It features a 3.01-inch drop point blade made from 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The brushed satin finish enhances the blade’s durability while adding a refined aesthetic. Equipped with a blade flipper and a smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot, this knife ensures effortless, fast deployment when you need it most.
The framelock design provides a secure and reliable locking mechanism, giving you confidence during use. The stainless steel handles are reinforced with a brown Micarta overlay, offering a rugged yet elegant look while improving grip and comfort. A low-profile stainless steel pocket clip ensures discreet and convenient carry, making it an ideal everyday companion.

The knife’s name, Padawan, reflects its origins. Designed by Pedro Buzetti, an apprentice of renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma, the name symbolizes his growth and creativity under Ikoma’s mentorship. This debut design balances functionality with artistry, making it a reliable tool and a nod to its designer’s journey.
