It is a large one. The Synergy4 runs 5.38 inches closed with a 4 inch Nitro-V blade and sculpted G10 scales, which puts it well above typical EDC size. The four we stock split two ways: tanto or trailing point blade, and black stonewash or satin finish with matching handle color.
A 4 inch blade in a 5.38 inch closed frame is a substantial folder, more camp and outdoor knife than pocket knife. Nitro-V is a sensible steel at that size: tough, corrosion resistant, and easy to bring back on a basic stone in the field.
All four carry sculpted G10 scales, an extended tang, a lanyard hole, a pocket clip and a zippered case.
This is the real decision. The tanto versions put maximum steel behind the point and give a hard corner for scraping, at the cost of almost no belly. The trailing point versions do the opposite: a long sweeping edge that slices and skins well, with a finer, higher tip.
Choose by what you cut, not by which looks better.
Black stonewash blade with black scales, or satin blade with gray scales. The difference is the look, which the stonewash or satin answer explains. Neither finish changes the steel.
