The Tenable Bison Folding Knife delivers clean lines, durable materials, and dependable everyday performance in a compact, hardworking design. Its 3.24” clip point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel and finished in a rugged blackwash that helps hide wear while cutting down on glare in demanding environments. Nitro-V is known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, giving the blade the strength and reliability needed for daily cutting tasks.
Dual thumb studs provide smooth, dependable one-handed opening so the blade is ready when you need it. Once deployed, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock holds the blade firmly in place, offering the strength and confidence users expect from a well-built manual folder. The straightforward mechanism keeps operation simple and reliable whether you’re handling everyday utility work, outdoor chores, or shop tasks.
The handle is constructed from gray and black G-10, a rugged layered composite that’s prized for its durability, grip, and resistance to the elements. The textured surface provides secure control in a variety of conditions while giving the knife a sleek, modern appearance that fits perfectly into any everyday carry rotation. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for convenient carry on either side, keeping the knife secure and accessible. Closed, the Bison measures 4.11” and weighs just 3.27 ounces, making it easy to carry without sacrificing capability.
The Bison was designed by Ray Laconico, a respected custom knife maker from Visalia, California. With more than a decade of experience producing custom tactical folding knives, his work blends refined simplicity with highly functional design trusted by collectors and everyday users alike.
