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.
Stonewashed Blade
A stonewashed finish enhances corrosion resistance while naturally minimizing wear over time.
Fusion Lock
The Fusion Lock returns, offering the best of both worlds—frame lock reliability with button-actuated ease.
Minimal & Clean Branding
Like all GD designs, the Sub-Caliber keeps branding subtle and hidden for the cleanest possible aesthetic.
