SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Griffin X Series Natural & Stonewash blends premium performance with a warm, understated aesthetic, delivering a knife that’s as capable as it is refined. Designed by Keith Griffin and manufactured by Bestech, this folder reflects a thoughtful approach to modern knife design, combining advanced materials with clean, functional lines. With an overall length of 8.37 inches, it offers a well-balanced profile that feels comfortable in hand while remaining slim and easy to carry.
The 3.5-inch blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance material known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Built to handle repeated use in a variety of conditions, this blade maintains its sharpness while standing up to the elements. The hollow grind enhances slicing efficiency, allowing for smooth, precise cuts with minimal effort. Its drop point shape provides excellent versatility and control, while the belt satin finish gives the blade a smooth look.
The handle brings together durability and natural character in a distinctive combination. Constructed from titanium with a stonewash finish, it offers impressive strength while keeping the overall weight at just 3.37 ounces. The natural Micarta inlay adds a unique visual and tactile element, introducing subtle texture and warmth that contrasts beautifully with the titanium frame. Over time, the Micarta develops its own character, making each knife feel more personal with use. The ergonomic design ensures a secure, comfortable grip, providing confidence and control during extended tasks.
Deployment is smooth and precise thanks to the front flipper mechanism. Paired with ceramic bearings, the blade opens with a fluid, responsive action that feels consistent every time. A steel detent enhances the deployment, delivering a crisp, satisfying snap that reflects the knife’s quality construction. Once open, the bolster lock engages securely, reinforced with a stainless steel insert for added strength and long-term reliability.
Every detail of the X Series has been carefully considered. 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 offers additional carry options without disrupting the streamlined design.
The Griffin X Series Natural & Stonewash stands out as a well-crafted folder that combines modern performance with a timeless, natural aesthetic. It’s designed to perform reliably while offering a distinctive look that evolves with use.
