The TiGo 'NanoMax' Holds an M390 Blade Inside

— December 20, 2024 — Lifestyle
The TiGo 'NanoMax' pocket knife has been created by the brand with space constraints and durability in mind to help consumers enjoy a high-performance accessory that's perfect for their everyday carry (EDC) collection. The knife is constructed with a Grade 5 (GR5) titanium frame that measures in at 2.71-inches when folded down with a total of weigh of 53-grams. The accessory is paired with an M390 steel blade that's rated as super strong, but also sharp enough to handle an array of tasks.

The TiGo 'NanoMax' pocket knife is equipped with an oblong slot to allow for easy attachment onto a keychain or lanyard to fit neatly into an enthusiast's collection. The knife is being funded as part of a Kickstarter campaign.
