Rugged yet refined, the Messermeister Ojai Folder captures the spirit of its mountain town namesake in a knife made for everyday carry.

Messermeister’s signature offset frame and bronze titanium double-sided thumb stud ensure smooth, ambidextrous deployment, locking firmly in place with a secure liner lock. The raw canvas Micarta handle offers durability and a comfortable grip, accented by bronzed titanium hardware and a low-profile pocket clip. Finished with a vintage leather sheath made in the Netherlands, the Ojai Folder is built for a lifetime of everyday adventures. 100% Messermeister quality.
