TRIVISA Skarn Crossbar Lock Ti Folding Knife [TVJM11WM]

Fabian Hobbelen's geometric crossbar design

Fabian Hobbelen named the Skarn after metamorphic rock shaped by pressure and transformation. TRIVISA describes the model's clean geometry and inside-out scale pattern as purposeful elements of the design, with the pattern also removing material from the handle. A modified-tanto blade and crossbar mechanism bring those visual ideas into a practical pocket folder.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.88" Bohler M390 stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Silver titanium
• Mechanism: Crossbar Lock
• Pocket size: 3.75" (9.53cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

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.

The reverse-tanto profile angles the spine down toward the point while retaining a useful cutting edge beneath it. The result is a distinct tip geometry for controlled utility work.

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.

Crossbar Lock explained

A transverse bar engages the blade to hold it open. Pulling the bar back releases the blade for folding; the release sits near the pivot rather than along the cutting-edge channel.

Construction details

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