Retractable clip stays hidden when not in use—no hot spots, no snags, just a smooth, comfortable grip and cleaner everyday carry.
For everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts who appreciate both innovation and seamless design, the Ghostclip™ Pocket Knife is a game-changer. Launched on Kickstarter by Peak Spec, a Miami-based product design company known for its functional and beautiful tools, this project has soared past its funding goal, captivating backers with its ingeniously hidden pocket clip and premium build quality.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Ghostclip™ Modern Pocket Knife by Peak Spec.
What It Is: A meticulously designed everyday carry folding knife that reinvents the traditional pocket clip. It features a unique, patent-pending retractable clip that completely disappears into the handle when not in use, offering a smoother, more comfortable grip and a snag-free carry experience without sacrificing security or utility.
Funding Status: The campaign has been an overwhelming success, pledging over $50,000 against its modest $5,000 goal, with 36 days still remaining (as of July 9, 2025). The project will be fully funded if it reaches its goal by Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 5:53 AM PDT.
Key Features
The Revolutionary Ghostclip™: This is the defining innovation. The spring-loaded clip manually deploys with a simple press and then fully retracts into the knife's handle when not needed. This eliminates common annoyances like "hot spots" (pressure points) on your hand, snags on pockets or clothing, and scratches on other items in your pocket like phones or wallets. You get secure pocket carry with a completely clean and comfortable grip.
Premium Blade Steel Options: The Ghostclip is available with two high-performance blade steels to suit different preferences and budgets:
D2 Tool Steel (Standard): Known for its excellent edge retention and toughness, making it a reliable workhorse for daily tasks.
Böhler M390 "Super Steel" (Optional Upgrade): Offers superior corrosion resistance and exceptional edge performance, maintaining a razor-sharp edge for extended periods.
Optimized Blade Design: The knife features a versatile 2.9-inch (73mm) modified sheepsfoot blade, a robust shape ideal for a wide range of cutting tasks. The blade has a thickness of 0.098 inches (2.5mm), striking a balance between strength and slicing capability.
Secure Liner Lock Mechanism: A time-tested and reliable liner lock ensures that the blade remains securely open during use, providing confidence and safety.
Smooth Flipper Opening: The integrated flipper tab allows for quick, smooth, and satisfying one-handed blade deployment.
Ergonomic G10 Handle: The handle is crafted from durable G10 material, known for its excellent grip even when wet. It's designed to be ergonomic and comfortable in hand, contributing to the knife's sleek, minimalist aesthetic. The inner frame is made of stainless steel for structural integrity.
Compact & Lightweight for EDC:
Closed Length: 4.13 inches (105mm)
Open Length: 6.97 inches (177mm)
Overall Thickness: 11mm
Weight: A mere 2.8 ounces (79g), making it easy to carry all day.
Integrated Mini Multi-Tool: A small extension at the butt of the knife doubles as a keychain hole, a convenient pry tool, or a flat screwdriver, adding extra utility to this already versatile EDC companion.
Lifetime Warranty for Backers: Peak Spec is offering a limited lifetime warranty specifically for Kickstarter backers, covering manufacturing defects.
Color Options: Available in classic black or vibrant orange G10 handles.
