With the new Charlie Two Generation Two (Gen2), designer Dietmar Pohl is further optimizing the successful product series of minimalist and extremely resilient knives in 2024. Whether for everyday use or as an ultra-flat back-up knife in the outdoor or bushcraft sector: the new Charlie Two Gen2 covers a wide range of applications!
The modern Bowie blade and the handle of the Charlie Two Gen2 are made of six millimeter thick D2 tool steel, which gives the knife both a high degree of resilience and edge retention. The handle and blade have a black TiN coating.
CNC technology is used to elaborately carve all the details out of the deliberately flat handle of the new Charlie Gen2 series. The rounded tang and the index areas for the index finger and thumb ensure a comfortable and secure hand position. If required, the handle holes can be used for a feed-through and winding with parachute cord.
The Charlie Two Gen2 is equipped with a robust and high-quality sheath made of 2.5 mm thick Kydex®. The new, screwed belt loops made of high-strength plastic allow an even flatter and more inconspicuous carry on the body.
Another completely new feature of the Charlie Two Gen2 is the glow-in-the-dark lanyard specially developed for this model. Thanks to this technology, the Charlie Two Gen2 is easy to find even in the dark. Ideal for outdoor or bushcraft use.

Care instructions
The blade of the Charlie Two is made of D2 (1.2379) tool steel, which has enormous cutting durability, but requires a certain amount of basic care due to the chrome content of 11.8 %. Corrosion can occur in the absence of proper maintenance. For prevention, the knife should be cleaned, dried and re-oiled regularly to prevent rust and corrosion. Especially when the knife comes into contact with uncertain substances or acidic liquids or marine environment.
