Precision Cutting for EDC and Outdoor Use
The Olight Mettle 2 Folding Knife, produced by Oknife (a member of the Olight family), features a drop-point blade made of 154CM stainless steel with a hardness of approximately 60 HRC, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for tasks like cutting, chopping, and piercing. The blade measures 73.1mm in length and 2.8mm in thickness, providing a versatile profile for various cutting tasks, though 154CM, while durable, may require occasional sharpening under heavy use. The blade's matte black titanium finish reduces glare and enhances durability, making it suitable for outdoor use, though some users note the coating can wear over time with heavy use, potentially showing scratches. The knife opens via a flipper tab or a button lock mechanism, allowing smooth one-handed deployment, and is secured by the button lock, which provides reliable safety, though some users report the lock can be stiff initially, requiring a break-in period for smoother operation. This makes the Mettle 2 a practical choice for EDC and outdoor use, though users should maintain the blade's coating and be prepared for a break-in period to ensure optimal performance.
Durable and Compact Design
The Olight Mettle 2 features an aluminum alloy handle, available in OD green or zombie green, providing a lightweight and durable grip that ensures comfort during use. The aluminum handle is non-slip and wear-resistant, offering a secure hold even in wet conditions, though some users find the grip could be more textured for extreme scenarios. The knife weighs 72g (2.54 oz), offering a balanced feel for EDC, and its total length of 169.6mm (6.68 inches) with a closed length of 96.5mm (3.80 inches) ensures a compact, pocket-friendly size. The handle includes a deep-carry pocket clip for tip-up carry, allowing discreet storage with an ambidextrous design for easy access by either hand, and a lanyard hole for alternative carry options, though some users note the clip's design can catch on pocket edges, requiring careful placement to avoid snagging. This makes the Mettle 2 a durable, compact choice for EDC and outdoor activities, though users should ensure a firm grip in wet conditions and adjust carry for secure storage.
Designed for Outdoor and EDC Use
The Olight Mettle 2 Folding Knife OD or Zombie Green Oknife for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, hikers, and EDC enthusiasts needing a reliable folding knife for everyday tasks, outdoor adventures, or emergencies. For example, its drop-point blade can handle tasks like peeling fruit or cutting materials during a hike, offering versatility for various scenarios, while the button lock ensures safety by preventing accidental closure, though some users have noted the lock's initial stiffness can make disengaging it challenging, and the aluminum handle's grip may be less secure in wet conditions if not handled carefully. The knife's 72g weight and 169.6mm length make it a manageable tool for EDC, often praised for its "stylish appearance" and "comfortable grip," fitting well in hand for daily tasks. The Mettle 2's 154CM steel and aluminum handle make it a high-quality, budget-friendly option for outdoor use, often lauded for its sharpness, smooth deployment, and excellent value, offering a balance of utility and portability, though users should be prepared for occasional maintenance of the blade coating and clip adjustments for secure carry.
