{"product_id":"vanguard-array","title":"Vanguard Array — 8-Knife Modular Folder Display — Series 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eVanguard Array — Series 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight folders on the desk. All of them visible, none of them in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vanguard Array holds 8 full-size folding knives spine-up in individual TPU-lined slots. Same footprint as the Vanguard Catch — so they stack directly, mix freely, and grow into whatever the collection needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePETG Carbon Fiber Composite Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Array body is a single piece of PETG carbon fiber composite — rigid, ultra-matte, no visible layer lines at the surface. It doesn't flex, doesn't creak, and doesn't look like something off a hobby printer. The TPU slot inserts friction-fit into each pocket and keep knives from contacting the hard shell directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft TPU Knife Slots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the 8 slots is lined with soft TPU. Knives sit spine-down against a surface that won't scratch scales, mar titanium, or leave marks on stonewashed finishes. Drop your carry in at the end of the day without thinking about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStackable Across the Full Vanguard System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Array shares its footprint with the Vanguard Catch — 9.92\" × 6.73\" across the board. Stack an Array under a Catch, run two Arrays, or build whatever configuration fits the desk. They seat securely and don't shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for High-End Folders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlots are sized for full-size production and custom folders. Each pocket is 6.14\" long and 0.99\" wide, with 1.89\" of clearance above the spine — enough for most standard and oversized folders including those with tall flippers, deep finger grooves, or prominent pocket clips. CRK, Hinderer, Microtech, Zero Tolerance — if it fits in your hand it likely fits in the Array.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vanguard Shield (Optional)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Array is available with the Vanguard Shield — a fitted carbon fiber composite lid with the MATERIUM logo debossed in matching TPU color. Keeps dust off, looks intentional, and doubles as a display surface when removed.
