Folding knife with D2 steel and a G10 handle – Dulotec K253

The Dulotec K253 is a lightweight and compact folding knife designed for everyday use. The handle is made of G10—a durable, wear-resistant composite material consisting of fiberglass and resin. The ribbed profile ensures a secure grip.

The blade is made of D2 tool steel with a hardness of 60 HRC. This steel contains chromium, carbon, vanadium, and manganese, making it exceptionally wear-resistant during abrasive cutting.

Key Features of the Dulotec K253

Lightweight and well-balanced—only 106.5 g
Total length 190 mm, blade 80 mm
Blade thickness: 4 mm
Locking mechanism: Liner Lock
Front Flipper-style opening—quick and one-handed

Liner Lock – a reliable locking mechanism

The Liner Lock is one of the most common locking mechanisms used in folding knives. The side spring on the inside of the handle engages automatically when the blade is fully extended and locks the blade in place. To release the blade, press the spring to the side with your thumb.

The closure can be performed with one hand, without changing your grip—a major advantage in work environments.

Front Flipper – quick and easy to open

The Front Flipper's tongue is ribbed for better grip. It protrudes from the spine of the blade and is activated by a sliding motion of the thumb. The result is a fast and controlled opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of steel is the blade of the Dulotec K253 made of?

The blade of the Dulotec K253 is made of D2 tool steel. It is characterized by high wear resistance due to the combination of chromium, carbon, vanadium, and manganese in its composition. The steel is hardened to 60 HRC, making it suitable for abrasive cutting. Knives made of D2 steel retain their sharpness longer than many other steels on the market. They are relatively easy to maintain and sharpen.

What is G10, and why is it used for handles?

G10 is a composite material made from fiberglass and resin. It is extremely strong, wear-resistant, and ranks among the most durable materials for knife handles. Its grooved profile prevents the knife from slipping in your hand, even in wet conditions. The material is lightweight and flexible, which contributes to the knife’s overall light weight. On the Dulotec K253, the G10 handle provides a reliable and comfortable grip for everyday use.

How does the Liner Lock mechanism work?

The Liner Lock is one of the most common locking mechanisms used in folding knives. Its main component is a side spring located on the inside of the handle. When the blade is fully extended, the spring slides inward and locks the blade securely in place. To release the blade, press the spring to the side with your thumb, allowing the blade to fold back into the handle. An important advantage is that the entire process can be performed with one hand, without changing your grip.

What is a Front Flipper, and how do you open the knife?

The Front Flipper is a method for opening a folding knife using a tab that protrudes from the spine of the blade. The tab is slightly ribbed for better grip during the sliding motion of the thumb. Opening the knife is quick and can be done with one hand. The Dulotec K253 uses this very system, making it convenient and practical for everyday use. The flipper’s streamlined profile does not get in the way while working.

What types of bearings are used in the Dulotec K253, and what is their function?

The built-in bearings in the Dulotec K253 are made of high-quality hardened steel and phosphor bronze. Their purpose is to ensure smooth and easy opening of the blade with every use. Thanks to these bearings, the blade is always properly centered relative to the handle. This design reduces friction and extends the life of the mechanism. The result is a reliable knife with a precise and smooth-operating opening mechanism.

How much does the Dulotec K253 weigh, and is it comfortable to carry?

The Dulotec K253 weighs only 106.5 g, making it exceptionally light for everyday carry. Its total length when open is 190 mm, and the blade is 80 mm. The dimensions are well-balanced—compact enough for easy carrying, yet large enough for most everyday tasks. The polished stainless steel liners feature cutouts, which further reduce the weight. The belt clip allows for a deep, concealed, and comfortable carry.

What is the philosophy behind the Dulotec brand, and how do they offer such competitive prices?

Dulotec focuses on an excellent price-to-quality ratio by eliminating all unnecessary costs throughout the entire supply chain—from raw materials to the consumer. For knives, this means using proven steels that are easy to source and machine, with a long-lasting edge and easy sharpening. Special attention is paid to heat treatment and precise assembly. No money is spent on unnecessary design or packaging. The result is a functional tool with high durability at an affordable price.
