TRIVISA Arae-03 Lockback Black Folding Knife [TVTY27BG14]

A back-lock alternative in the range

The Arae uses a back lock, making its release control different from TRIVISA's crossbar and button-operated models. A thumb stud provides blade-opening purchase without changing that locking arrangement. The in-house design pairs a drop-point blade with a relatively long handle and a ceramic-bearing pivot.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.38" 14C28N Sandvik stainless
• Handle: Black G10
• Mechanism: Lockback
• Pocket size: 4.5" (11.43cm) 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.

Lockback explained

A locking rocker along the spine holds the blade open. Pressing the exposed release portion disengages it for folding, so the control is reached along the back of the handle.

Construction details

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