CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Strix is a custom American-made butterfly knife designed by champion balisong flipper Corbin Lovins, combining precision engineering with performance-driven design. Its 4.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel tanto blade features a satin finish, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. Every cut reflects the premium craftsmanship and thoughtfulness that goes into a knife built for serious collectors and flippers alike.
The handles are satin-finished titanium, accented with green anodized inserts for a subtle yet striking two-tone aesthetic. Carefully machined weight-reducing cutouts keep the knife agile and responsive, while zen pins provide consistent stopping points and smooth action for flipping. Measuring 5.5" closed and weighing 4.4 ounces, the Strix strikes the perfect balance between solid feel and effortless handling, making it as reliable in motion as it is visually impressive.
Each Strix comes with a certificate of authenticity and a high-quality black zippered nylon storage pouch, underlining its status as a true custom piece. Crafted entirely in the USA, this knife embodies precision, style, and American-made quality in every detail, from its balanced action to its refined finishing touches.
