The new [pocket knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oknife) is used by a combination of the user's thumb and friction placed on the blade, so that the knife will easily open in a sleek gliding fashion. Using precise construction, the blade weighs only 2.6 ounces with a 2.8-inch sheepsfoot made from stainless steel for a long-lasting product that is durable enough to last for years. The handle was made with a simple design for a [minimalist look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-special-companion-damast-knife-2025) and easy control.
