Tekto Knives has just unveiled three new models of tactical folding knives, the Forged Carbon F1 Alpha, the F2 Bravo with G10 and Damascus and the Forged Carbon F3 Charlie.

F1 Alpha

  • Handle Material: Forged carbon with silver accents
  • Blade and Components: Polished silver finish
  • Design: Sleek and stylish, combining aesthetics with functionality
  • Blade Material: Silver-finish D2 tool steel
  • Lock: Liner lock

This knife includes silver-accented glass breakers, screws and pocket clip and has a liner lock to secure its 3.1-inch long, full-flat grind, drop-point smooth blade. As a hard use tactical and outdoor knife, the handle of the F1 Alpha has a stylized choil (handstop) to protect the user’s hands while cutting or working with the blade strenuously.

F2 Bravo

  • Handle Material: Damascus G10 with a unique pattern
  • Design: Intricate and sophisticated, enhancing grip and visual appeal
  • Performance: Blending traditional Damascus beauty with modern G10 durability
  • Blade Material: Titanium coated D2 tool steel
  • Lock: Liner lock

The F2 Bravo knife is slimmer with a more refined design that focuses on simplicity. It’s not as “thick” or “wide” as the F1 Alpha and uses a smaller, finer-edge, drop-point blade that measures 3.30 inches.

F3 Charlie

  • Handle Material: Forged carbon
  • Design: Ergonomic for comfortable, prolonged use
  • Performance: Lightweight yet robust, ideal for demanding tasks
  • Blade Material: Titanium/D2 tool steel
  • Lock: Button lock

The Tekto Knives F3 Charlie is the biggest and most robust model in the Tekto tactical folding knife lineup. It has similar contours to the F1 Alpha, but the blade is longer and wider, while its handles also have a choil and more exaggerated curvatures for added hand safety. Instead of the liner lock found on the F2 Bravo or F1 Alpha, the F3 Charlie uses a button lock. The blade has a length of 3.80 inches. 

Each of these new folding knives is designed with the end user in mind, ensuring a reliable, high-performance tool for various tasks, from everyday cutting needs to more specialized uses. The new models reflect Tekto Knives' dedication to quality craftsmanship, innovative design and user-focused features. Visit tektoknives.com to learn more.
