Toor Knives Chasm XLT Folding Knife CPM-154 Tanto Blade, Carbon Titanium Handle

At Toor Knives, their goal is to always move forward and innovate! For the last two years, they have continued to develop and fine-tune their Folding Series knives. Since first introduced in 2020, Toor has relentlessly reworked, engineered, and redeveloped them from the initial, basic designs into what they are today. Now, they are proud to announce the latest advancements in the Chasm XLT folding knife!

The Chasm was originally designed as a small footprint pocketknife with the ability to tackle heavy tasks. During the first year of production, Toor noticed an overwhelming demand for the Tanto blade variation, and with this feedback in mind, they set out to make a few substantial improvements to the design. The most notable upgrade to the Chasm XLT is the overall thickness of the blade – it has almost doubled to a whopping 0.220" thick! This allows for much more mass in the steel at the tip giving it improved strength.

Next, Toor introduced a billet titanium milled clip, which offers substantially more strength than the previous bent clips. These clips are machined from 6al-4v titanium, also with a starting thickness of over 0.200" thick, which is plenty of titanium for the clip to last a lifetime! Additionally, they've added a lockbar overtravel screw which prevents stress that could ultimately lead to lockup failures. This lockbar screw is custom machined by our talented in-house team here at Toor Knives and made from titanium like the rest of the hardware.

The Chasm XLT also offers an innovative thumb stud design with a smooth tapered finish. Toor has improved the lockup action on the knife, and the open stop position is held secure by the titanium thumb studs. To ensure maximum thread retention on the thumb studs, they've added a T8 Torx driver head to allow for tightening. Toor has also provided a G10 backspacer with a lanyard hole to add to the overall rigidity of the frame, and the top of the G10 backspacer is machined with jimping notches for extra grip in the palm. Every Chasm XLT features a Black Oxide blade finish on CPM-154 steel and textured G10 show-side scale, offered in either Stealth Gray or Carbon Black.
