3" Lockback 440C Stainless Steel – Apache Gold with Jet

The 3" Lockback has been one of Santa Fe Stoneworks’ best-selling designs since the 1980s. Designed by renowned knife designer Phil Gibbs, this historic model combines compact proportions, dependable performance, and timeless style in a pocketknife made for everyday carry. Although its engineering and manufacturing have evolved over the decades, the original concept remains unchanged: a refined, reliable knife designed to be used, appreciated, and passed from one generation to the next.Today’s stainless version features a precision CNC-machined stainless-steel frame, a durable 440 stainless-steel blade, high-grade highly polished nickel-silver bolsters, and brass washers. Its excellent opening and closing action, known in the knife industry as “walk and talk,” delivers a crisp snap as the blade locks securely open and returns firmly to the closed position. The blade is digitally precision-ground and finished with a razor-sharp edge.
