SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TEKTO F1 Alpha 3.1 Black is where tactical function meets modern design in a refined everyday carry package. Built for those who demand reliability without sacrificing style, this folding knife delivers performance, durability, and sleek aesthetics all in one precision-crafted tool.
At the core of the F1 Alpha 3.1 is a 3.1-inch modified straight back blade made from D2 tool steel—a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy known for its impressive hardness, excellent edge retention, and resistance to wear. The blade features a black titanium finish that not only enhances its corrosion resistance but also gives it a stealthy, non-reflective look that complements the knife’s overall tactical appeal. The plain edge and streamlined blade shape offer exceptional cutting power and control, making it ideal for daily utility tasks and precision work alike.
Opening the knife is fast and fluid thanks to the integrated blade flipper. This manual folder offers a satisfying snap into place, assisted by a reliable linerlock mechanism that keeps the blade secure during use. You’ll feel the confidence that comes from a solid lockup every time you deploy the blade.
The handle is constructed from black G-10, a durable, lightweight composite known for its excellent grip and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. The subtle texture offers a secure hold without being overly aggressive, making it comfortable for extended use. Black accents run throughout the design, giving the F1 Alpha 3.1 a unified, tactical aesthetic that looks as sharp as it cuts.
Measuring 4.5 inches closed and 7.78 inches overall, the knife is well-proportioned for everyday carry. It weighs just 3.3 ounces, making it lightweight enough to disappear in your pocket, yet robust enough to handle demanding tasks. A tip-up pocket clip ensures secure, convenient carry, and a lanyard hole adds options for personalization or quick access.
The F1 Alpha 3.1 isn’t just built to look good—it’s engineered to perform in real-world conditions. Whether you're on the job, out in the field, or handling everyday challenges, this knife is ready to keep up with your pace. Its clean lines, durable build, and purpose-driven features make it a standout choice for anyone who values quality and reliability in their gear.
