Rainbow II Skeletonized Folding Knife with Spectrum Finish
Design and Construction
The foundation of the knife is a blade made of 420 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. You will find a thumb stud on the blade, allowing you to open the knife comfortably and quickly with one hand. For a secure grip, the spine of the blade features jimping (grooves) where you can rest your thumb during forceful cutting.
The most interesting part, however, is the handle. It is made of steel and is skeletonized—lightened with large circular holes. This solution not only reduces the weight of the knife but also reveals the inner surfaces with a rainbow "spectrum finish" that contrasts with the silver surface of the scales. Safety is ensured by a Liner Lock mechanism, which firmly secures the blade in the open position. On the back, there is a sturdy steel clip for pocket or belt carry.

Modern Trends in Knifemaking
This type of knife reflects the modern trend of "skeletonization." Originally, holes were drilled into the handles of racing and tactical knives purely to reduce weight so that the soldier or athlete would carry as little load as possible. Today, this practical modification has become a distinct aesthetic element. The rainbow finish you see on the edges is often achieved through special coatings (e.g., titanium-based) that give the steel not only colour but also higher surface resistance. The knife thus follows the tradition of personalized tools intended to express the owner's personality.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the Rainbow II knife serves you for a long time and the mechanism operates smoothly, follow these principles:
- Cleanliness: Thanks to the open handle construction, the knife is easy to clean. Dust and lint from your pocket can simply be blown out or rinsed with water, followed by thorough drying.
- Lubrication: Occasionally apply a drop of oil to the pivot (the central screw) around which the blade rotates. This ensures smooth action when opening.
- Sharpening: 420 steel is relatively soft and tough, which means it is very easy to sharpen. A common whetstone or pocket sharpener will suffice.
Safety Warning
The knife is equipped with a Liner Lock safety. Before use, always visually ensure that the lock bar has engaged under the blade tang and is securely holding it. The knife is a cutting tool, not a pry bar—do not use the tip of the blade for prying, as it could break.
For maintaining the edge, I recommend purchasing a quality sharpening set or a pocket stone that you can carry with you at all times.
