Small but mighty!
The Gnat-S XL is a typical Justin Koch design. Simply different!
The compact handle of the Gnat-S XL offers you space for two to three fingers (depending on the size of your hand). Embedded in the handle scales (choice of Micarta, orange G10 or Purple Aluminum) are two liners that press down on the blade root with two locking springs and snap tightly into place when closed or open. This creates enough retention force for the blade to be held but not locked, so the knife is 42a compliant.
The star of the show is clearly the hollow ground blade made of M390 steel: the thin tapered edge provides a lot of cutting pleasure. When closed, you will find a small hook under the lever at the root of the blade: so the Gnat-S XL can also be used as a cap lifter for an after-work beer.

Warning / Safety Notice:
Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
