Tern - PlainEdge
The non-locking Tern folder’s blade is held in the open position during cutting by a notched-joint at the knife’s pivot. When closing the blade, the notch produces resistance functionally similar to a traditional slip-joint penknife. A deep finger choil jogs the index finger into position on the bottom of the blade directly under the thumb. Placing the index finger in the choil, the finger acts as a stop, inhibiting the blade from closing when cutting and allows the user to choke-up closer to the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity.
