The idea behind the knife
Our ShorTi series in Floe design was developed with the aim of offering our uncompromising 3DTi design in an even more compact and lightweight form. Like the larger MighTi, the new ShorTi is based on the proven titanium handle of the UG-Tool “classic” TiNy. The end of the handle is slightly rounder and there are side recesses to the blade, which allow for a better pinch grip. All other features remain uncompromising and still unmatched: despite its extremely low weight of only 55 grams, the ShorTi with a drop point blade in MagnaCut is as stable as a full tang of the same length. This makes the ShorTi the perfect unobtrusive companion for everyday use (EDC) or an uncompromising backup knife with impressive stability.

The knife in detail
The handle
The ultralight and stable 3DTi handle made of titanium with the texturing in Floe pattern enables a safe handling even in sweat, wet and cold due to the uniform roughness. Together with the pronounced finger protection, this ensures maximum safety. Weighing only 30 grams, the handle allows long work without fatigue. In winter, the low mass with the poor thermal conductivity of titanium ensures that the handle is at body temperature in just a few seconds, even in wet and cold conditions, making it suitable for use in all climates. We recommend this grip for glove sizes S-XL.
The blade
The ShorTi with 90 mm droppoint blade made of MagnaCut was designed by us as a universal work knife with 2.5 mm blade thickness . The droppoint shape, with its balanced geometry, enables excellent cutting performance with the highest load capacity of the cutting bevel. The blade is ground even thinner than the TiNy blades and the flat grind extends to the spine, which further increases cutting performance. The stonewashed surface makes the blade insensitive to scratches and lowly reflective. The Ricasso provides long-term resharpenability.
