More Key Features of Your Trailhawk 288 Folding Knife
Snap-Lock Precision: Blade Backlock Opening
The blade lockback opening mechanism features a sturdy back spring that provides controlled resistance as the blade opens. The spring gradually builds tension by pulling the blade open using a nail nick. Once the blade reaches a certain point, the spring swiftly snaps it into a fully open and locked position, ensuring a secure and reliable hold.
Smooth & Secure: Blade Backlock Closing
To close the blade, press the back lock near the handle’s butt to release it. Then, with a slight push of the palm, the spring smoothly snaps the blade into the handle. This design ensures the fast and safe storage of the blade.
Strong All-Leather Sheath

Knife Care Tips for Your Knife
Always hand-wash and dry your knife to keep it sharp and in good condition. Avoid dishwashers, as high heat and strong soap can weaken materials and dull the blade. To maintain the edge, use a quick sharpener for minor touch-ups and a sharpening stone for deep maintenance.
Regularly applying 100% food-grade mineral oil prevents rust and keeps the blade working smoothly. Mineral oil also reduces friction and wear, helping knives with moving parts work correctly.
For long-term storage, thoroughly wash and dry the knife, then apply mineral oil. Wrap it in plastic and store it separately from the sheath. These steps will keep your knife in excellent condition, ready for any adventure.
