The Pro-Tech Malibu Custom Flipper Knife (2023.017) is an exclusive collector-grade version of Pro-Tech’s iconic Malibu button-lock folder, combining custom machining, premium blade steel, and a stealthy tactical finish. Featuring a Black Dragon Scale textured handle, a high-performance CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade with Smoky Grey DLC coating, and the legendary Malibu manual flipper action, this limited configuration offers exceptional craftsmanship, modern EDC performance, and striking collector appeal.
The knife features a 3.25-inch CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade finished in Smoky Grey DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). MagnaCut is one of the most advanced stainless steels available, engineered to deliver an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The Wharncliffe blade profile provides a precise straight cutting edge, excellent control, and a strong point for detailed cutting tasks. The DLC finish adds a dark tactical appearance while helping improve surface durability and wear resistance.
The standout feature is the Black Dragon Scale textured handle, precision-machined to create an intricate scale pattern that enhances both appearance and grip. This custom-style texture gives the Malibu a unique three-dimensional look while maintaining the slim, ergonomic profile that made the platform popular among collectors and EDC enthusiasts.
