TEKTO Knives has partnered with EOTECH, the American maker of holographic sights and precision optics, on the F1 Alpha EOTECH Edition, a limited-run folding knife that puts EOTECH's name on our simplest and most carried folder.
It is a knife for anyone who values a tool that works: first responders, people who spend their days outdoors, and anyone who wants one good folder in the pocket.
What It Is
The F1 Alpha EOTECH Edition starts from the standard F1 Alpha and keeps what makes it good. The blade is 3.10 inches of D2 tool steel under a titanium coating, in a modified straight-back profile that slices cleanly and keeps a strong tip for utility work. D2 holds an edge for a long time. The coating keeps weather off it.
The handle is G10, a glass-fiber laminate that stays grippy wet or dry and does not care about cold. The knife runs 7.78 inches open and weighs 3.3 ounces, with a liner lock that has been the F1's lock since the beginning, an ambidextrous pocket clip, and a glass breaker built into the handle.
Why EOTECH
EOTECH has made optics since 1996 and built its name on gear that performs under hard use. That is the standard we build folders to, and it made the pairing a natural one: a simple, reliable knife in the livery of a simple, reliable sight.
A Knife for Every Day
Compact and light enough to carry without noticing, strong enough for real work: boxes, cord, strapping, the chores of a job site or a campsite. The F1 Alpha is the knife we recommend to people buying their first good folder, and the EOTECH Edition is that knife with a story on the handle. Our folding knife guide explains what to look for in a folder and why the F1 checks the list.
Limited Release
The EOTECH Edition is a limited run. When it is gone, the standard F1 Alpha remains the same tool in other handle options.
