CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Strix is a custom butterfly knife designed with the insight of champion balisong flipper Corbin Lovins and built with American craftsmanship. At its core is a 4.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel tanto blade, finished in satin for a clean, refined look that pairs durability with precision. Known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, S35VN makes the Strix a blade that’s not only striking but dependable under repeated use. This is a knife that balances professional-grade materials with the artistry of custom design.
The handles are titanium, anodized in a bold pink that sets this version of the Strix apart from the crowd. Lightweight cutouts are machined into each handle to reduce weight, ensuring fast, fluid flipping without sacrificing toughness. Zen pins provide consistent action and reliable stopping points, offering smooth performance in every motion. At 5.5" closed and weighing just 4.4 ounces, the Strix feels agile and responsive in hand while still carrying a solid presence.
Each knife includes a certificate of authenticity and a high-quality black zippered nylon storage pouch, highlighting its place as a true custom piece built for collectors and flippers alike. Proudly made in the USA, the Strix is more than a butterfly knife—it’s a statement of precision, craftsmanship, and individuality.
