ ball bearing pivot ensures smooth deployment, activated by sliding the Crossbar Lock to release the blade from the locked position.
An ambidextrous Crossbar Lock offers rock-solid security whether you’re left- or right-handed, while the gray glass-reinforced nylon handle balances toughness with featherweight carry comfort. The adjustable tip-up pocket clip keeps it riding discreetly until called to action.
This is not just a folding knife—it’s your steadfast Counterpart™ when the job demands precision, confidence, and readiness.
