DreamTech D4224SBL – 3.27" D2 Folding Knife, Blue G10 Handle
The DreamTech D4224SBL is the small-frame D4224 in blue G10 — 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 D4224SBL 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 D4224SBL 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 the difference between the DreamTech D4224SBL and the D4224SD?
Handle colour only. The DreamTech D4224SBL uses solid blue G10, while the D4224SD uses denim blue — a layered blue and grey-blue laminate with a visible striped grain. Blade steel, dimensions, lock and construction are identical across the small-frame D4224 variants.
Is the DreamTech D4224SBL a good EDC pocket knife?
Yes. At 3.27" of blade and 4.25" closed, the DreamTech D4224SBL 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. Check your local blade-length laws before carrying.
How does the liner lock on the DreamTech D4224SBL 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 D4224SBL, 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 D4224SBL?
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 D4224SBL regularly is much easier than restoring one that has been left blunt.
Where can I buy the DreamTech D4224SBL?
You can buy the DreamTech D4224SBL at Going Gear, an authorized DreamTech dealer. Going Gear has specialized in knives, flashlights and everyday carry gear since 2009 and ships from Georgia.
