AVAIR M390 Framelock Folding Knife (Jet-Black PVD Coated 6AL-4V Titanium) (3-5 day lead time)
The AVAIR folding knife is finally here! With over 2+ years of design and R&D I'm pleased to say that this knife finally embodies everything I wanted in a perfectly designed minimal EDC folder knife. Optional SKIFF bearings and fully skeletonized 6AL-4V Titanium scales surrounding our custom compound ground Böhler M390 blade make this knife a true high-end folding knife contender. The timeless design and minimal architecture of the AVAIR isn't something you see in most high-end folders until now — this isn't just another folding knife, it's truly outstanding!

The Ultimate Premium Folder For Your Inner Minimalist
I designed the AVAIR to perfectly embody everything I wanted in an ultimate titanium framelock folder. With over 2 years in development and countless improved prototypes, the AVAIR now stands as a true work of art and style with an eye on minimalism. It's unique subtle but minimal pyramid-wedge profile makes it highly unique, but also highly ergonomic in the hand. I worked hard to incorporate both straight and curved lines while maintaining a cohesive modern and minimal design that will last and look good for a lifetime. Every detail has been taken into consideration, from the optimized weight-reduced skeletonized and CNC contoured 6AL-4V Titanium scales, to the real BÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN blade steel imported from Kapfenberg, Austria. Our custom turned screws are also fully contoured to the body and machined in place for near zero tolerances. This isn't an easy knife to make, but with each use, I believe the AVAIR will exceed all expectations as the ultimate high-end titanium frame lock knife.
