High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Griffin X Series Jade & Black is a striking fusion of precision engineering, premium materials, and modern design, created for those who expect more from their everyday carry. Designed by Keith Griffin and manufactured by Bestech, this knife reflects a commitment to quality and innovation in every detail. With an overall length of 8.37 inches, it offers a slightly larger profile that provides enhanced reach and control while remaining sleek and easy to carry.
At the center of this knife is a 3.5-inch blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance material prized for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade features a hollow grind, delivering excellent slicing performance with a fine, precise edge. Its drop point shape enhances versatility, making it well-suited for a wide range of cutting tasks. Finished with a black PVD coating, the blade has a bold, refined appearance while adding an extra layer of durability and wear resistance.
The handle is equally impressive, combining strength, lightweight performance, and distinctive styling. Constructed from titanium with a black PVD finish, it offers durability without unnecessary weight, bringing the knife in at just 3.37 ounces. Jade-colored G-10 inserts provide a sharp visual contrast, giving the knife a modern, eye-catching look while enhancing grip and control. The ergonomic design ensures the handle feels natural in hand, offering comfort and stability during extended use.
Deployment is smooth and precise thanks to the front flipper mechanism. The blade rides on ceramic bearings, delivering a crisp, responsive action that makes one-handed opening effortless and reliable. A steel detent enhances the feel, providing consistent engagement and a satisfying snap during deployment. Once open, the bolster lock secures the blade firmly in place, reinforced with a stainless steel insert for added strength and longevity.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the build. Titanium T8 hardware ensures durability and ease of maintenance, while the titanium back spacer adds structural integrity and a clean, finished look. The milled titanium pocket clip is configured for tip-up carry, keeping the knife secure and easily accessible throughout the day. A hidden lanyard slot adds versatility without interrupting the knife’s streamlined design.
The Griffin X Series Jade & Black stands out as a refined, performance-driven folder that combines cutting-edge materials with thoughtful design. It’s built to perform reliably while offering a bold, modern aesthetic that sets it apart from the crowd.
