Lovins Customs Strix Balisong Knife Purple Anodized 4.5-In Satin Tanto CLV24

The Lovins Customs Strix Balisong Knife in Purple Anodized Titanium is a premium American-made butterfly knife engineered for elite flipping, precision control, and collector-grade craftsmanship. Designed by world-class balisong flipper Corbin Lovins, the Strix is built for peak performance and features top-tier materials, expert balance, and smooth, responsive action. Whether you’re training, competing, or showcasing, this knife is crafted to exceed expectations.

At the core of the Strix is a 4.5-inch tanto blade made from high-performance CPM S35VN stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and toughness, CPM S35VN makes this knife more than just a flipper—it’s a reliable cutting tool built for long-term use. The satin finish enhances the sleek look of the blade while reducing friction, making it ideal for fluid flipping, slicing, or display. The tanto blade profile delivers a strong, reinforced tip that excels in piercing tasks and adds a bold, tactical aesthetic to this high-end design.

The standout feature of this model is its anodized purple titanium handles. Lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, the titanium construction offers perfect balance and durability. The brilliant purple anodization adds a custom, vibrant appearance, ensuring the Strix stands out whether you’re flipping at a competition or adding it to your collection. Zen pins provide reliable stop points during opening and closing, helping to reduce handle wear while ensuring a smoother, more controlled flipping experience.

Each handle features precision-machined weight-reducing cutouts, enhancing balance and reducing fatigue during long flipping sessions. At 5.5 inches closed and weighing just 4.4 ounces, the Strix delivers the ideal weight-to-length ratio for fast, controlled motion—making it a favorite among seasoned flippers and beginners alike. The handle design ensures comfort in hand, and the smooth pivot action allows for effortless performance with advanced tricks or everyday fidgeting.

Each Lovins Customs Strix Balisong Knife includes a certificate of authenticity, verifying its American-made craftsmanship and custom pedigree. It also comes with a high-quality black zippered nylon pouch for secure storage and transport. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or starting your balisong journey, this knife brings top-tier quality and competition-ready design together in a striking, collectible package.

Proudly made in the USA, the Strix reflects Corbin Lovins’ deep knowledge of flipping dynamics and craftsmanship. It’s not just a knife—it’s a performance-driven precision instrument designed to elevate your skills and style.
