True Maar Cleaver Flipper Knife (3.5"L Blade - 9"L Open - 5.5"L Closed)
The MAAR™ knife epitomizes TRUE’s call to “Take a Firm Grip” by providing the every-day carry enthusiast with an assertive, bold and uncompromising design that succeeds where small, minimalist knives fall short. It is an oversized, yet pocketable knife that boasts heft, strength, and full grip ergonomics in a responsive, flipper design. The shape of the blade spine and handle scale is a nod to its namesake, the volcanic crater-like maar landform produced by Mother Nature’s intense heat and strength. The knife features tough D2 steel that holds a sharp edge and requires less frequent sharpening. The black oxide coating enhances the corrosion resistance and the stonewash finish provides a matte look that hides scratches and is low maintenance. The modified cleaver blade is designed to excel at cutting, slicing and chopping, yet it has as modified point for piercing that traditional cleavers lack. The broad 3.5” edge works great for common slicing tasks and the belly of the blade has a rocker design allowing it to easily rock and chop. Whether you choose the MAAR for everyday carry (EDC), general utility uses or for personal-defense applications, you’ll appreciate the versatility and the knife envy it is sure to generate as you confidently cut, slide, and chop your way through daily tasks.

The family of MAAR™ flipper knives epitomizes TRUE’s call to “Take a Firm Grip” by providing the every-day carry enthusiast with an assertive, bold, and uncompromising design that succeeds where small, minimalist knives fall short. It promises to generate a fair amount of knife envy as you confidently cut, slide, and chop your way through daily tasks.
The sturdy D2 steel and concave shape if the blade spine and scale is a nod to its namesake, the volcanic crater-like maar landform produced by Mother Nature’s intense heat and strength.
BLACK OXIDE + STONEWASH FINISH
The black oxide coating not only looks great, but it helps improve abrasion and corrosion resistance. The stonewash finish provides a matte look that hides scratches, is low maintenance and preserves its original look over time.
OPERATION
Opening the Knife
To deploy the blade, apply forceful pressure on the flipper tab.
Closing the Knife
Push the lock arm over to the side so that it clears the base of the blade. Carefully rotate the blade into the closed position

LINER LOCK
The liner lock is super strong so you can have peace of mind that the knife blade is securely deployed for your cutting tasks, but when it comes time to fold blade you can easily do so with one- hand.
2-WAY CARRY POCKET CLIP
The pocket clip helps to easily conceal the knife and the 2-position configuration allows you to carry the knife in a right-handed tip up or left- handed tip up position according to your personal preference.
(The clip is installed in the right-handed tip up position at the factory.)
