TRIVISA Andromeda Button Liner Lock Red Folding Knife [TVYD02RG14]

A small folder with a button-operated liner lock

The Andromeda compresses a drop-point blade and button-operated liner lock into one of TRIVISA's smaller folding formats. The blade cutout gives opening purchase without requiring a large external stud. A ceramic-bearing pivot accompanies the compact mechanism. This makes it a different carrying proposition from the full-size models in the range: the short handle and blade should be considered together when judging fit for everyday tasks.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.25" 14C28N Sandvik stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Red G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 3.13" (7.95cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

14C28N is a stainless knife steel developed around edge stability, corrosion resistance and straightforward resharpening. It is a practical choice for a knife that sees regular cutting and routine touch-ups.

The drop-point profile combines a curved cutting belly with a lowered tip, giving it a versatile outline for slicing and controlled point work.

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
