SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Petrified Fish Flavorist Linerlock Folder is a clean, purpose-built everyday carry that blends dependable materials with refined design. Built for users who appreciate practical performance and understated style, the Flavorist delivers smooth action, a capable blade profile, and a handle that’s comfortable for long-term use. From daily cutting tasks to light outdoor work, it’s a knife that’s ready to earn its place in your pocket.
At the heart of the Flavorist is a 3.15-inch spear point blade crafted from K110 tool steel. Known for its excellent wear resistance and dependable edge retention, K110 is a workhorse steel that performs well across a wide range of cutting jobs. Heat treated to a hardness of 59–60 HRC, the blade strikes a solid balance between durability and sharpenability. The spear point profile provides strong piercing ability while still offering a versatile edge for slicing and controlled detail work. A clean satin finish gives the blade a classic look while helping highlight the precision grind and clean lines.
Smooth operation is a key part of the Flavorist’s design. The blade rides on a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system that delivers quick, fluid deployment and reliable lockup. The liner lock mechanism engages securely and allows for easy one-handed closing, making the knife practical for everyday use when efficiency matters.
The handle is constructed from brown canvas micarta, a material long valued for its durability and natural grip. Canvas micarta develops character over time, subtly changing with use while maintaining a dependable, tactile feel even in challenging conditions. The ergonomic handle shape provides a confident grip without unnecessary bulk, measuring 4.09 inches to offer solid hand-filling comfort. With an overall length of 7.24 inches and a blade thickness of 3.5mm, the Flavorist maintains a sturdy feel without sacrificing carry convenience.
Weighing just 3.31 ounces, the Flavorist remains lightweight enough for everyday pocket carry while still delivering the solid performance expected from a well-built folder. Designed by Petrified Fish, the knife reflects the brand’s commitment to combining functional materials with modern craftsmanship.
The brown canvas micarta handle paired with a satin-finished K110 spear point blade creates a clean, hardworking look that fits naturally into both urban and outdoor environments.
Sharp looks, smoother deployment, serious cutting ability, the Flavorist is available at SMKW.
