Some knives try to do everything. The BaseLine just does everything right. Built for the guy who carries every day and actually uses what he carries, the BaseLine Gentleman's Folder is a refined, no-nonsense EDC that punches well above its price point.
The BaseLine is brought to you by Off-Grid Gear, a division of Off-Grid Knives. Same standards, same attention to detail, built for everyday real-world use. If you know OGK, you already know what to expect. If this is your first Off-Grid, welcome to the family.
The blade is Swedish Sandvik 12C27 with a titanium nitride coating. 12C27 is a workhorse steel trusted by cutlery makers worldwide for its corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, and ability to hold a sharp edge through daily use. The TiN coating adds hardness and a clean dark finish that looks sharp without trying too hard. A gold accent pivot ring ties it together with just enough flair to turn heads without going over the top.
The textured G10 scales give you a confident grip that won't quit, and the slim profile keeps things professional. Spine jimping for control on detail work, flipper tab jimping for a clean one-handed draw, a lanyard hole for retention options, and a deep carry stainless clip that keeps the knife out of sight and out of the way. At home in the office, the city, or out in the field.
Available Finishes:
Nightfall: Full blackout. Black TiN blade, black hardware, dark G10 scales. Clean, stealthy, unified.
Field Gray: OD green G10 scales with a graywash blade. Understated, versatile, built for daily carry.


Sandvik 12C27 is Swedish stainless steel with a proven track record in premium cutlery. It resists corrosion, sharpens fast, and holds an edge through real daily use without any fuss. The titanium nitride coating lays a hard wear-resistant layer on top and gives the blade that clean dark look in both the Nightfall and Field Gray versions. The full flat grind keeps the geometry thin and slicey so it cuts efficiently through whatever you put it up against. Spine jimping runs along the top so you can choke up for precision work and actually have traction when you need it. The drop point profile gives you a strong tip and plenty of belly for general cutting tasks. This blade is built to work.

G10 is a fiberglass composite that is tough, lightweight, and impervious to moisture. The BaseLine scales have a subtle surface texture that grips your hand naturally without feeling aggressive or bulky in the pocket. The ergonomics are shaped for comfort over long carry days whether you are at a desk, on a job site, or out in the field. The gold accent pivot ring is the detail that sets this knife apart. It is a small touch but it elevates the whole look without making the knife feel flashy. Pick Nightfall for a blacked-out setup or Field Gray if you want something a little more earthy and versatile. Either way you are getting the same solid build underneath.

The BaseLine runs on caged ball bearings and the action shows it. One flick of the flipper and the blade is out, fast and crisp with a satisfying snap at the end. The frame lock drops into place with a clean, positive engagement every time. No wobble, no slop. The flipper tab is jimped so you get real traction on the draw whether you are wearing gloves or your hands are wet. This knife is built for the person who actually uses their EDC, not just admires it. The action stays smooth after months of carry and the lock holds firm under real cutting pressure. Simple, dependable, and fun to use every single day.

The BaseLine is designed to disappear in your pocket. The deep carry stainless steel clip seats the knife low in your pocket so only a sliver of the lanyard opening shows above the fabric. It stays put all day without digging into your leg, and draws cleanly when you reach for it. Stainless construction means it holds its shape and finish through years of daily use. No bending, no corrosion, no loosening up over time. If you have ever been annoyed by a knife that rides too high or a clip that gets in the way, you will appreciate how well this one was thought out.

The EDC You Will Reach for Every Morning
The BaseLine Gentleman's Folder is proof that a great everyday carry does not have to be complicated. Sandvik 12C27 steel, titanium nitride coating, textured G10 scales, a gold accent pivot ring, and a deep carry clip that actually works. It is compact enough to carry legally just about anywhere, polished enough for a professional setting, and tough enough to handle real use without flinching. This is Off-Grid Gear doing what Off-Grid Gear does. This is a knife that gets better the more you use it. Pick your finish and put it to work.
