Elementum II Button Lock
The Elementum II keeps the original model's compact outline but adds a button lock to the flipper-and-bearing action. The result is a 2.96-inch Nitro-V folder with G10 scales, a reversible deep-carry clip and a recorded $74.75 price.
Model notes
What separates this version
Its useful distinction is control layout rather than exotic materials: flipper opening, a button release that keeps fingers clear of the closing path, and a sub-three-inch blade in an established EDC shape.
What to check before buying
At 3.42 ounces and 4.1 inches closed, it is tidy rather than ultralight. The button and flipper also add moving parts and handle thickness that a simple liner-lock Elementum avoids.
These notes compare manufacturer-published specifications; they are not a claim of hands-on testing.
