SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Tenable Knives Colibri Tech Purple & Black is a bold, modern statement in the world of everyday carry folding knives. With its aggressive profile, sleek design elements, and high-performance materials, this manual folder stands out not just for its looks but for the purpose-driven functionality that makes it a reliable partner for daily use.
At the heart of the Colibri Tech is a 4.34-inch Nitro-V stainless steel blade, shaped in a sheepsfoot style that excels in controlled slicing and precise work. Nitro-V is prized for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance—everything you want in a hardworking knife steel. The blackwash finish adds a stealthy, rugged aesthetic while helping to mask wear from use, giving it that battle-worn look from day one.
The blade opens smoothly with your choice of deployment: use either the generously sized thumb hole or the ambidextrous thumb studs, both of which give you quick, fluid access whether you're a lefty or a righty. Once open, the blade locks up tight with a dependable linerlock that keeps things safe and secure during use.
The handle is where the Colibri Tech really turns heads. Crafted from textured G-10 in a vibrant purple and black combo, it’s not just stylish—it’s tough, grippy, and built to last. The contoured shape fits comfortably in the hand, offering control and comfort even in extended use. It’s a knife that feels solid without being bulky, thanks in part to the thoughtful construction and quality materials.
Weighing in at 4.34 ounces and measuring 5.55 inches closed, this knife offers a substantial feel without tipping the scale too far. When open, it stretches to an impressive 9.89 inches overall, giving you plenty of cutting edge while still being easy to carry. The .12-inch blade thickness strikes a balance between slicing precision and strength, making it suitable for everything from daily utility tasks to more demanding cutting jobs.
You’ll also find a tip-up pocket clip for secure carry and a lanyard hole for added versatility, allowing you to personalize your setup or tether it to your gear. It’s a knife designed with the real world in mind—functional, adaptable, and ready for action.
Made with an eye toward quality and modern design, the Tenable Knives Colibri Tech Purple & Black is a standout choice for anyone who appreciates distinctive styling backed by serious performance. It’s a knife that looks as sharp as it cuts.
