The Griffin Scout F3.5 is a rugged, refined folding knife designed for users who demand dependable performance, premium materials, and thoughtful construction. Designed by Keith Griffin and manufactured by Bestech, this Scout F3.5 combines a substantial CPM MagnaCut blade with a black washed titanium handle and natural Micarta inlay for a distinctive look that's ready for serious everyday use.
At the heart of the Scout F3.5 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut. This premium stainless steel offers an impressive balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for an everyday working knife. The flat grind creates an efficient cutting edge, while the swedge gives the blade a streamlined profile and added visual appeal. A black washed finish completes the blade with a rugged appearance that's well suited to regular carry and use.
The 5-inch handle is constructed from black washed titanium and features a natural Micarta inlay. The dark titanium provides strength and durability, while the warm, earthy Micarta adds contrast and a comfortable, distinctive character to the design. Measuring 0.535 inches thick, the handle provides a substantial grip without compromising the knife's clean lines. Titanium T8 hardware, a titanium back spacer, and a hidden lanyard pin further demonstrate the attention to detail built into the Scout F3.5.
Deployment is handled by a front flipper riding on ceramic bearings, giving the blade a smooth and responsive opening action. A steel detent helps maintain positive blade retention when the knife is closed. Once deployed, the frame lock with stainless steel insert holds the blade securely in position for confident cutting performance.
The Scout F3.5 is equipped with a milled titanium pocket clip for right-hand, tip-up carry, giving you a secure and practical way to keep this substantial folder close at hand. Measuring 8.5 inches overall with a 0.157-inch-thick blade, it weighs 5.75 ounces, providing a solid balance of capability and carryability.
From its premium MagnaCut blade to its black washed titanium and natural Micarta construction, the Griffin Scout F3.5 brings together rugged utility and sophisticated craftsmanship in one purpose-built folding knife.
