DreamTech D3610CGD – 3.07" 14C28N Folding Knife, Desert Carbon Fiber & G10 Handle
The DreamTech D3610CGD pairs a 3.07" Sandvik 14C28N blade with a layered carbon fiber and G10 handle in DreamTech's desert colourway — a tan and earth-tone laminate. At 7.4" overall on a 4.33" handle, it is a compact everyday-carry folder running a genuinely good stainless steel.
14C28N is a Sandvik stainless developed with knife makers in mind: it takes a very fine edge, resists corrosion far better than tool steels like D2, and on the DreamTech D3610CGD it is hardened to 60–62 HRC — noticeably harder than the 58–60 typical of this price bracket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 14C28N good knife steel?
Yes. Sandvik 14C28N is a fine-grained stainless designed specifically for cutting tools. It takes a very keen edge, is easy to resharpen, and resists rust well — which makes the DreamTech D3610CGD a lower-maintenance choice than a D2 folder. At 60–62 HRC it also holds that edge longer than most stainless in this class.
What handle material does the DreamTech D3610CGD use?
The DreamTech D3610CGD uses a combination of carbon fiber and G10 — DreamTech lists the handle material as "Carbon Fiber + G10". Carbon fiber contributes light weight and a distinctive woven appearance, while G10 adds impact toughness and a texturable grip surface. This one is finished in DreamTech's desert colourway.
How big is the DreamTech D3610CGD?
The DreamTech D3610CGD has a 3.07" blade on a 4.33" handle, 7.4" overall when open. That is a compact everyday-carry size — comfortably under a 3.5" blade, though you should always check your local blade-length laws before carrying.
How does the liner lock on the DreamTech D3610CGD work?
A spring-tensioned steel liner inside the handle slides across the base of the blade once it is fully open, blocking it from closing. To fold the DreamTech D3610CGD, push that liner sideways with your thumb and rotate the blade shut, keeping your fingers out of the blade path.
How do you sharpen the DreamTech D3610CGD?
14C28N is one of the friendlier steels to sharpen. Ceramic or diamond stones both work well; hold roughly 20 degrees per side, work through progressively finer grits and finish on a strop. Because the steel is fine-grained, the DreamTech D3610CGD will take a very clean, keen edge with modest effort.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D3610CGD?
You can buy the DreamTech D3610CGD at Going Gear, an authorized DreamTech dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
