The Griffin X Series Bolster Lock Folding Knife delivers a refined blend of premium materials, precise machining, and rugged everyday performance. Built for those who demand reliability and clean modern design, this lightweight folder offers serious cutting capability in a sleek, thoughtfully engineered package.
At the center of the knife is a 3.5” drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel. MagnaCut has quickly established itself as one of the most advanced blade steels available, offering an exceptional combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The blade features a rugged blackwash finish that gives it a bold, hard-use appearance while helping mask the marks that come from regular carry and cutting. Its drop point profile provides excellent versatility, delivering a strong, controllable tip and a long slicing edge that handles everything from detailed work to everyday tasks with confidence.
Deployment is quick and fluid thanks to the front flipper tab paired with ceramic bearings. With a flick of the finger, the blade glides open smoothly and locks solidly into place. The knife utilizes Griffin’s sturdy bolster lock design, reinforced with a stainless steel insert to ensure reliable lockup and lasting durability through years of use.
The handles are machined from blackwashed titanium, giving the knife a durable frame with a rugged, understated look. A black G-10 inlay blends seamlessly into the handle while adding texture and grip for confident handling. Titanium hardware and a titanium backspacer further reinforce the knife’s premium construction while keeping weight to a minimum. A hidden lanyard pin preserves the clean profile of the design, and the milled titanium pocket clip ensures the knife rides securely and comfortably in the pocket.
At 4.75” closed and weighing just 3.37 ounces, the Griffin X Series provides a larger cutting edge without sacrificing everyday carry comfort. It feels balanced and solid in hand while remaining light enough for daily pocket carry.
