The Stray Dog: A Closer Look at the Specs
Blade Steel: Bohler N690 Let’s start with the blade—the heart of any good EDC knife. The Finch Stray Dog features Bohler N690 steel, a popular choice for its impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Whether you’re slicing through packaging or tackling light outdoor tasks, this steel holds up well. It strikes the perfect balance between durability and practicality, making it ideal for daily use.
Overall Length: 7.5in | Blade Length: 3.25in | Handle Length: 4.25in With an overall length of 7.5 inches, the Stray Dog is a well-sized folder—big enough for a solid grip, but not so bulky that it feels cumbersome. The clip point styled blade measures 3.25 inches, offering a nice cutting edge that’s versatile enough for most daily jobs with flat grind and offered in satin or blackwashed finish. At 4.25 inches, the handle provides ample room for a comfortable grip, even during extended use. The ergonomic design ensures it sits perfectly in your hand, making precise cutting tasks easy and comfortable.
Knife Weight: 4.3oz At 4.3 ounces, the Finch Stray Dog strikes a perfect balance between weight and portability. It’s substantial enough to feel sturdy in the hand but light enough to slip into your pocket without adding unnecessary bulk. Whether you're carrying it all day or using it for quick tasks, the Stray Dog won’t weigh you down.
Lock Type: Stainless Steel Bolster Lock Finch Knife Co. has equipped the Stray Dog with a reliable stainless steel bolster framelock. The lockup is solid and secure, giving you confidence when using the blade. The mechanism is smooth to operate, offering an intuitive experience with every deployment and retraction. The blade is deployed with a jimped back flipper stud, easy for seamless, one hand deployment.
Handle Materials & Aesthetic Appeal
The handle materials are one of the standout features of the Finch Stray Dog, offering a range of visually appealing and durable options:
- Cream Soda Resin
- Fat Carbon Fiber Snow Fire
- Sequoia Green Micarta
Each of these handle options brings its own unique character. The Snow Fire Fat Carbon Fiber gives the Stray Dog a bold, modern look, while the Green Micarta offers a more traditional, tactical aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Cream Soda Resin gives the knife a timeless feel, with its unique, warm tones adding a touch of vintage charm.
No matter the choice, the handle is paired with a steel bolster that enhances the knife's strength and overall design. The sleek titanium pocket clip ensures that the knife rides comfortably in your pocket while adding a modern touch to its profile.
