SRM 401L-GB Folding Knife – A Practical EDC Knife for Everyday Use

The SRM 401L-GB is a compact and reliable folding knife designed for everyday carry. The blade is made of 10Cr15MoV stainless steel with a combination of satin and stonewash finishes.

The Scandi Grind bevel ensures a precise and easy-to-maintain cutting edge. The lock is a liner lock—a reliable and widely used mechanism in folding knives.

Design and Materials

The handle is made of G10—a composite of fiberglass and resin. The material is durable, wear-resistant, and grooved for a secure grip.

A blade made of 10Cr15MoV steel with a hardness of 58–60 HRC
G10 handle—durable and non-slip
Liner-lock mechanism—easy to release with just one thumb
Built-in hard steel and phosphor bronze bearings for smooth opening
TFAC Ambi-Clip Two-Position Clip – No tools required to change the position

Technological Processing of the Blade

Cryogenic Treatment—All SRM blades undergo a special cryogenic heat treatment. The result is improved edge retention, high hardness, and corrosion resistance.

Sharpening with cooling—this process preserves the hardness of the blade and ensures a longer-lasting cutting edge.

Ambi-Clip – a tool-free clip

The TFAC (Tool-Free Ambi Clip) system allows for quick and easy adjustment of the clip's position. It is equally suitable for right- and left-handed users, with no need for additional tools.

10Cr15MoV steel

A Chinese stainless steel with properties similar to VG-10. It contains vanadium for improved wear resistance and edge retention, as well as chromium and molybdenum for high corrosion resistance.

The hardness ranges from 58 to 64 HRC, depending on the heat treatment. Sharpening is of moderate difficulty.

Liner Lock – locking mechanism

A side spring inside the handle locks the blade in the open position. To release it, press to the side with your thumb—the knife can be closed with one hand, without changing your grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of steel is used for the blade of the SRM 401L-GB?

The blade is made of 10Cr15MoV—a Chinese stainless steel with properties similar to VG-10. It contains vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum, which provide good wear resistance, edge retention, and high corrosion resistance. The hardness of this model is 58–60 HRC.

What is a liner lock, and how do you release it?

The liner lock is one of the most common locking mechanisms used in folding knives. It uses a side spring inside the handle that locks the blade in place when the knife is fully opened. To release the lock, press the spring to the side with your thumb. The knife can be closed with one hand without changing your grip.

What is the G10 material used for the handle?

G10 is a composite material made from fiberglass and resin. It is extremely strong and wear-resistant. The ribbed finish on the handle prevents it from slipping in your hand. It is considered one of the most durable materials used in knives.

What is the TFAC Ambi-Clip, and why is it practical?

TFAC stands for Tool-Free Ambi Clip—a two-position belt clip that can be repositioned without any tools. It is suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Repositioning is quick and convenient, even on the go.

What is cryogenic treatment, and how does it affect the blade?

Cryogenic treatment is a special heat treatment method applied to all SRM blades. It improves edge retention, increases hardness, and makes the blade more resistant to corrosion. When combined with coolant-assisted sharpening, this results in a longer-lasting and more stable cutting edge.

What are the dimensions and weight of the SRM 401L-GB?

The blade is 83 mm long and 2.5 mm thick. The total length of the knife when open is 191 mm. It weighs 68 grams, making it lightweight and comfortable for everyday carry.

What is the bevel angle of the blade, and how does it affect sharpening?

The blade of the SRM 401L-GB features a Scandi Grind bevel. This is a flat, well-defined bevel known for its ease of maintenance and precise cutting. Sharpening 10Cr15MoV steel is moderately difficult—it does not require specialized tools, but it is recommended to use a suitable sharpening stone.
