CRKT Gravitic Flip Manual OTF Knife Stonewash High Carbon D/E Black GRN

The CRKT Gravitic Flip Folding Knife revives a fascinating chapter of knife design and carries it straight into the modern everyday carry world. Designed by Ted Valerio of Teval Knives, this manual out-the-front knife draws inspiration from the vintage “Flip It” mechanism, a once-obscure concept that delivered surprising function through simple mechanical ingenuity. CRKT has taken that clever idea and refined it into a lightweight, pocket-friendly tool built for today’s users.

Instead of relying on springs or push-button mechanisms, the Gravitic Flip operates with a vintage-style flip insert. A quick flick sends the 3.18” dual-edge spear point blade gliding forward from the handle. Once deployed, tabs on the insert recess securely into the handle, locking the blade firmly into place for confident use. Recessed magnets inside the insert keep the blade seated when closed, creating smooth, dependable action every time you deploy or reset the knife.

At just 1.4 ounces and measuring 4.28” closed, the Gravitic Flip is remarkably lightweight and easy to carry. The mechanism delivers satisfying, tactile operation while keeping the design simple, reliable, and endlessly fidget-friendly. It’s a knife that honors inventive craftsmanship from the past while providing the convenience and performance modern users expect from their gear.
