Knafs O.C.T. Button Lock FAQ

Designed by Matthew Fitzgerald, the Knafs O.C.T. is a compact button lock folder that prioritizes utility and precise cutting with its sub-two-inch blade. This series expands on the Knafs design philosophy by offering a refined, legally-friendly option with premium aluminum handles.

What does O.C.T. stand for in this Knafs series?
O.C.T. stands for “Old College Try,” representing the first professional design from Knafs staff member Matthew Fitzgerald. The design includes personal touches like a pivot button inspired by the architecture of his college campus.
What blade steel is used for the Knafs O.C.T.?
The standard O.C.T. models use Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, while the KnifeCenter exclusive version features upgraded S35VN steel for improved edge retention. S35VN is a premium powder metallurgy steel that helps the small blade stay sharp through more tasks before needing maintenance.
Is the Knafs O.C.T. pocket clip reversible?
Yes, the deep carry pocket clip is fully reversible and comes with blockout plates to cover the unused mounting holes. The plates are not symmetrical, so a specific plate is provided for both the front and back sides to ensure a perfect fit.
What is the blade length of the Knafs O.C.T. series?
The O.C.T. features a 1.89 inch Wharncliffe blade, making it an excellent choice for users in areas with strict blade length regulations. Despite the short blade, the aluminum handle is sized to provide a secure grip for two and a half to three fingers.
Is the Knafs O.C.T. worth it for everyday carry?
The Knafs O.C.T. is a high-value choice for those needing a compact blade that does not compromise on materials or deployment action. With its aluminum construction and reliable button lock mechanism, it provides professional performance in a small, discreet package.
