A Compact, Lightweight Pocket Knife Built to Handle Everyday Tasks
The Tinkham™ 2.0 is a lightweight everyday carry (EDC) knife built for the tasks you encounter every day. Whether you're opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting cord at camp, or tackling quick jobs around the house, it's designed to be the knife you'll always have within reach.
Smooth one-handed opening comes naturally thanks to the redesigned blade kick, thumb disc, and stainless steel pivot bearings, making deployment quick, confident, and effortless.
