Lovins Customs Strix Balisong Damasteel Purple Anodized Titanium CLV07

The Strix is a custom butterfly knife that delivers precision, style, and performance in one refined package. Designed by champion balisong flipper Corbin Lovins, it reflects a deep understanding of balance and control, making it a blade that’s as functional in motion as it is striking in design. The 4.5" Damasteel tanto blade provides strength and edge retention, while its distinct patterning ensures no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Engineered for both serious flipping and collection value, the Strix embodies American craftsmanship at its finest.

Its handles are crafted from titanium with a purple anodized finish that gives the knife an unmistakable presence. The titanium construction offers both lightness and durability, and the handle cutouts reduce weight while adding to the Strix’s nimble, fast feel. Zen pins provide reliable, consistent stopping points for smooth flipping action, a detail that sets this design apart for performance. Measuring 5.5" closed and weighing only 4.4 ounces, it strikes the right balance between heft and agility.

Every Strix comes with a certificate of authenticity and a premium black zippered nylon storage pouch, underscoring its status as a true custom piece. Proudly made in the USA, this knife isn’t just built—it’s crafted with intent, designed to stand out in any collection and perform in any hand.

Available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store. A Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store, SMKW draws more than 1.5 million visitors every year to its legendary showroom in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Please note: these custom knives have one-of-a-kind anodized finishes and uniquely-layered Damasteel blades; no two will ever look alike.
