Urban EDC Nitroglide

Urban EDC Nitroglide

Toni of TNT Knives has a talent for making complex mechanical solutions look effortless. With the Nitroglide, that philosophy becomes visible in every line. Every detail serves a mechanical purpose.

This design was not sketched for looks alone – it was engineered.

Semi-Integral Construction

The semi-integral construction combines rigidity and precision. Fewer components mean fewer tolerances. Fewer tolerances result in a cleaner, more controlled action.

The reduced part count is intentional. Every component has a defined function.

No Traditional Stop Pin

One of the most distinctive design decisions is the deliberate omission of a traditional stop pin.

In the closed position, the blade tang makes controlled contact with the backspacer. In the open position, the front flipper takes on a dual role: it is not only the opening mechanism, but also a structural stop component.

When opened, the blade interfaces with the backspacer via the front flipper, allowing for a well-distributed load path in the locked position and a thoughtfully engineered force distribution.

This is not accidental – it is deliberate engineering.

Two Opening Methods

The pronounced hollow grind allows the Nitroglide to be deployed not only via the front flipper, but also with a middle-finger flick.

This secondary opening method feels intuitive and adds a dynamic layer to the knife's handling.

Dual-Row Bearings – Despite a Slim Profile

Despite its notably slim construction, the Nitroglide runs on dual-row ball bearings. This is made possible by the elimination of a traditional stop pin and the intelligent internal space management that follows.

The result is a smooth, controlled action with impressive structural stability.

Toni did not try to add more. He refined what was necessary. And that restraint defines the Nitroglide.

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
