High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt to stand apart through material choice and visual detail, the Tenable Knives Tipper Linerlock Folding Knife with Amber PEI Handle and Damascus Blade delivers everyday utility with elevated character. Designed by Tenable Knives, this version of the Tipper pairs practical carry features with a refined aesthetic that still feels capable and work-focused.
The centerpiece of this knife is its 3.38-inch cleaver-style Damascus steel blade. Known for its layered construction and striking appearance, the Damascus blade features a flowing ripple pattern that gives each knife a unique look. Beyond appearance, the broad cleaver profile offers excellent control for slicing, push cuts, and general utility work. The wide blade face provides stability during cuts, while the straight edge excels at clean, deliberate performance. Thumb stud deployment allows for smooth, one-handed opening, keeping the action quick and predictable.
A dependable linerlock secures the blade during use, offering straightforward operation and solid lockup. This classic locking mechanism keeps the knife slim and lightweight while maintaining confidence during everyday cutting tasks. The linerlock design also allows for easy, controlled closing once the work is done.
The handle is constructed from amber PEI, a durable and lightweight material that adds both strength and visual distinction. The translucent amber tone gives the knife a warm, almost glass-like appearance while maintaining the toughness needed for daily carry. PEI resists wear and environmental exposure, making it a practical choice that doesn’t sacrifice durability for style. Ergonomic shaping ensures the handle sits comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip during extended use.
Measuring 4.5 inches closed, the Tipper remains compact and pocket-friendly while still offering a confident grip when opened. With an overall balanced feel and a weight of just 0.32 pounds, it carries easily throughout the day without feeling flimsy or oversized. A pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, allowing it to ride comfortably in a pocket or clipped to gear. The knife comes boxed, making it suitable for storage, display, or gifting right out of the package.
Manufactured in China to Tenable Knives’ specifications, the Tipper Linerlock Folding Knife with Amber PEI Handle and Damascus Blade blends everyday functionality with standout materials. It’s a folding knife built for users who want dependable performance paired with distinctive style and thoughtful design.
