The Tenable Bison Folding Knife blends modern materials with clean, purposeful design to create a dependable everyday cutting tool that stands out from the crowd. Its 3.24” clip point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel and finished in a striking rose gold coating that adds both visual appeal and practical durability. Nitro-V is widely respected for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, giving the blade the strength needed for real-world cutting tasks while maintaining a refined look.
Dual thumb studs allow for smooth, controlled one-handed opening so the blade is ready the moment you need it. Once deployed, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock secures the blade firmly in place, delivering the reliable lockup and confidence users expect from a well-built manual folder. The simple, time-tested mechanism keeps the knife easy to operate whether you’re handling daily utility work, shop projects, or outdoor chores.
The handle is constructed from black aluminum with a bold frag-pattern texture that enhances both grip and visual character. This machined pattern not only adds a tactical edge to the design but also improves control during demanding cutting tasks. Aluminum keeps the knife strong while maintaining a lightweight feel in the pocket, and the ergonomic shaping sits naturally in the hand for extended use. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides secure, convenient carry and quick access whenever it’s needed. Closed, the Bison measures 4.11” and weighs 3.27 ounces, offering a comfortable balance of strength and portability.
The Bison was designed by Ray Laconico, a respected custom knife maker from Visalia, California. With more than a decade of experience crafting highly functional and elegantly designed tactical folders, his work is trusted by collectors and everyday users around the world.
