Protech Malibu LTD Damascus Reverse Tanto Bronze Aluminum Button Lock Flipper 5210-DAM

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 Limited Reverse Tanto version comes with a Nichols Stainless Damascus blade and tumbled bronze aluminum handle.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives.

Blade: The Malibu comes with a sub-3.5″ blade made from stunning Nichols Stainless Ladder Pattern Damascus. The stylish 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 bronze aluminum 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 black mother-of-pearl 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.

Nichols Stainless Damascus: Stainless Damascus offers the performance of a modern stainless steel with the striking look of etched, pattern welded steel. Composed of AEB-L and 304, Nichols’ stainless Damascus delivers excellent corrosion resistance and toughness with good hardness for edge retention.
