SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Griffin X Series Orange & Black delivers a bold blend of performance, precision, and standout design, built for those who want their gear to perform as good as it looks. Designed by Keith Griffin and manufactured by Bestech, this knife showcases a modern approach to everyday functionality with premium materials and thoughtful engineering throughout. With an overall length of 8.37 inches, it offers a confident, well-balanced feel that provides excellent control while still remaining comfortable to carry.
At the core of this knife is a 3.5-inch blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a top-tier steel known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. This advanced material ensures long-lasting performance in a wide range of environments, making it a reliable choice for repeated use. The blade features a hollow grind, allowing for precise, efficient slicing with minimal resistance. Its drop point profile enhances versatility, giving you a strong, controllable edge for detailed work as well as more demanding cutting tasks. Finished with a black PVD coating, the blade takes on a sleek, durable finish that resists wear while adding a bold, modern edge.
The handle design brings both strength and striking visual appeal. Constructed from titanium with a black PVD finish, it offers excellent durability while keeping the overall weight down to just 3.37 ounces. The orange G-10 inserts create a vivid contrast against the dark frame, giving the knife a distinctive look that stands out while also improving grip and control. The ergonomic shape fits naturally in hand, ensuring comfort and stability during extended use.
Deployment is smooth and responsive thanks to the front flipper mechanism. Paired with ceramic bearings, the blade opens with a crisp, fluid action that feels precise and consistent. A steel detent enhances the deployment, providing a satisfying snap and reliable engagement every time. Once open, the bolster lock secures the blade firmly in place, reinforced with a stainless steel insert for added durability and long-term reliability.
Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance both function and durability. Titanium T8 hardware provides strength and easy maintenance, while the titanium back spacer adds structural integrity to the frame. The milled titanium pocket clip is configured for tip-up carry, ensuring the knife stays secure and accessible throughout the day. A hidden lanyard slot offers additional carry options without disrupting the knife’s clean, streamlined profile.
The Griffin X Series Orange & Black stands out as a dynamic, performance-driven folder that combines cutting-edge materials with bold styling. It’s built to handle real-world use while maintaining a distinctive, modern aesthetic that sets it apart from the ordinary.
