The GEO Knife Cirex by designer Fabian Hobbelen combines premium materials, practical ergonomics, and ultralight construction in a capable folding knife built for everyday carry. Designed for the outdoors, campsite, workbench, and daily utility, the Cirex offers a secure, comfortable grip while keeping overall weight remarkably low. This version pairs a rugged stonewashed M390 blade with a striking purple G10 handle, giving you a dependable cutting tool with plenty of visual character.
The 3.5-inch clip point blade is crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a high-performance powder metallurgy steel valued for excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment brings the blade to HRC 60-62 hardness, helping it maintain a reliable working edge through repeated use. The flat grind offers an effective balance of slicing performance and blade strength, while the stonewashed finish provides a rugged appearance that complements the knife's hard-working design. The clip point profile adds a useful combination of a precise tip and capable cutting edge, making the Cirex well suited for everyday utility and outdoor tasks.
The 4.5-inch handle is constructed from durable G10 and finished in a distinctive purple color. Lightweight yet strong, G10 helps keep the Cirex exceptionally portable without sacrificing the secure feel you want from a full-size folder. At 0.48 inch thick, the handle provides a substantial platform for a confident grip while maintaining a streamlined profile. Its ergonomic design helps keep the knife comfortable and controlled through a variety of cutting positions, whether you're handling routine chores or working around camp.
A crossbar lock provides secure blade retention and smooth operation, while the ambidextrous design makes the Cirex convenient for both right- and left-handed users. Bronze washers support smooth blade movement, and the 6AL4V titanium clip, pivot cap, titanium pivot collar, and screws add lightweight strength and premium detailing throughout the knife. The right-hand tip-up pocket clip keeps the Cirex secure and accessible during everyday carry.
Measuring 8.0 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, the Cirex offers impressive cutting capability while weighing only 2.95 ounces. That ultralight construction makes it an excellent choice for users who want a capable full-size folder without adding unnecessary weight to their pocket or gear.
Designed by Fabian Hobbelen and manufactured in China, the GEO Knife Cirex brings together premium M390 steel, durable G10, and titanium hardware in a refined yet rugged EDC package. With an ETA around July, it's a distinctive addition to any everyday carry rotation.
