Nitro-V Blade Introduction

Nitro-V is a nitrogen-enriched martensitic stainless steel refined to deliver an outstanding balance of extreme toughness, fine edge stability, and excellent corrosion resistance. Its fine carbide structure allows for remarkable ease of sharpening and exceptional resistance to chipping. However, its edge retention is modest when compared to high-vanadium powder metallurgy steels, meaning it requires more frequent honing under abrasive cutting tasks. It is an ideal choice for demanding applications where durability and ease of maintenance outweigh ultimate wear resistance.

Tenable Fenrir T1034V17 - Crossbar Lock Harpoon Folder

The Tenable Fenrir T1034V17 is a working harpoon folder from the Tenable Fenrir line: a Nitro-V Nitro-V blade over a Red Anodized Aluminum handle, locked by a fully ambidextrous crossbar lock. Designer Greg Schob - US Coast Guard veteran and metalworker - built the Fenrir around fidget-friendly action, chamfered ergonomics and a reversible deep-carry clip. It ranks among the most pocketable folding knives in the Tenable Knives range and a fixture of the Fenrir folding knife family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the lock ambidextrous?

Yes - the crossbar bar spans the handle and releases from either side with equal ease.

How does Nitro-V hold an edge?

At 59-61 HRC it keeps a working edge through weeks of box duty; a few passes on a ceramic rod bring it back razor sharp.

Is the handle comfortable for large hands?

Yes - the 7.89-inch frame with chamfered edges and a weight-forward bolster gives a full four-finger grip.

Does the finish chip?

The finish is a surface treatment over sound steel; it wears at the edges with honest use but never peels like paint.

Glossary of Key Terms

Nitro-V
A nitrogen-enriched martensitic stainless at 59-61 HRC: excellent toughness, fine edge stability and very easy sharpening for a working EDC edge.

Harpoon Blade
A profile whose spine rises into a pronounced hook before the tip - an aggressive, anchored point that bites deep in push cuts.

Crossbar Lock
A spring-loaded bar spanning the handle that wedges behind the blade tang - fully ambidextrous and among the strongest folder locks in production.

Rose Gold
A warm PVD-style vapor-deposited coating that adds surface hardness and corrosion protection over the steel beneath.

Anodized Aluminum
6061-series aluminum colored by a controlled oxide layer rather than paint - the color cannot chip off, only wear with honest use.

Reversible Deep Carry Clip
A low-ride pocket clip that sinks most of the handle below the pocket rim, and swaps sides for left- or right-handed carry.

Greg Schob
The US Coast Guard veteran and metalworker behind Tenable's Fenrir line, known for fidget-friendly, hard-working designs.

Tenable Fenrir T1034V17 - Who Should Buy It (and Who Should Skip It)

Who Should Buy

• EDC users who want an ambidextrous lock under $70.
• Fans of Greg Schob's fidget-friendly Fenrir architecture.
• Anyone who wants a bold rose gold and red colorway that stands out.
• Left-handed carriers tired of right-only liner locks.
• Buyers upgrading from budget steels to nitrogen-alloyed Nitro-V.

Who Should Skip

• Anyone wanting a premium steel - Nitro-V is chosen for toughness and value, not edge longevity records.
• Buyers who dislike anodized aluminum - the Fenrir line carries no Micarta or G10 variants in this color.
• Users who need a tip-down carry option - the clip ships tip-up only.
• Anyone wanting a sub-3-inch legal-folder footprint; the 3.4-3.48-inch blade exceeds UK-legal limits.
• Collectors chasing numbered limited runs - the Fenrir line is open production.

Tenable Fenrir T1034V17 - Care & Maintenance

1. Wipe the blade dry after every use - pocket sweat spots bare steel edges within days.
2. One drop of quality knife oil at the pivot monthly, then cycle the action to spread it.
3. Blow pocket lint out of the handle channel before oiling so grit never grinds in the pivot.
4. Check the lock bar contact area for lint so lockup stays tight and repeatable.
5. Sharpen on a diamond plate for carbide-rich steels, or a ceramic rod for quick touch-ups.
6. Use light, consistent strokes and finish on a leather strop for a hair-popping apex.
7. Rinse with warm water and mild soap after sticky tasks, then dry thoroughly before carry.
8. Never pry or twist the tip; folder blades are slicers first and chip under lateral load.
9. Re-torque clip and body screws periodically with the correct Torx driver.
