At 5.07 inches open with a 2.3-inch blade, it crosses the threshold from novelty into genuine field utility while still fitting on a keychain, clipping to a lanyard, and weighing just 1.4 ounces. The G-10 handle scales bring peel-ply texture and Torx screw-together construction to the classic Grasshopper platform — providing a non-slip grip from any hand position and field serviceability that the stainless version doesn't offer. The blade is 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel, full flat ground to a precise cutting edge that handles cordage, packaging, food preparation, and everyday field tasks with authority. No lock — the slipjoint mechanism keeps it legal everywhere, accessible to everyone, and perfectly at home as the knife that lives on a keychain permanently and handles everything that crosses its path. The Trademark Round Hole opens one-handed without a nail nick. The lanyard hole accommodates a keychain, necklace chain, or pack attachment. Available in Black, Blue, and Red G-10 — three expressions of the same exceptional instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12C27 Sandvik Steel — Full Flat Ground:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2.3-inch blade is crafted from 12C27 — a Swedish stainless steel manufactured by Sandvik with 13.5% chromium content, heat-treated for an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Full flat grinding produces a thin, consistent taper from spine to edge across the blade's full width for maximum cutting efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeel-Ply Textured G-10 Handle Scales:\u003c\/strong\u003e The G-10 fiberglass composite handle scales feature peel-ply texturing — a surface finish that provides a secure non-slip grip from any hand position including wet or gloved hands. The texture is more aggressive than smooth G-10 without being abrasive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorx Screw-Together Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The G-10 Grasshopper uses Torx screw-together handle construction — allowing precise pivot tension adjustment and field serviceability with standard Torx drivers.
