SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech Malibu Button Lock Flipper is a modern folding knife built with precision, clean design, and high-performance materials, reflecting Pro-Tech’s reputation for American-made quality and consistency. Designed as a full-size everyday carry, the Malibu balances sleek lines with dependable function, offering a refined tool that performs as well as it looks.
At the center of the Malibu is a 3.25-inch reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel. Known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut delivers cutting performance suited for daily use and demanding tasks alike. The reverse tanto profile provides a strong, reinforced tip for detailed work while maintaining a long, straight cutting edge for controlled slicing. A DLC black blade finish enhances durability and wear resistance while giving the knife a clean, understated appearance.
The Malibu’s button lock flipper mechanism delivers smooth, reliable action with every deployment. The flipper tab allows quick, intuitive opening, while the button lock offers secure lockup and effortless disengagement. This combination creates a controlled, user-friendly experience that Pro-Tech has refined through precise machining and careful assembly. Hardware and button finishes are blasted to complement the blade and handle, maintaining a cohesive, professional look.
The handle is constructed from lightweight 7075 aluminum and finished in a neutral grey tone. Solid in texture and ergonomically shaped, it provides a comfortable, confident grip without unnecessary bulk. At 4.25 inches closed and weighing just 2.99 ounces, the Malibu carries easily while still offering a full, balanced feel in hand. The short deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife discreet and secure during daily carry, positioning it comfortably in the pocket while remaining easily accessible.
Designed for right-handed users, the Malibu’s layout prioritizes simplicity and efficiency. With an overall length of 7.5 inches, it fits squarely into the full-size category without feeling oversized, making it well suited for everyday tasks, professional environments, or enthusiasts who appreciate clean engineering and premium materials.
The Pro-Tech Malibu Button Lock Flipper stands as a clear example of thoughtful design, precise manufacturing, and reliable performance, delivering a folding knife that’s purpose-built for consistent, everyday use.
