The knife for places a locking knife can't go. The Sovranto is a slipjoint — no lock, the traditional mechanism carried in trouser pockets for a century — which makes it legal to carry in more places than almost anything else we sell, including under the UK's strict carry rules. It opens with a smooth glide, holds a confident half-stop, and closes with a soft, deliberate snap. People who pick it up tend to open and close it for a while.

It's made in Maniago, Italy — a town that has been making knives for generations — from a titanium handle and a CPM MagnaCut blade, the current benchmark American steel for holding an edge while resisting rust. Designed by Mike Wallace. Carry it clipped, or use the included clip cover and carry it loose like a pocket watch.

Questions we get

Why choose a knife that doesn't lock?
Simplicity and carry-anywhere legality. A slipjoint is a package-opener, an apple-slicer, a string-cutter — the knife you actually use daily. The half-stop keeps closing controlled and predictable.

What's MagnaCut?
An American steel designed specifically for knives, and the most talked-about blade steel of the last few years. It holds an edge like a high-carbon steel and resists rust like a stainless.

How does it compare to the Solstice?
The Solstice is the larger flipper with a liner lock; the Sovranto is smaller, quieter, and more traditional. If it's a gift and you're unsure, the Sovranto is the safe yes.

Will Vivront sharpen it?
Yes. We sharpen pocket knives at our Edina bench — the edge geometry is different from a kitchen knife, and it's priced as its own service. Drop it off at 4948 France Ave S or use the 24/7 dropbox.
