The GEO Knife Cirex by designer Fabian Hobbelen combines high-performance materials, practical ergonomics, and ultralight construction in a capable folding knife designed for everyday carry. Built for the outdoors, campsite, workbench, and daily utility, the Cirex offers a secure, comfortable grip and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. This version pairs a rugged stonewashed M390 blade with a vibrant Tiffany Blue G10 handle, creating an EDC that's both functional and distinctive.
The 3.5-inch clip point blade is crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel known 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 dependable working edge through repeated use. The flat grind provides a practical balance of slicing performance and blade strength, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged appearance that can handle the character that comes with regular use. The clip point design offers a precise tip and useful cutting edge, making it versatile for everyday utility tasks and outdoor chores.
The 4.5-inch handle is made from lightweight, durable G10 and finished in eye-catching Tiffany Blue. G10 provides excellent durability while keeping overall weight low, making it a natural choice for an ultralight EDC. At 0.48 inch thick, the handle offers a substantial grip without feeling overly bulky, while the ergonomic profile helps provide confident control in a variety of cutting positions. The bright Tiffany Blue color gives the Cirex a distinctive look that's easy to spot in your gear or pocket.
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. The right-hand tip-up clip provides a secure and accessible carry position for everyday use.
Measuring 8.0 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, the Cirex offers substantial cutting capability while weighing just 2.95 ounces. That ultralight construction makes it particularly appealing for users who want a full-size cutting tool without the pocket weight that often comes with larger folders.
Designed by Fabian Hobbelen and manufactured in China, the GEO Knife Cirex delivers an excellent combination of premium steel, durable G10, and titanium hardware. With an ETA around July, it's ready to become a standout addition to an EDC rotation for users who appreciate capable performance with a distinctive look.
