Primary on the phone plan and my phone is SOS only. All other family members on my plan have working phones. Interesting.

Made in the USA with a gate opening of 0.63 inches so probably one of the smaller ones out there. https://www.stageriggingwarehouse.com/430-62085-smc-force-tac-d-aluminum-carabiner-screw-locking-tactical-black.html
from the page: “1,000 lb. load-bearing buckle” and “PROUDLY HAND-CRAFTED IN THE USA” This is likely the closest thing you’re going to get to meeting your stated criteria.
n/m There’s a comment in the video that someone else had purchase it from Ali a year prior and the “designer” responded that it would have been “factory wholesale from China.” So at this point, it sounds like the Arena Accessories one is just a branded version of something that’s been around for longer.
This might be the original? The video is 2 years old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV33neOLbeM Website: https://www.arenaaccessories.com/Titanium-Balisong-Butterfly-Knife-Box-Cutter-Razor-Blade-Utility-Knife-with-Pocket-Clip_p_2666.html
Assuming you’re on a budget, I’d look to Kershaw first and then CRKT at Cabela’s. In particular, the Kershaw Heist. This is a fantastic ECD and a cross-bar locking knife as well. Light weight, thin, good blade shape. It’s D2 steel so semi-stainless but getting a nice patina on a blade is expected with an EDC.
Are these your only choices?
For what it’s worth, I can run 129.0.2-1 via the PortableApps interface without error.
You did the scales? Those look nice.
This is an astonishing amount of effort. The design looks fantastic. Thank you for posting the files.

So this appears to be a rip-off of the Frost Cutlery … and I can’t believe I’m writing this… Cockfighter IV.

In the examples I’ve seen, instead of the word “stainless” in gold it has the Frost logo.
edit: Ebay shows a non-serrated version available now! ;)
wild. do you remember where you got it from?
What sort of budget do you have? $50 $200 $600? I tend to live in the budget world when it comes to pocket knives and would recommend something like the Civivi Elementum II which has great utility, is not aggressive looking, and provides a ton of value for the money.
It is very easy to get overwhelmed with choices. I would say pick something from a reputable reseller, with a decent return policy, and pick something that your partner likes the look of. If you have the budget, buy a couple different ones to get a feel for what is and is not good in-hand and in-pocket.
A button lock knife is very popular. Many are well under $100. I’d recommend the CJRB Pyrite Alt for a blade shape more similar to a razor. if you want even smaller the Mini Pyrite Alt is a great 5th pocket carry. https://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_store.html?steel=AR-RPM9&style=Wharncliffe&usrsearch=pyrite&sortType=priceAs
My only real complaint is:
Anyway, these are pie-in-the-sky thoughts. the SAK is a standard by which others look to emulate for good reasons.
I have a Farmer X in green ALOX, a Camper in black ALOX, and the classic Hiker in red ABS and I’m happy with all 3. My Hiker is now my go-to for gathering fatwood in the nearby forest. That saw is perfect for the branches I’m looking for.
Jansport is excellent. I recently sent a 30-year-old bag in for warranty work which they honored at no cost to me other than shipping. A great choice.
That’s great. I was going to use a D2 Elementum this year just to see how well it does.
Looks like things are starting to come back online for some.
