CRKT Gravitic Flip Manual OTF

Lightweight, clever, and endlessly fidgetable, a manual Out-The-Front knife with modern mechanical ingenuity reinterpreting the vintage 'Flip It' concept of yesteryear. Unlike spring-driven OTF knives, it uses a vintage-inspired flip-insert mechanism powered by magnets and a swinging bar, without any springs or buttons. A quick flick sends the double-edged spearpoint blade forward, while recessed tabs lock the insert securely into the handle. When closed, hidden magnets keep the blade safely seated, delivering a smooth, reliable deployment, quick and one-handed once you master the skill. Minimalist design, low-profile, built for everyday carry, rides deep in the pocket with a sleek carry clip, while the integrated lanyard hole allows for personal accents.

Designed by Ted Valerio of Teval Knives in Montrose, Colorado, the Gravitic Flip reflects a lifetime of mechanical curiosity, precision engineering, and real-world tool experience. A former law enforcement officer and SWAT sniper team leader, Valerio brings a sharp analytical eye to every design, creating knives with purpose, durability, and true mechanical integrity.
