Fast, Clean, and Built for Everyday Use

The Pro-Tech Malibu is one of the most sought-after American-made flippers on the market, combining smooth button-lock action, tight machining, and Pro-Tech’s unmistakable precision. Each Malibu is cut, ground, and hand-assembled in Southern California, delivering a snappy, glass-smooth action that’s become the standard for button-lock folders.

Machined from lightweight 7075 aluminum and powered by a MagnaCut blade, the Malibu balances performance and carry comfort. Whether you choose the FDE Dragon Scale, Smooth Black, Smooth Blue, or any other variant, you’re getting the same crisp lockup, flawless fit, and clean, minimal design that has made the Malibu a favorite among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Refined Design, Pro-Tech Performance

The Malibu’s wharncliffe and sheepsfoot blades glide open with a simple flick of the flipper tab, locking securely with a button lock that feels tuned to perfection. The MagnaCut blade steel offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it ready for real use while still maintaining a sleek, modern profile.

The FDE Dragon Scale version introduces custom milling for enhanced grip and visual texture, while the smooth black and blue models keep things classic — anodized, durable, and understated.
