Our goal for the Bionic was to create a small, light weight, easy to carry and affordable EDC (Everyday Carry). The hollow ground D2 blade rides on our proprietary ball bearing pivot system making the deployment quick and easy. The CNC machined handle scales are made from air craft grade 6061 Aluminum and feature a stainless steel liner inlay which provides a strong and sturdy lock up for a lifetime. The Bionic flipper can be deployed 2 ways, using the flipper tang or using the manual opening option with the groove cut out above the grind. This knife has been brutality tested for the past 6 months and has been repetitively reliable.
