Sanrenmu 311L-GT Folding Knife – A Practical EDC Knife Made of 12C27 Steel

The Sanrenmu 311L-GT is a compact and reliable folding knife for everyday use. The drop-point blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel with a hardness of 58–59 HRC.

The locking mechanism is a slip joint—a simple and proven design found in traditional pocket knives. The blade opens with one hand using a thumb stud or a pin.

Handle and Clip

The handle is made of G10 polymer with a fine, non-slip texture. The material ensures a secure grip even under adverse conditions.

This model is equipped with a two-position TFAC (Tool-Free Ambi Clip) clip. The clip's position can be adjusted without tools—making it suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

Blade Technology

Cryogenic treatment—all SRM blades undergo a special cryogenic treatment to better retain their sharpness
Grinding with cooling—the process preserves the hardness and cutting performance of the blade
Corrosion resistance—Sandvik 12C27 steel is optimized for high-quality knives

Slip Joint mechanism

The spring presses against the blade and keeps it closed or open without locking it. When opening, the spring tension is overcome by a tab or pin.

Many modern slip-joint pocket knives feature a half-lock mechanism for added safety. Close the knife carefully, keeping your fingers away from the blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of locking mechanism does the Sanrenmu 311L-GT use?

The knife uses a slip joint mechanism. This is a simple design in which a tensioned spring presses against the blade and keeps it closed or open without a fixed lock. To open the knife, you must overcome the spring’s tension using a thumb stud or pin. Care must be taken when closing the knife, as the blade may close if pressure is applied in the wrong direction. Many modern models with this mechanism also include a half-stop for added safety.

What kind of steel is the blade of the 311L-GT made of?

The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel—a martensitic steel optimized for high-quality knives. It provides good edge retention, cutting edge stability, and corrosion resistance. SRM further treats the steel using cryogenic technology to achieve a hardness of 58–59 HRC. The result is a durable and long-lasting blade suitable for everyday use.

What is cryogenic treatment for SRM knives?

Cryogenic treatment is a special heat treatment process applied to all SRM blades. Through this process, the steel achieves optimal hardness, better edge retention, and higher corrosion resistance. The process is also combined with controlled sharpening with cooling, which preserves the hardness and performance characteristics of the cutting edge. As a result, the blade stays sharper for longer under normal use.

What is the handle made of, and why was G10 chosen?

The handle of the Sanrenmu 311L-GT is made of G10—a durable polymer material with a fine surface texture. This texture ensures a reliable grip even with wet hands or in adverse conditions. G10 is lightweight and durable, making the knife comfortable for everyday carry. The material is widely used in high-quality EDC knives due to its durability and resilience.

What is the TFAC clip, and how is it used?

TFAC stands for Tool-Free Ambi Clip—a two-position belt clip that can be repositioned without any tools. It allows for quick switching between a right-handed position and a left-handed position. This is especially convenient on the go or when a screwdriver isn’t available. The clip is integrated directly into the knife’s design and ensures a secure carry.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Sanrenmu 311L-GT?

The blade is 80 mm long and 2.5 mm thick. The total length of the knife when open is 190 mm. It weighs 56 grams, making it lightweight and comfortable for everyday carry. Its compact size makes it suitable for a pocket or bag without adding unnecessary weight.

Can the knife be opened with one hand?

Yes, the Sanrenmu 311L-GT can be opened with one hand. The blade features a thumb stud or pin that releases the tension of the Slip Joint spring. This makes the knife convenient in situations where your other hand is occupied. When closing the knife, it’s important to be careful and keep your fingers away from the blade.
