Here, every detail serves the idea of reliability and convenience: from the precisely calibrated blade geometry to the ergonomic handle crafted from premium materials. This is a tool for those unwilling to compromise between aesthetics and functionality.
Two Blade Versions — Two Characters
The core of the model is a 107 mm blade inspired by the Sheepfoot shape with a straight spine, offering excellent control for precision work and safe handling. However, you can choose the version that best suits your needs:
-
Tanto version – with two cutting edges and a reinforced tip. This geometry adds versatility: the main edge handles longitudinal cuts, while the secondary edge excels at point operations where a sharp angle is crucial.
-
Plain version – a classic option with a single, perfectly straight cutting edge. The ideal choice for those who appreciate simplicity, easy sharpening, and predictable performance in everyday scenarios.
Both versions feature high grinds for effortless material penetration and are crafted from Austrian powdered steel Bohler M390. Vacuum heat treatment with cryogenic processing brings the hardness to 62 HRC, guaranteeing impressive wear resistance and long‑lasting edge retention even under heavy use.
Thoughtful Deployment System
For comfortable drawing, the knife offers two deployment methods:
-
Front flipper – for instant and dramatic one‑finger opening.
-
Unique angled opening hole on the blade – an alternative grip for those who prefer a different opening style.
Both mechanisms rely on a precision ceramic bearing pivot, ensuring exceptionally smooth and fluid blade action. The spine features textured jimping for added confidence during tasks requiring fine control.
Handle: Titanium Backbone with Carbon Accents
Despite its monolithic appearance, the Horridus handle is a carefully engineered assembly of high‑quality materials. The foundation is TC4 titanium, available in two surface finishes:
-
Beadblasting – a matte silver colour with a light, pleasant texture that is practical for daily wear.
-
Black DLC coating – a refined matte black finish with high resistance to scratches and corrosion.
Integrated into the handle are inlays of high‑grade carbon fibre, available in a striking dark‑green marble pattern. The clean, geometrically precise facets of the handle create a distinctive futuristic style, while the anatomical shape with a finger choil ensures a secure and comfortable grip.
Reliability and Everyday Convenience
The locking mechanism is the time‑tested Liner Lock – it securely locks the blade, preventing accidental folding. The deep‑carry pocket clip, engraved with the brand logo, allows for nearly invisible carry in your pocket.
With an impressive overall length of 240 mm (folded – 135 mm), the knife weighs just 150 grams. Thanks to intelligent weight reduction and lightweight materials, the Horridus remains a comfortable companion throughout the day, without weighing down your pocket.
The Bottom Line
The TuoTown Horridus is a modern, high‑tech knife where you choose the blade character yourself – Tanto or Plain. Premium steel, a ceramic bearing pivot, and an expressive handle design in titanium and carbon make this model for those who seek individuality, reliability, and style in their everyday tool.
