Midgards Messer designs the Sliding Knife, which pushes boundaries in the realm of EDC designs. The mechanism allows users to have a more compact design with a larger blade. It is easily portable and the team keeps the blade larger and the handle small with a sliding mechanism which allows the blade and spine to align with one another when it is in use.
The edge of the blade rests in the handle when it is shut closed and the rest of the blade is in sight. Once it is opened, it is slightly higher and it can be pushed down so that it locks in place. All of this still ensures that it is hyper-practical and overall, it is a fairly mid-size design.
