Protech Knives 5201 Malibu Flipper
Highlighted by its silky smooth action and featherweight nature, the Malibu is an EDC force to be reckoned with. The reverse tanto blade is especially good at utility tasks with a slight belly and strong useful tip. The ergonomic handle is milled aluminum with a tapered shape and finger grooves that really allow for a solid, non-slip grip. The deep carry clip is set-up for right-hand, tip-up carry and a tiny lanyard hole is built into the single-pieces handle scales/backspacer. It reminds us a bit of a Kershaw Leek and a Benchmade 940…two of the best EDC knives available and we think it’ll find a home alongside those powerhouses in no time. This model features a stonewashed blade and black aluminum scales.
