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 conceal wear while reducing glare in the field. Nitro-V is widely respected for its strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, giving this blade the performance needed for daily cutting tasks.
Dual thumb studs provide smooth, reliable one-handed opening, allowing quick access whenever the job calls for it. Once deployed, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock holds the blade securely in place, providing the strength and confidence users expect from a well-built manual folder. The straightforward mechanism keeps the knife dependable and easy to operate whether you’re handling routine utility work, outdoor tasks, or everyday cutting chores.
The handle is built from white and black G-10, a rugged composite material prized for its strength, lightweight feel, and resistance to the elements. Its textured surface provides a confident grip while maintaining a bold, modern look that stands apart from ordinary everyday carry knives. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for versatile carry on either side, keeping the knife secure and within easy reach. Closed, the Bison measures 4.11” and weighs just 3.27 ounces, making it a comfortable and capable companion for daily use.
The Bison was designed by Ray Laconico, a respected custom knife maker from Visalia, California. For more than a decade he’s been crafting highly functional, elegantly refined folding knives that blend clean design with real-world performance.
