Magnacut Steel | Titanium Liner Lock | Made in 🇺🇸

Tactile Knife Co. is a relatively new brand, with a machining shop located in Dallas. They have a growing stable of models, some of which they treat to special editions each year through their Seasonal Releases.

I’m a big fan of Tactile’s Winter 2024 Icefall collection, which added a marbled Cerakote finish of grey, white, and blue to their knives and pens.

This knife, in many ways, represents the growing manufacturing prowess of Tactile. Not only did they machine the topographic pattern into the full titanium scales, but they then added this truly unique finish. The result is a knife that truly resembles a winter landscape. The Magnacut tanto blade is equally unique, giving the knife a perfect cutting profile and striking profile.

I would love, and use, this knife more if the jimping on the liner lock was less sharp. It’s not a good match for dry thumbs in winter. Otherwise, it’s a very good cutting tool.

M4 | Burnt Bronze Aluminum Axis Lock | Made in 🇺🇸

One of the few knives I’ve purchased off the secondary market. This knife was Benchmade’s 2021 SHOT Show knife and I bought #779/1000. That’s a cool number! The Presidio II/Mini Presidio II are not flashy knives and they get little attention, but the design is just about perfect. Awesome materials, very solid in the hand, and perfectly balanced. I like this one, not just for what the model is, but for the grey cerakote M4 blade. The colors are awesome and M4 is one of my favorite steels. This is a great knife!

Magncut Steel | Titanium Frame Lock | Made in 🇮🇹

A fine titanium frame lock, made cooler by its integral construction and blue anodization. Blue Dark Matter FatCarbon inlay adds a touch of class. Traditional Molletta design, this lightweight Italian folder is only held back by the slight difficulty it takes to disengage the lock. This knife looks like winter to me.
