CLASSIC FREEDOM DLC
Heritage meets stealth.
Hemingway fished with a knife strapped to his belt. For freedom. The CLASSIC FREEDOM DLC takes that philosophy and cloaks it in shadow. Diamond-Like Carbon coating isn't just aesthetic—it's functional armor that resists corrosion, reduces friction, and eliminates glare. This is stealth freedom. Handcrafted from M390 steel with a 92mm blade, DLC-coated for ultimate protection, black G-10 scales, and full tang construction. Just 123g with Kydex sheath. Freedom, tactical.
