The Protech Knives Malibu is a manual flipper happy to join the Protech family and sports a fast and fluid, flipper deployment and button lock mechanism. This slim folder exhibits all the precision fit and finish we know and love from Protech automatics delivered in a quick operating manual folder. Great for everyday carry, discreet tactical use, or as a larger dress carry option. This reverse Tanto custom bronze version comes features a stonewashed CPM-20CV blade and textured bronze aluminum handle with mosaic pin push button.
Blade: The sub-3.5" CPM-20CV stainless steel blade comes with a rugged, heavy stonewashed finish that hides wear from use. A reverse Tanto profile provides added tip strength for powerful piercing performance with a high saber grind for balanced durability and slicing performance. Riding on a ball bearing pivot, the blade deploys fast and smooth via the integral index flipper tab.
Handle: Made of premium bronze AL alloy, the handle delivers solid heft in the hand and will develop a unique natural patina with time and handling, though slower than standard bronze. The handles have machined subtle finger grooves for optimal comfort in the hand with textured milling on the flats for excellent traction. The mosaic pin inlaid button lock mechanism is smooth, reliable, and easy to use.
