The Toor Bateman Onyx Folding Knife Black Aluminum Handle MagnaCut Blade is a premium everyday carry folder built for those who value clean design, uncompromising strength, and precision engineering. Proudly made in the USA, the Bateman represents Toor Knives' next generation of low-profile folding knives, combining sleek styling with mission-ready performance. Inspired by the original Kingpin fixed blade, this folder carries over its discreet, reconnaissance-inspired roots into a lightweight platform that's equally capable on the job, in the field, or as your trusted daily companion.
The Bateman is built around Toor's innovative TwinFrame Construction, a two-piece folding knife platform engineered to maximize strength while eliminating unnecessary complexity. By reducing excess hardware and minimizing potential failure points found in conventional three-piece folders, TwinFrame Construction creates a stronger, lighter, and more dependable knife. Every detail reflects Toor's commitment to intelligent engineering instead of unnecessary parts, resulting in a folder that feels remarkably solid while maintaining a slim, pocket-friendly profile.
Its 3.5-inch MagnaCut blade is built to handle demanding cutting tasks with exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Heat treated to a hardness of 59-61 Rockwell, the blade delivers the durability professionals expect while remaining easy to maintain for years of dependable service. At 0.125 inches thick, it offers the ideal balance of slicing performance and structural strength, making it ready for everything from precision utility work to hard everyday use.
The precision-machined 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum handle features a rugged black Onyx finish that gives the Bateman a clean, understated appearance. Its low-profile design makes it comfortable during extended use while remaining slim enough to disappear into your pocket. Measuring 4.91 inches long and only 0.65 inches thick overall, the Bateman weighs just 3.8 ounces, providing outstanding capability without unnecessary bulk.
A smooth-operating crossbar lock delivers secure blade lockup along with fast, ambidextrous deployment and closing. Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip reduce weight while increasing durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring every component is built for lasting performance. The premium materials and refined construction make this folder as dependable as it is attractive.
With an overall length of 8.43 inches, the Bateman offers an excellent balance of reach, control, and portability. Whether you're carrying it for work, outdoor adventures, or everyday tasks, the Bateman Onyx delivers the reliability, craftsmanship, and modern engineering that have become hallmarks of Toor Knives. Quietly aggressive, exceptionally refined, and purpose-built for those who demand more from their everyday carry.
