The B-2 Blitz pocket knife is sure to appeal to fans of [miniature EDC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana) but this [small tactical knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f2-bravo-tactical-folding-knife) actually has a lot more to offer than just an understated design. Created by B-2, this new knife follows its wildly successful B-2 Nano Blade, and features designs from the original backers of the Nano Blade. This collaborative effort ultimately led to the B-2 Blitz pocket knife which combines the [compact nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanomax) of the Nano with robust and durable EDC blade.

Drawing inspiration from the notorious B-2 Stealth Bomber military aircraft, the B-2 Blitz pocket knife is comprised of 440Carbom Black Stainless Steel. The cutting edge is split between serrated and non-serrated portions, allowing the knife to endure the toughest tasks like a full-sized pocket knife.
