Bastinelli Creations Alpha 1 Frame Lock Folding Knife [BC-ALPHA1]

Alpha 1 — An MDS collaboration with a machined grip

The Alpha 1 pairs a long working blade with a three-dimensionally machined front scale and titanium reverse side. Thumb studs provide opening purchase, while the glass-breaker feature and pocket clip have separate roles at the handle.

Opening and lock operation

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.

Steel and maintenance

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

Handle construction

G10 combines fiberglass with resin. The composite provides a stable scale structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine the grip’s feel.
