A spring assist folder with hearts cut clean through the handle and the blade.
The hearts are not printed on. They are pierced all the way through the steel, so light comes through them and you can feel the edges under your thumb. The handle is silver with a purple wash, the blade is purple tinted with its own row of heart cutouts near the spine, and the whole thing opens with a spring assist and a hard click. It is 7 inches open with a 3 inch blade, which is a real pocket knife size rather than a keychain toy, and it carries on a pocket clip.
Why this works
- The heart cutouts go through the handle and the blade, so this reads as designed rather than decorated
- Spring assist opening, one handed, with a solid click when it locks
- 7 inches open and 3 inches of blade, which is enough knife to be useful
- Pocket clip, so it rides where you put it instead of sinking into a bag
- Plain edge, which is easier to sharpen and cleaner through tape and cord
- Purple and silver throughout, including the blade finish

Before you carry it
Knife laws are set state by state and city by city, and assisted opening knives are sometimes treated differently from a plain folder. Blade length limits vary too, and 3 inches is over the line in some cities. Check the rules where you live and anywhere you are traveling before you carry it, and check the policy of any workplace or venue you are bringing it into.
Care
Keep the blade dry and wipe it down if it gets wet, because moisture is what marks and dulls a blade over time. A drop of oil at the pivot keeps the spring assist snapping the way it should. Close it before it goes in a pocket or a bag.
Use it for
Everyday carry, opening boxes and packaging, cutting cord and tape, camping and craft work, and anyone who wants a functional knife that does not look like standard tactical gear.
FAQ
How does it open?
Spring assist. You start the blade with the thumb stud and the spring carries it the rest of the way, one handed, locking with a click.
How big is it?
7 inches overall when open, with a 3 inch blade.
Is the blade serrated?
No, it is a plain edge all the way along.
Are the hearts printed on?
No. They are cut through the metal, on both the handle and the blade.
Does it have a pocket clip?
Yes.
Is this a real knife or a novelty?
A real one. The blade is sharp and the lock holds. The hearts are the styling, not the substitute for it.
Is it legal to carry?
That depends entirely on where you are. Blade length limits and rules on assisted opening knives vary by state and city, so check your local rules before carrying it.
