Krate Tactical Jade G10 OTF Knife

The Krate Tactical Jade G10 OTF deploys a 3 1/4-inch D2 steel single-edge blade with a thumb slide and runs one-handed for fast access when the support hand is occupied. Built around a contoured Aluminum Alloy and G10 handle in jade with red hardware, it weighs 100 grams and carries 5 inches closed for serious professionals who need a reliable automatic in reach.

Why It Matters in the Field

An OTF earns its place when seconds count. The Jade G10 deploys without taking the support hand off a weapon, a steering wheel, or a casualty, and the dual-action mechanism returns the blade to housed position on the same slide. The 3 1/4-inch single-edge blade handles the full range of EDC and duty cuts, and the ceramic glass breaker turns the same tool into a vehicle egress option without adding a second piece of kit to the belt.

For LE and military professionals carrying daily, the deep carry clip keeps the knife concealed under a duty shirt or civilian cover garment, and the 100-gram weight rides light in the pocket.

FAQ

Is the Jade G10 OTF legal where I am?

OTF and automatic knife legality varies by state and locality. The customer is responsible for verifying state, county, and municipal laws before ordering. Active-duty military and LE personnel are typically exempt from most automatic knife restrictions.

Does it ship to APO/FPO addresses?

Yes. tacticaledge.com ships free to all APO and FPO addresses. Automatic knives may carry additional shipping restrictions overseas; reach out before ordering if you have questions.

How does D2 steel hold up against stainless?

D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel hardened to 58HRC on this blade. It holds an edge longer than standard stainless under hard use and resists corrosion well, which is why it shows up across duty and EDC blades at this tier.

Can I deploy it one-handed under stress?

Yes. The thumb slide handles both deployment and retraction, so closing the blade does not require a separate button or two-handed manipulation.

How does the blade compare to a tanto in the same line?

The Jade G10 runs a 3 1/4-inch single-edge blade for general utility and EDC. The Barracuda and Ranger run tantos in the same line for breach cutting and hard-material work. The Jade is the right choice if you want a balanced everyday cutter rather than a dedicated rescue or penetration blade.

How heavy is it in the pocket?

100 grams, with a closed length of 5 inches. It rides light enough for daily carry and conceals well under cover garments.

What does the warranty cover?

Krate Tactical backs the knife with a lifetime warranty, excluding loss or theft.

Is the included sheath MOLLE-compatible?

The included carry option is a nylon sheath, not MOLLE-cut. For chest rig or plate carrier mounting, pair the knife with an aftermarket MOLLE-compatible sheath.
