DreamTech D4224SB – 3.27" D2 Folding Knife, Black G10 Handle
The DreamTech D4224SB is the small-frame, black G10 version of DreamTech's D4224 platform — the pocket-clip size. A 3.27" D2 tool steel blade on a 4.25" handle gives 7.52" overall, which is enough knife for real work while still disappearing into a front pocket.
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that holds an edge considerably longer than the budget stainless steels usually found at this price. Hardened to 58–60 HRC, the blade on the DreamTech D4224SB is built for daily 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 D4224SB should be wiped dry after wet or acidic use. At 58–60 HRC it is a strong value choice for an EDC folder.
Is the DreamTech D4224SB a good EDC pocket knife?
Yes. At 3.27" of blade and 4.25" closed, the DreamTech D4224SB sits right in the sweet spot for everyday carry — long enough for boxes, cordage, food and general utility work, short enough to carry comfortably clipped in a pocket, and legal to carry in many places where a 4" blade is not. Check your local blade-length laws before carrying.
How does the liner lock on the DreamTech D4224SB 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 D4224SB, 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 D4224SB?
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 — which is why the black G10 scales on the DreamTech D4224SB stay secure in wet or gloved hands and will not swell, rot or crack.
How do you sharpen the DreamTech D4224SB?
Because D2 is wear-resistant, diamond or ceramic stones work far better than soft natural stones. Keep a consistent angle of roughly 20 degrees per side, work through progressively finer grits, and finish by stropping. Maintaining the edge on the DreamTech D4224SB regularly is much easier than restoring one that has been left blunt.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D4224SB?
You can buy the DreamTech D4224SB at Going Gear, an authorized DreamTech dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
