This is the Golan Stratknife (Wood variant), a budget-friendly folding pocket knife from Golan Knives, a UK/Europe-focused brand that makes affordable tactical, EDC, fishing, and outdoor knives.
Golan knives are entry-level but well-regarded for the price—often described in reviews as “razor sharp out of the box,” corrosion-resistant, and solid everyday users for camping, fishing, or general carry.
- Blade: Stainless steel drop-point/spear-point shape with a hollow grind for slicing. It has a long narrow slot cutout near the ricasso (base) for style, easier cleaning, or thumb-opening assist. The blade is etched with the GOLAN logo and circular emblem. Blade length on similar Golan folders is typically ~2.9–3.1 inches (74–79 mm), with ~2–2.6 mm thickness.
- Handle: Stainless steel frame (titanium-grey finish) with a reddish-brown pakkawood (resin-stabilized wood) inlay/scale on one side. The handle is skeletonized with multiple drilled holes—including a large central circular one—for weight reduction, better grip when wet/sweaty, and a distinctive tactical look. Overall handle length is about 4.4 inches; closed knife is compact and pocket-friendly.
- Mechanism: Liner lock (very common on this Golan series) for secure one-handed use. It opens via a thumb stud or flipper tab (the blue circular accent around the pivot is a nice visual detail, probably anodized aluminum or inlay).
- Build: Lightweight yet sturdy for the price point. No fancy bearings, but smooth enough for daily use.
It stands out in Golan’s lineup for its modern, vented design and wood-in-metal aesthetic—it looks more premium than most budget folders. It’s not a high-end custom or premium steel knife (no VG-10 or S30V here), but it’s a reliable, sharp workhorse that performs great for EDC tasks, fishing, light camp chores, or as a beater knife.
If you’re into outdoor gear, Golan models like this frequently get positive feedback from UK reviewers for value and edge retention on rope, paper, or wood. Just give the blade a quick wipe after wet use since it’s basic stainless.
