They say you shouldn’t mess with perfection… but you could certainly give it a new paint-job and make it look even better than before. Tekto’s flagship folding knives are getting a design refresh, with variants made with forged carbon and Damascus marbling accents. The new variants will be available for enthusiasts, EDC users, and collectors as a special spin on some old favorites.

The three knives getting a refresh are the F1 Alpha, the F2 Bravo, and the F3 Charlie – all a part of Tekto’s folding knife lineup. The company is best known for their OTF knives (Out The Front Knives), but folders remain a classic part of their catalog, catering to people who love sticking to the basics. All knives are designed as collector-worthy knives that pack an absolute punch. They’re compact, deadly, and built for all sorts of outdoor and tactical scenarios.

Tekto F1 Alpha (Forged Carbon Handle with Silver Blade)

As Tekto’s most fierce folder, the F1 Alpha gets first mention. The new knife boasts the exact same crowd-pleasing design, but with a forged carbon handle and a silver-finish D2 steel blade. The F1 Alpha measures a respectable 4.5 inches when closed, opening up to reveal a 3.1-inch drop-point blade that handles everyday tasks like a breeze. A liner lock holds the blade in place, and jimping on top gives you a perfect grip as you maneuver the knife around. The reverse end of the handle also features a lanyard hole that doubles as a glass-breaker, allowing you to make a quick exit in any emergency scenarios. The entire knife weighs a mere 3.3 ounces, has an ambidextrous pocket clip design, and even comes with its own carrying pouch.

Tekto F2 Bravo (Damascus Pattern Handle with Black Blade)

Don’t let the Bravo name fool you – this one is Tekto’s slimmest, sleekest, and lightest folder of the three. At just 2.4 ounces, it’s miraculously light, making it great for quick maneuvering while cutting ropes, opening boxes, whittling wood, or slicing through leather and fabric. The knife has a 4.3-inch handle that houses a folded 3.3-inch drop-point blade made from D2 steel that’s hard enough to take on any sort of activity. Although the original did come with a speckled carbon fiber handle, this new variant gets a marbled Damascus pattern, with the same black-coated blade to give the F2 Bravo an extremely covert demeanor. Makes sense given how thin and light it is. The F2 Bravo also comes with its own carrying pouch, although the built-in pocket clip and lanyard hole should also suffice.

Tekto F3 Charlie (Forged Carbon Handle with Black Blade)

At 4.5 ounces, the F3 Charlie is the big brother of the three. It comes with a 5.2-inch handle that houses a large 3.8-inch titanium-coated D2 steel blade on the inside. Fold the blade out and its drop-point design is just as functional as its siblings, but the larger form factor gives it much more heft and power. The renewed variant sports a forged carbon handle with the same black-coated blade that gives the knife a stealthy aesthetic. Holding the F3 Charlie feels vastly different from something like the Bravo, which has a much slimmer design. The F3 Charlie is meaty, ergonomic, and is made for tactical use although it’s more than happy being used for opening boxes too. It sports a button-lock, which gives it reliability too, while simultaneously having the tactile satisfaction of being able to quickly deploy or close your knife with a flick of the wrist!
