DreamTech D3618GC – 3.19" Satin D2 Drop Point Folding Knife, Camouflage G10 Handle
The DreamTech D3618GC is the camouflage G10 version of DreamTech's D3618 folder: a 3.19" satin-finished D2 drop point blade on a 4.33" handle, 7.52" overall. The blade runs thick at 0.15", which puts it at the sturdier end of the everyday-carry range.
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that holds an edge considerably longer than the budget stainless usually found at this price. Hardened to 58–60 HRC, the blade on the DreamTech D3618GC is built for sustained cutting rather than occasional light use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is D2 good knife steel?
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel with excellent wear resistance, which is why it holds an edge much longer than budget stainless. The trade-off is that it takes more effort to resharpen and it is only semi-stainless, so the blade on the DreamTech D3618GC should be wiped dry after wet or acidic use. At 58–60 HRC it is a strong value choice for an EDC folder.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point has a convex curve running from the spine down to the tip, leaving a strong tip and a long continuous belly. It is the most versatile general-purpose shape, and on the DreamTech D3618GC it handles everything from opening boxes to food prep and light outdoor work.
How big is the DreamTech D3618GC?
The DreamTech D3618GC has a 3.19" blade on a 4.33" handle, 7.52" overall when open. That is a mid-size everyday carry folder, and the 0.15" blade stock makes it noticeably more robust than a typical thin-ground EDC knife. Check your local blade-length laws before carrying.
How does the liner lock on the DreamTech D3618GC 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 D3618GC, push that liner sideways with your thumb and rotate the blade shut, keeping your fingers out of the blade path.
What is G10 and why is it used on the DreamTech D3618GC?
G10 is a laminate of fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin, compressed and cured under heat. It is light, dimensionally stable, unaffected by water and can be textured for grip. On the DreamTech D3618GC the camouflage pattern is built into the laminate layers rather than printed on, so it cannot wear or flake off.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D3618GC?
You can buy the DreamTech D3618GC at Going Gear, an authorized DreamTech dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
