The Gravitic Flip revives a little-known piece of knife history with a modern twist. Designed by Ted Valerio, founder of Teval Knives, this manual out-the-front knife channels the ingenuity of the original "Flip It" knives- once a rare curiosity, now reimagined for today's everyday carry.Unlike spring-driven OTFs, the Gravitic Flip uses a vintage-inspired flip insert mechanism. A quick flick of the insert deploys the dual-edge spearpoint blade forward, where tabs on the insert recess into the handle to lock it firmly in place. Recessed magnets on the insert keep the blade secure when closed, giving you smooth, reliable action without the need for springs or buttons.Lightweight and endlessly fidgetable, the Gravitic Flip proves that sometimes looking back is the best way forward.
