Description
The Tenable Goblin L B3016A1 is a liner lock folding knife designed by Marshall Noble, featuring a 3.08" Rose Gold 14C28N sheepsfoot blade and a Rose Gold Anodized Aluminum handle with an amphibian-inspired geometric texture. Inspired by the 1984 XF-85 "Goblin" experimental fighter jet, the Goblin L scales up the original Goblin design for more demanding cutting tasks while keeping a carry-friendly profile. The fully rose gold color treatment — matching blade finish and handle — makes the B3016A1 a standout piece in the lineup.
