About the Sub-Caliber

The Caliber was created to redefine the feel of a button-lock knife. While button locks are fun and fidget-friendly, they often lack the solid, high-end feel of a frame lock. Enter the Fusion Lock—a hybrid of both mechanisms—offering the tactile satisfaction of a frame lock with the effortless actuation of a button lock.

Now, meet the Sub-Caliber—the same Caliber DNA, but in a more compact, pocket-friendly form.

Caliber, But Smaller

With a 3.36" blade and 7.5" overall length, the Sub-Caliber shaves off about an ounce of weight, making it a lightweight yet capable daily carry at just ~3 oz.

Dimpling Returns

The highly loved dimpled texture from the Standard makes a comeback, complementing the beautifully contoured handles.

Extensive Milling

Precision internal milling helps achieve the near 3 oz weight without compromises in ergo and strength.

Never-Ending Details

The Sub-Caliber is full of refined details—you’ll always find something new to appreciate.

Centered, Always

The hollowed-out backspacer, a signature GD design, highlights the meticulous precision in assembly.

Deep Carry, Done Right

The 3D sculpted pocket clip sits deep in the pocket while functioning like a spring clip for excellent retention.

Contoured for Comfort

The fully contoured handles not only enhance the in-hand feel but also contribute to weight savings, making the Sub-Caliber feel exceptionally balanced and comfortable for extended use.
