The Impinda slip joint

With the exception of two Al Mar gentlemen's pocket knives, I only have lock blades. This may become my UK pocket knife?

IMPINDA, ZULU: FOLD, REPEAT

Our vision was to make a modern slip joint and to do it well. One with sleek lines and a functional blade for the outdoors. And so smooth it clocks open, but closes safer than your grandfather's jack-knife. Introducing, the Impinda: a Reeve/Harsey slip joint made to cut, fold, and repeat.

Balancing pressure

As a slip joint and non-locking knife, the most important part of the Impinda is the relationship between the blade and spring. The Impinda manages pressure at every point of contact, using a differential spring pressure. The balance creates a smoother opening, safer closing, and positive engagement in the fully-open position.
