2009 Overall Knife of the Year - Blade Show
We are tremendously excited because this fine new Paul Knife won the “Overall Knife of the Year” award at this year’s “Blade Show” in Atlanta GA. This prestigious award is voted by the attending knife companies and being recognized by our competitors as having the Overall Knife of the Year is very special to us. It is wonderful to have our own feelings validated regarding the quality and design attributes of this beautiful, rugged and innovative knife.
The new Paul® Defender is quick to open & close, tough and great looking. The exciting design of the Paul® Defender was a collaboration between Lone Wolf designers and Paul Poehlmann the inventor of the Paul Axiel locking mechanism. The Defender is a true “Gentlemen’s Tactical Knife” with precision fit and finish, one of the toughest locks in the world and a premium quality blade. The patented Axiel-lock makes the Defender fast to open and close with one hand. Every Defender can also be easily adjusted for right or left hand carry! The extreme strength of the patented Axial locking mechanism and the safety of its locked-open and locked-closed (safe in the pocket) blade make this lock ideal for a tactical knife. The Paul® Defender has a great looking 3.9 inch blade designed for utility and piercing with a flat ground edge for strength and ease of re-sharpening. The blade is built from premium 154CM high-carbon stainless steel that is tough and holds it cutting edge extremely well. The blade is heat-treated, tempered and cryogenically frozen to maximize it’s cutting performance and toughness. The Defender’s frame has thumb-notching just behind the blade on the top of the handle combined with its taper forward design to provide a positive grip. The handles are AAA Grade natural cocobolo hardwood with a checkered area to provide a secure grip to match its natural beauty. These great looking handles are held in place with precision screws and escutcheon cups for a classy and high-tech appearance that is sure to please any knife enthusiast. It is important to note that the Defender is totally ambidextrous and can be adapted to left hand use by simply removing the pocket clip and handles and swapping them from one side of the knife to the other converting the knife to a full-function left-handed knife. Buy two and set one up for both pockets and you can defend with either hand should the need arise. The Paul® Defender has a limited lifetime warranty and is packaged in a nice Lone Wolf gift box. The Defender® is proudly made in the USA.
