Protech Malibu Reverse Tanto Stonewashed 20CV Aluminum Bronze Button Lock Flipper 5210-BRZ

The Protech Knives Malibu is a manual flipper happy to join the Protech family and sports a fast and fluid, flipper deployment and button lock mechanism. This slim folder exhibits all the precision fit and finish we know and love from Protech automatics delivered in a quick operating manual folder. Great for everyday carry, discreet tactical use, or as a larger gentleman's carry option. This Reverse Tanto version comes with a stonewashed CPM-20CV blade and tumbled aluminum bronze handle.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Malibu comes with a sub-3.5" blade made from premium, American CPM-20CV stainless steel. A rugged, heavily stonewashed finish hides wear from use, while the Reverse Tanto profile offers added durability at the tip for powerful piercing performance. Executed with a high saber grind, the blade delivers balanced durability and slicing performance with a gently sweeping belly. Riding on a ball bearing pivot, the blade deploys fast and smooth via the integral index flipper tab.

Handle: Made of premium aluminum bronze alloy, the handle delivers solid heft in the hand and will develop a unique natural patina with time and handling, though slower than standard bronze. The handles have machined subtle finger grooves for optimal comfort in the hand. The mosaic pin inlaid button lock mechanism is smooth, reliable, and easy to use. A sleek design and precision fit and finish makes this a perfect choice for gentleman's tactical carry.

Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-20CV: CPM-20CV (analog to M390 and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. Relatively easy to sharpen, the coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
