Real Steel Huginn FAQ
The Real Steel Huginn is a versatile work knife designed by Ivan Braginets featuring a highly accessible slide lock mechanism. This series balances utility and value with various handle colors and premium steel options for everyday carry or outdoor use.
What locking mechanism does the Real Steel Huginn use?
The Huginn utilizes a crossbar lock, which Real Steel refers to as a slide lock. This mechanism provides secure lockup and allows for easy one handed closing by pulling back the sliders on either side of the handle. You can find more options with this style in our collection of crossbar lock knives.
What blade steel is used in the Huginn series?
Most models in the Real Steel Huginn series feature VG-10 stainless steel with a high flat grind for efficient slicing. Select premium versions are upgraded to S35VN steel with a black DLC coating for enhanced edge retention and toughness.
Is the Real Steel Huginn pocket clip reversible?
Yes, the Huginn comes with a deep carry pocket clip that is completely reversible for tip up carry on either side. The clip is tail mounted, which allows the knife to sit low and discreetly in the pocket during daily carry.
What are the different ways to open the Huginn?
The Real Steel Huginn offers multiple deployment methods including dual thumb studs and a blade fuller. Because it uses a slide lock, the blade can also be deployed using a centrifugal flick by disengaging the lock and swinging the knife open.
Is the Real Steel Huginn a good choice for EDC?
The Huginn is an excellent choice for everyday carry due to its 3.6 inch versatile drop point blade and lightweight G10 handles. It is designed as a capable work knife that excels at both general utility tasks and finer cutting grips for camp or outdoor use.
