Jacksonville, Alabama - BLACKHAWK®, a trusted name in duty-grade equipment for military and law enforcement professionals, enters the automatic folding knife category with the SONAR™ Push Button Auto Modified Drop Point.
A tactical-oriented folder, the SONAR is sized for everyday carry yet is designed for fast retrieval and lightning-quick one-hand deployment.
Built on a lightweight aluminum handle foundation hosting a clean, ergonomic profile with robust traction grooves, the SONAR utilizes a pushbutton opener and button lock system. To engage, simply slide the button lock to the open position and depress the push button. The blade automatically opens to a secure lockup. For safe, reliable carry, close the blade and engage the button lock.
The 3.5-inch blade is constructed of D2 steel, known for its high wear resistance and edge retention, and features a modified drop point design suited for a broad range of cutting tasks. Consumers can choose between a plain edge or a plain/partially serrated edge profile.
While the SONAR is set up for right-hand deployment, the folder includes a sturdy pocket clip that can be configured for left- or right-hand tip-up carry. Whichever carry style you choose, the light, 4 ounce weight and 4.5-inch closed length make this an ideal choice for EDC use or to stow in your pack.
