New for 2026, the COVERT 01 from Hardcore Hardware Australia is a compact spear-point folding knife built to deliver high strength, cutting performance, and discreet deep-pocket carry with minimal weight.
The partially serrated blade is made from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel chosen for its excellent toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. A refined grind creates a versatile profile suited to both heavy cutting tasks and precise, controlled work.
The COVERT 01 ships with a firm, deliberate action that can be tuned via the Torx-adjustable pivot for faster deployment. Precision-fitted internal components ensure smooth opening and a secure lockup in both open and closed positions.
A 3D-machined G10 handle with stainless-steel liners provides a confident, secure grip in use and during carry. The knife features a liner lock with an external safety lever positioned along the spine. As the hand naturally indexes on the choils and jimping, the lock engages automatically; pulling the lever rearward disengages the lock for safe closure.
A stainless-steel pocket clip is included and can be configured for left- or right-hand, tip-down carry, improving accessibility and carry security.
