The Clandestine — TSG Blades' First Folding Knife

A folding knife from TSG Blades was always going to happen. The only question was when they'd build one worth putting their name on.

The Clandestine is that knife. It's TSG's first folder, and it was built the same way the Overt and Covert were built: starting with what an operator actually needs in the field, then working backward to figure out how to put it in your pocket.

Everything the Fixed Blade Taught Us, Carried Into a Folder

The Overt and the Covert weren't built fast. Six years of real-world operational experience went into those designs, every grind angle and handle contour shaped by lessons from environments where the knife either worked or it didn't.

The Clandestine carries all of that forward into a folder.

The blade deploys fast and locks up solid with a button lock. It features a 3.25" Magnamax blade with a polished, razor-sharp edge, a 0.15" spine, and a handle that sits right in hand whether you're using it or carrying it. At 4.17" open and 3.23" closed, it's compact without feeling like something was sacrificed to get there.

Two Configurations, One Standard

The Clandestine comes in Aluminum and Titanium builds. Both run the same Magnamax blade steel. The difference is in the hardware and handle materials.

The Aluminum model uses 6061-T6 handles and tube spacers with an anodized finish, 416 stainless steel hardware, and a milled 6AL4V pocket clip. Light, tough, and built for daily carry.

The Titanium model steps up across the board. Handles in 6AL4V titanium, either raw or PVD coated, tube spacers and hardware in 6AL4V PVD, and the same milled pocket clip, also PVD coated. A raw Ti option in stonewash is also available for those who prefer a more understated look.

Both versions carry the TSG trident on the blade. (You may recognize it from the Covert's appearance in Season 2, Episode 4 of The Terminal List on Amazon Prime!).
