SRM Knives 255L Review – A Sleek New EDC Option

Welcome back, knife enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into a sleek and stylish new everyday carry knife from SRM Knives—the SRM 255L. If you’re a fan of practical design, quality materials, and eye-catching finishes, this might be a knife worth adding to your collection.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, be sure to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel if you enjoy knife reviews and want to stay up-to-date with the latest gear. Now, let’s jump right into it.

First Impressions: The Packaging

The SRM 255L comes in a modern, well-designed box that reflects the brand’s clean aesthetic. The box color is subtle and sleek, with SRM’s logo and branding displayed prominently in crisp, modern font on both the front and back. Inside the box, you’ll find some nice extras including a cleaning cloth, stickers, and all the essentials neatly packed to get you started.

The Knife Itself: SRM 255L Features

The SRM 255L we’re reviewing today comes with a shredded carbon fiber handle in black, giving it a lightweight yet rugged feel. The handle is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable grip and measures 4.25 inches long, providing a solid hold for most hand sizes.

While it doesn’t include a lanyard hole, it does feature a deep-carry pocket clip—though note, the clip is not reversible, so lefties might be a bit disappointed here.

Locking and Blade Details

The 255L uses SRM’s Ambi-Lock system, which is intuitive and easy to operate for both right- and left-handed users (despite the non-reversible clip). It’s smooth to engage and gives a solid sense of security during use.

As for the blade itself, it’s crafted from laminated 140Cr steel, offering a good balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is a 3.25-inch drop point with a flat grind, making it excellent for slicing tasks and general utility.

Additional highlights:

• Blade Finish: Black oxide bead blasted finish for a stealthy, low-profile look.

• Thumb Studs: Yes, for easy one-handed deployment.

• Jimping: Present on the spine for added control during precision cuts.

Overall, the knife measures 7.5 inches in total length—compact enough for everyday carry but large enough to handle most daily cutting tasks.

Variants and Availability

One thing to love about the 255L is its variety. There are 7 different variants available, giving you plenty of options to match your style or specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a different handle material or blade finish, SRM has you covered.

All variants of the SRM Knives 255L are available now on our website, so be sure to check them out if you’re interested.

Final Thoughts

The SRM 255L is a thoughtfully designed knife that blends form and function with some really attractive features—especially that carbon fiber handle and the crisp drop point blade. Whether you're a seasoned collector or looking for a new EDC option, it's definitely worth a look.
