Heibel Friction Folder Red G10 Ti Liners HKF11

The Heibel Faction #11 Friction Folder is a no-nonsense cutting tool crafted for everyday carry with a blend of modern materials and time-tested simplicity. Proudly made in the USA, this non-locking friction folder is built with the same precision and durability that knife users expect from boutique American makers. Whether you're after a unique EDC piece or just appreciate old-school mechanics paired with high-performance materials, this knife delivers.

At the core is a 2.5-inch drop point blade made from AEB-L stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge stability and ease of sharpening, AEB-L has long been a favorite among custom makers for its well-balanced performance and clean finish. The satin blade gives the knife a sleek, utilitarian look, while the drop point profile offers controlled tip work and a wide belly for slicing tasks.

Operating on the friction folder mechanism, the Faction #11 stays open through the tension of the handle and blade tang, with no internal lock. The flipper tab allows for smooth, simple deployment, making it easy to operate with one hand. This minimalist design not only reduces weight and complexity but also makes it a legal carry option in areas with stricter knife laws.

The handle is built with textured red G-10 scales over titanium liners, combining lightweight strength with a confident grip. The G-10 provides plenty of traction without being aggressive, and the red color adds a bold, custom feel to the overall look. A titanium tip-up pocket clip is mounted for secure carry and adds a modern touch to this otherwise traditional build. The 4.5-inch closed length makes it compact enough for discreet pocket carry, and at just 3.2 ounces, you’ll barely notice it until it’s needed.

The Heibel Faction #11 is a knife for those who value simplicity, craftsmanship, and standout design. Whether you're cutting cord, opening boxes, or adding to your custom collection, this folder is built to do the job right.
