Description
The Tenable Tipper B1079A3, designed by Edgy Bladeworks, is a bold everyday carry folding knife that blends unconventional styling with practical cutting performance. Featuring a modified cleaver blade and ergonomic handle design, the Tipper offers impressive slicing ability, smooth one-handed operation, and a highly enjoyable fidget-friendly action.
At the core of the knife is a 3.39-inch modified cleaver blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel. Nitro-V is known for its excellent balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention, making it a reliable steel choice for everyday carry knives. The stonewashed blade finish gives the knife a rugged working appearance while helping to conceal scratches from regular use.
The wide blade profile provides a large cutting edge and efficient slicing geometry, making the Tipper well suited for everyday tasks such as opening packages, food preparation, rope cutting, and general utility work. A flat grind enhances cutting performance while maintaining solid edge strength.
The knife deploys easily using thumb studs, allowing smooth one-handed opening. A liner lock mechanism ensures secure blade lockup during use while maintaining a simple and reliable operation. The addition of an ergonomic finger choil allows users to choke up on the blade for increased control and precision cutting.
The handle is made from brown Micarta, a durable composite material known for its excellent grip and comfortable feel in hand. Micarta naturally develops character over time, giving each knife a unique worn-in look while maintaining strong durability for everyday use.
Designed by Scott Stills of Edgy Bladeworks, a custom knife maker based in Asheville, North Carolina, the Tipper reflects his passion for distinctive design and practical craftsmanship. Its recognizable blade shape and comfortable ergonomics make it both a capable tool and a standout addition to any EDC collection.
With its Nitro-V cleaver blade, durable Micarta handle, and reliable liner lock mechanism, the Tenable Tipper B1079A3 offers a unique and capable folding knife designed for everyday carry and versatile cutting tasks.
