Dropwing – Coyote Tan Folding Knife
The Dropwing – Coyote Tan is the folding evolution of the Darter platform, developed in collaboration between Travis Haley and Connor Toor. Built for professional users and serious everyday carry, it combines a field-capable blade profile with the compact convenience of a modern folder.
At the core is a 3.5 inch CPM MagnaCut blade hardened to 61–63 HRC, offering strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. A Crossbar Lock and phosphorus bronze washer system provide smooth deployment and secure lockup in harsh or debris-filled environments.
"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"
CPM MagnaCut steel balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance
0.156 in blade thickness supports slicing efficiency while maintaining structural integrity
Crossbar Lock delivers ambidextrous operation with secure lockup
Phosphorus bronze washers promote smooth action under adverse conditions
G10 handle scales provide consistent grip in wet or high-stress environments
Titanium hardware and clip maintain strength while controlling overall weight
Ensure the blade is fully locked before applying cutting pressure.
Use controlled cutting motions and avoid lateral torque.
Keep the pivot area clear of debris to maintain smooth washer action.
Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot as needed to preserve deployment performance.
The numbers, flat and honest.

HAND-BUILT TACTICAL BLADES
Started in a San Diego backyard forge. Now 30+ craftsmen building hard-use blades Under The Flag.
Toor Knives was founded by Connor Toor, who built a forge in his San Diego backyard and started hammering out blades after watching Marine Corps teammates settle for mass-produced tactical knives that weren't built for what they actually had to do. The company now employs 30+ craftsmen, engineers, machinists, and bladesmiths — many of them veterans — building tactical knives, fixed blades, folders, and axes in San Diego. "Under The Flag" isn't a slogan: it's the actual flag flying over the machine shop, and the remembrance for those who've answered the call.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
What makes CPM MagnaCut suitable for EDC use?
CPM MagnaCut offers a strong balance of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness, making it well-suited for daily carry.
Is the Dropwing ambidextrous?
Yes. The Crossbar Lock allows for ambidextrous operation.
What type of action system does it use?
The Dropwing uses a phosphorus bronze washer system for smooth, debris-tolerant deployment.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
