Designed by noted custom knife maker Howard Viele, the Silent Partner combines the compactness of a gentleman's pocket knife with the strength and reliability of a purpose-designed tactical tool. Built on a framework of solid stainless steel handles and textured G-10 handle slabs, its blade locks open via a rugged integral frame-lock mechanism. Its hollow-ground drop-point blade is precision machined from tough 440C stainless steel and features both an ambidextrous thumb stud and an index finger `flipper` to ensure rapid and reliable one-handed openings.
