Off-Grid’s Popular Elite Series Folder Gets a Magnacut Upgrade.

The Scorpion has been the staple of Off-Grid’s higher end knife series for several years now. We have been expecting a 3rd update to the Scorpion for most of this year, and it finally happened late last week.

Overall Length:8.8″
Blade Length:4″
Blade Material:Magnacut(62 HRC)
Handle Material:Titanium with carbon fiber inlays
Lock Up:Framelock

The Scorpion V3 features a few minor design changes on top of the steel upgrade. The V3 features a shorter but slightly wider pocket clip and a bit more jimping on the blade spine.

Smooth opening is expected on a high-end folding knife, and the Scorpion delivers.

This is the knife many Off-Grid and Magnacut fans have been waiting for. Off-Grid has always done a good job of making adjustments after listening to feedback on their designs. Ideally this release would have happened in late November, so everyone would have more time to consider it for the knife nerds on their shopping list, but manufacturing is never as seamless or challenge free as knife companies would like it to be.

The Scorpion V3 is currently available in greywash or blackout.
