The Tenable Bison Folding Knife combines sleek design, premium materials, and dependable performance in a compact everyday carry built to handle real work. Its 3.24” clip point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel and finished in a rugged stonewash that helps hide scratches while reducing glare during use. Nitro-V is widely respected for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it an ideal steel for a knife designed to perform day after day.
Dual thumb studs provide smooth, reliable one-handed opening, giving you quick access to the blade whenever the job demands it. Once open, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock secures the blade firmly in place, delivering the strength and dependable lockup expected from a well-built manual folder. The mechanism is simple, reliable, and easy to operate whether you’re tackling everyday utility tasks, shop work, or outdoor chores.
The handle is constructed from twill carbon fiber, offering an impressive combination of strength, lightweight performance, and modern style. The distinctive woven pattern gives the knife a refined, high-end look while maintaining exceptional durability and resistance to the elements. Carbon fiber also keeps the overall weight down without sacrificing structural strength, making the Bison comfortable to carry throughout the day. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides secure, convenient carry and easy access whenever you need it. Closed, the knife measures 4.11” and weighs 3.27 ounces, giving it an excellent balance of portability and capability.
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 refined tactical folding knives, his work is trusted by collectors and everyday users around the world.
