DreamTech D3896MR – 3.27" Satin D2 Drop Point Folding Knife, Red Micarta Handle
The DreamTech D3896MR swaps G10 for red Micarta on the D3896 frame, keeping the 3.27" satin D2 drop point blade and liner lock. Micarta is a canvas-and-resin laminate that grips better as it takes on skin oil, and it warms up in the hand faster than G10.
Red Micarta makes the DreamTech D3896MR easy to spot on a workbench or in a pack, and the material takes on a broken-in patina with use rather than looking scuffed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the blade on the DreamTech D3896MR?
The DreamTech D3896MR has a 3.27" blade ground from 0.12" stock. Closed it measures 4.25" and it opens to 7.52" overall.
Is D2 good knife steel?
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for strong wear resistance and long edge retention, which is why it is a popular choice in a working D2 pocket knife. The DreamTech D3896MR runs its D2 blade at 58-60 HRC. D2 is only semi-stainless, so wipe the DreamTech D3896MR dry after wet use and give the blade a light coat of oil.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point has a spine that curves gently down to the tip, producing a strong point and a generous cutting belly. That makes the DreamTech D3896MR well suited to slicing, food prep and general utility cutting rather than fine piercing work.
How do you close the liner lock on the DreamTech D3896MR?
Push the lock bar sideways, off the back of the blade, with your thumb, then fold the blade closed while keeping your fingers clear of the edge path. The liner lock on the DreamTech D3896MR is a manual mechanism — there is no assist or spring.
What is the handle on the DreamTech D3896MR made of?
The DreamTech D3896MR uses red Micarta scales measuring 4.25". Micarta is a canvas-and-resin laminate that grips better as it picks up skin oil and develops a worn-in feel over time.
Is the DreamTech D3896MR a good EDC knife?
Yes. With a 3.27" blade, a 4.25" handle and a pocket clip, the DreamTech D3896MR sits in the size range most people carry daily. D2 blade steel holds an edge well for the price, making the DreamTech D3896MR an everyday-carry folder rather than a safe-queen collectible. Check your local blade-length laws before carrying.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D3896MR?
