Overview
Metal front to back, the Pacific HC900 knife measures about 4.1 inches with both blade and handle built from metal. No blade steel type, lock style or seller description is provided beyond material and length.
An all-metal build, handle and blade alike, generally trades some weight savings for a knife that will not crack or wear the way a plastic or wood handle can over time. At about 4.1 inches, the listed length likely covers either the blade or the closed knife, though the data does not say which.
- All-metal blade and handle
- About 4.1 inch length
- Pacific brand
- Tools > Knifes category
Who it's for
Fits buyers who want a simple, all-metal knife under the Pacific name for everyday carry or light utility use. Not the pick for anyone who needs a documented blade steel or a confirmed blade length before buying.
Pros and cons
- All-metal build resists cracking and moisture damage
- Compact size suits light, everyday cutting tasks
- Blade steel type not specified
- Unclear whether the listed length is blade or overall
- No lock style or description provided
Performance notes
An all-metal construction generally means the handle will not chip or absorb moisture the way wood or plastic handles can, at the cost of a colder, harder grip in use. At about 4.1 inches overall, this reads as a compact knife suited to light cutting tasks rather than heavy duty work. Without a stated blade steel, edge retention through repeated use is not confirmed here.
