Parascale

Built for bushcraft. Deadbolt® is an industry shifting innovation on so many levels. TJ Schwarz just uncovered one more and put it into the Parascale™ outdoor folding knife. If you’re wondering why you’ve never seen a paracord-wrapped folder before; it’s because you probably haven’t—unlike a frame lock or liner lock; Deadbolt® only impacts the pivot; making the Parascale™ a highly useful outdoor folding companion. ; ; From his bench in Boise; Idaho; TJ Schwarz set out to marry the Deadbolt® lock innovation and a highly utilitarian outdoor/survivalist knife. The Parascale™ delivers in spades with a 3.2” drop point; deep-bellied blade with a satin finish. It’s balanced by a durable glass-reinforced nylon handle wrapped in paracord—an ideal tool to always have on hand when you’re miles from anywhere. A thumb stud lights it up and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system quickens the opening action. It locks into place with Deadbolt® and will stay there—enduring incredible stress and weight—until it’s simply closed with the prominent button. ; ; It’ll have your back in the backcountry. ; ; How Deadbolt® Works; ; Steel bolts interlock with the blade when it’s deployed to yield incredible strength. A prominent button sits at the pivot point for simple; intuitive disengagement without fingers crossing the path of the blade.
