Protech Malibu Reverse Tanto Black DLC 20CV Textured Button Lock Flipper 5206

The Protech Knives Malibu is a manual folder with a swift, 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 fast operating manual folder. Great for everyday carry, the Malibu can be used as a discreet tactical knife or larger dress carry option. This Blackout reverse Tanto version comes with a Black DLC CPM-20CV blade and new Textured black anodized aluminum handle.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives.

Blade: Made from CPM-20CV with a durable and discreet black DLC coating, the sub-3.5″ reverse Tanto blade offers added tip strength 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: Milled, hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have chamfered edges and subtle machined finger grooves for optimal comfort in the hand and a visually appealing milled texture for traction. The sweeping angle of the handle aligns the blade for better ergonomics in use and locks the hand in behind the integral flipper tab guard. The button lock mechanism is rock solid and reliable for safe use. A sleek design and precision fit and finish makes this a perfect choice for tactical dress carry.

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

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.
