SHOP CASE KNIVESRefined design meets real-world utility in the Tenable Knives Fermi Ivory, a compact yet capable everyday carry folding knife that brings style, substance, and sharp performance to your pocket. With thoughtful touches from Burchtree Designs and the materials to match, the Fermi isn’t just built to work—it’s built to impress.
The Fermi’s 3.11-inch clip point blade is forged from 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. This is a blade you can trust day in and day out, whether you're opening boxes, slicing cord, or tackling detailed cutting tasks. The clip point shape offers a fine tip for precision work, while the long cutting edge provides ample utility. A sleek black titanium carbo-nitrade finish adds more than just good looks—it gives the blade added surface hardness and a layer of protection against wear and the elements.
Opening the blade is fast and fluid, thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs that offer easy access for both right- and left-handed users. The linerlock mechanism engages with a solid click, ensuring a safe and reliable lock-up while you work. It’s a manual folder that doesn’t need assisted opening to feel fast or responsive—just clean design and quality construction doing what they do best.
The ivory-colored G-10 handle sets this knife apart visually, lending a classic, almost dressy appearance to a thoroughly modern design. G-10 is known for being lightweight, durable, and resistant to temperature and moisture, so it performs as well as it looks. Subtle contouring and a confident grip make it comfortable in the hand, and at just 4.22 inches closed, it tucks away cleanly into your pocket when not in use.
A tip-up pocket clip keeps the Fermi positioned just right for quick draw and carry, while the compact 7.33-inch overall length ensures this knife stays agile and manageable without feeling undersized. Weighing in at 4.3 ounces and measuring .13 inches at the blade’s thickest point, the Fermi hits the sweet spot between lightweight portability and solid, trustworthy construction.
Designed with care by Burchtree Designs and crafted for daily carry, the Fermi Ivory doesn’t just get the job done—it makes an impression while doing it. Whether you're a seasoned collector or someone who simply wants a dependable, attractive knife for everyday use, this one checks all the right boxes.
