GraphiX: Ti & Carbon Folding Knife — M390/D2 Blade

Not because you need more features.
Because you deserve something that actually feels right.

The knife in your pocket right now — does it disappear when you don't need it, and appear exactly when you do?
Does it cut without constant sharpening?
Does it feel like an extension of your hand — or just another thing you carry?

GraphiX was built for the moment you stop settling.

A knife needs three things:
A blade that stays sharp.
A frame that doesn't flex.
A grip that feels right — even when your hands are wet, even when you're wearing gloves, even after hours of use.

Everything else is optional.

So we stripped away the extra. Left only what matters. And then spent months refining what remained.

The result?
A knife with superb grip. Perfect balance. Silky-smooth action.
Built from the best materials — Grade 5 titanium, carbon fiber, M390 steel.
Designed to be scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, and genuinely durable.

No gimmicks. No excess. Just a knife that does one thing perfectly:
It cuts. Every time. For as long as you own it.

The person who's tired of pocket clips that loosen after a month.
The one who wants a blade that stays sharp — without becoming a hobby.
The EDC enthusiast who knows that "more features" usually means "more compromises."

Anyone who's ever picked up a knife and thought: "Why does this feel like it was designed by a committee?"

If that sounds like you — you've found your knife.

We started with that question — and stripped away everything that didn't serve it.

No gimmicks. No excess. Just a clean, timeless design built to be used. Every day. For years.

GraphiX stands apart because it does less — but does it with absolute intention.

In fact, it's our fourth folder — one for each year since 2023.

Before GraphiX, we delivered thousands of titanium tools to backers around the world. We know machining. We know what it takes to go from sketch to shipped.

We also know that trust is earned — not given.

That's why every knife is inspected before it leaves. If it's not right, it doesn't go out. Simple.

Don’t just take our word for it. See what our backers say.

Real feedback from real backers. Every knife we’ve made — and every one we’ve learned from — led us here.

So what makes this one different?

Let's find out!

M390 isn't just a name. It's a promise.

1.9% carbon for hardness. 20% chromium for protection. 4% vanadium for edge life.

In a standardized CATRA test, M390 cuts 959mm of cardboard before dulling. For context, 420HC — a common stainless steel — cuts around 200mm.

Translation? You'll sharpen other knives. You'll just use this one.

Prefer rugged reliability at a more accessible price? GraphiX is also available with a D2 steel blade — tough, dependable, and built to perform.

Most blades would bend. Chip. Fail entirely.

M390 doesn't flinch. No flex. No deformation. Just the same clean line it started with.

We don't expect you to abuse your knife. But we tested it anyway.

The frame is machined from Grade 5 titanium — the same material trusted in aerospace, surgical implants, and high-performance racing.

It's not chosen for how it looks, though that helps. It's chosen because nothing else balances strength, weight, and corrosion resistance quite like it.

Light enough to carry every day. Strong enough to outlast you.

The carbon fiber scales add texture and structure. Each scale displays a unique weave — no two are exactly alike.

The titanium frame curves with the natural shape of your palm. Textured carbon fiber scales ensure control — even with wet hands or gloves.

The balance is perfect. Not blade-heavy. Not handle-heavy. Just… right.

At the base of the blade, subtle jimping locks your index finger in place for detailed work. A small detail that makes a big difference when precision matters most.

A strong detent holds the blade firmly in place during carry — no accidental openings. When you're ready, it deploys with a satisfying, silky-smooth action. Not too tight. Not too loose. Just right.

What makes it so smooth?

Inside GraphiX, precision ceramic bearings deliver that addictive ultra-smooth flip — while phosphor bronze components distribute load evenly, reduce friction, and ensure long-term durability.

Smooth now. Smooth forever.

The result? A knife that opens effortlessly — and stays smooth for years, not weeks.

Steel bearings can rust. Ceramic doesn't.
Plastic washers wear out. Phosphor bronze doesn't.

Why compromise when you don't have to?

A knife that opens smoothly is one thing. A knife that stays rock-solid once open is another.

GraphiX gives you both.

The lock face and pivot are precision-machined to fit with zero tolerance. When the blade is deployed, there’s no lateral movement. No blade play. No wobble. Just a solid lock-up you can trust — every time you open it.

Most clips pinch, scratch, or loosen. GraphiX’s clip is different.

We CNC-milled the clip channel into the titanium frame — so the clip sits flush, not sticking out. No snag points. No scratches.

And it follows the curve of the handle — not a straight piece bolted on, but a custom shape that flows with the knife. Because if it’s going to be there, it should look like it belongs.

Machined from spring-grade titanium. Won’t loosen. Won’t lose its grip.

A clip should hold. It should also let go. Finally, one does both.

Tritium Slots

Precision-machined tritium slots on each side of the handle — 1.5×6mm — ready to hold self-illuminating vials if you choose. Add them for a subtle glow in darkness, or leave them empty — the clean lines remain either way.

Lanyard Hole

A small hole with a big purpose. Add a lanyard, a cord, or leave it bare. Your choice. Whether you prefer the simplicity of bare titanium or the personal touch of a paracord knot, GraphiX is ready for how you carry.

• Red Carbon — Bold and energetic. The red carbon fiber weave makes a confident, modern statement. For those who see their tools as an extension of who they are.
• Blue Carbon — Calm and focused. The deep blue weave evokes clarity and reliability. For those who value understated sophistication.
• Black Carbon — Dark, quiet, purposeful. The black carbon fiber weave absorbs light instead of reflecting it. For those who let their tools speak for themselves.

All built the same. All built to last. Choose the one that feels like you.

Every great tool starts with a problem worth solving.

For us, it was this: why do the knives we use every day feel like an afterthought?

GraphiX was built to change that. Not with more features, but with better ones.

Here’s what that looks like on paper.

Make it yours. Personalize your GraphiX with custom engraving, choose between red, blue or black carbon fiber inlay, and select your vial option — luminous or tritium. Finish it off with a lanyard for a touch that's uniquely yours.

Please note the difference when choosing your vial option:

• Luminous — Glows after exposure to light.
• Tritium Vials – Self-illuminating, glow continuously for years with no light source needed.

Choose the one that fits your setup — or leave the slots empty and add them later.

We believe in transparency as much as we believe in good design. The timeline below reflects our best planning—but if the unexpected happens, you'll be the first to know. No surprises, no silence. Just honest updates, every step of the way.

Not by being the most expensive. Not by having the most features.
By being so reliable that you stop thinking about it — until the moment you need it.

GraphiX isn't trying to be the toughest knife in the world. Just the one you reach for first.

The one that disappears in your pocket — and appears in your hand exactly when you need it.

Hiking. Fishing. Camp. Cooking. Daily carry.
It's built for all of them — and asks nothing in return.

Years from now, when other knives have come and gone, it'll still be there. Still sharp. Still yours.

Not because you babied it. Because it was built that way.

Some things you buy. This one you keep.
