CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Strix is a custom butterfly knife built for performance, balance, and striking design. Crafted in the USA and designed by champion balisong flipper Corbin Lovins, this knife reflects the precision and understanding that only a professional in the art of flipping can bring. Its 4.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel tanto blade is finished in satin, giving it both rugged utility and a refined edge. Known for its excellent toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, CPM S35VN ensures the Strix isn’t just made to look good—it’s made to last.
The handles are a standout feature, milled from titanium and anodized in bold gold with green anodized inserts for a distinctive two-tone look. The cutouts reduce overall weight without compromising durability, keeping the Strix light and agile in motion. Zen pins provide smooth, consistent action, ensuring clean openings and reliable stopping points whether you’re flipping for skill or carrying it as a premium tool. Measuring 5.5" closed and weighing just 4.4 ounces, it carries with ease while maintaining a substantial, balanced feel.
Each Strix comes with a certificate of authenticity and a premium black zippered nylon storage pouch, emphasizing its place as a true custom piece. Proudly made in the USA, it’s a knife that speaks to craftsmanship, performance, and individuality in equal measure.
