REMETTE Kestrel Frame Lock Timascus Folding Knife [RMTRTPOD]

A reverse-tanto folder with contrasting inlay

The Kestrel pairs the angular spine of a reverse-tanto blade with a titanium handle carrying a separate carbon-fiber inlay. That inlay supplies both the visible pattern and a material contrast across the grip. Thumb studs and the pivot-end tang offer opening access, while the clip gives the closed knife its pocket attachment. The exact carbon-fiber pattern is important to this edition; a neighboring color or weave is not an equivalent configuration.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.83" (72 mm) S35VN stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Gray titanium handle with Timascus inlay
• Mechanism: Frame Lock
• Pocket size: 4.25" (108 mm) closed

Materials and cutting character

S35VN is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed to balance wear resistance with toughness. It gives this blade a useful combination of edge life and resistance to corrosion for everyday cutting.

Titanium gives the handle a corrosion-resistant metal structure. The color and surface treatment describe its finish; they do not change the underlying handle metal.

Frame Lock explained

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.

Construction details

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