Defiant 7 Alpha 2.8" Stonewash Button Lock
Defiant 7 Alpha 2.8" Stonewash Button Lock
Every blade is chosen for design integrity, materials, and execution. Nothing enters The Rickhouse without merit.
The Alpha stands as a compact automatic platform built around control, speed, and everyday carry.
Designed by Tom Krein, the Alpha carries over a decade of custom development into a production format. The result is a button-lock automatic that translates a proven design into a piece meant to be used, not set aside.
Its geometry is direct and functional. A drop point blade paired with a balanced handle creates a controlled cutting platform, while the automatic action delivers immediate deployment when needed.
3D contoured aluminum handles reduce weight while maintaining structure, giving the knife a secure, locked-in feel in hand.
Compact in size.
Built for daily use.
