The F1 Alpha is an everyday folder for people who need a knife that works every time, from the job site to the trailhead. Its 3.10" titanium-coated D2 blade has a modified straight-back profile, a full flat grind and a fine edge for quick, precise cuts. Ceramic ball bearings give the manual flipper a smooth, consistent action, a liner lock holds the blade securely, and the G10 and carbon fiber handle carries easily and grips with confidence. A glass breaker that doubles as a spacer and lanyard point rounds out a knife that is ready for whatever the day brings.

PEOPLE ARE ASKING

Can I switch the deep-carry pocket clip?

Yes, most of our knives are designed with both left and right-handed users in mind. The pocket clip comes pre-installed on the right side of F1 Alpha. We strongly recommend remounting the pocket clip for safety and ideal use.

Does the F1 Alpha have a glass breaker?

Yes, the F1 Alpha comes standard with a glass breaker that also acts as a spacer and a lanyard hole.

What type of lock does the F1 Alpha have?

F1 Alpha has a liner lock that's easy to access when needed but discreet enough not to get in the way during use. The liner lock has strategically placed jimping for a secure engagement when closing the blade.

Does the F1 Alpha open up smoothly?

Yes. Ceramic ball bearings give the F1 Alpha a smooth opening and an easy close. These premium bearings are long-lasting and durable to keep your knife running great for the long run.

Does the blade arrive sharpened?

Yes, all TEKTO knives are sharpened before they leave our facilities. However, all blades lose their edge after prolonged use and must be resharpened.

How do I sharpen my F1 Alpha?

Each edge is sharpened at a 15 degree angle. Match that angle with a guided sharpener or whetstone and use light, even strokes along the full length of the edge.

Is the F1 Alpha spring assisted?

No. The F1 Alpha is a manual flipper. You open it by hand with the flipper tab, and ceramic ball bearings keep the action smooth.

Amazing folding blade

I want to call out a few points that make this knife special. Beyond the absolutely stunning design, the ergonomics of the handle make this the best fit for my hand. The opening mechanism is the smoothest I’ve ever used. It is light, easy to use, and brilliant functionally.

Awesome

I love this knife. Lightweight carbon fiber frame feels very natural in the hand. Flicks open quickly and effortlessly. Razor sharp right out of the box. Cant put it down, my favorite new edc.

Love my F1 Alpha

A great EDC knife. The blade is strong. Small enough to carry around and very light. Something I’ve been looking for a long time. More than happy with this knife

Exactly the knife I was looking for

I purchased this knife for my father, who works both in an office setting where he receives a lot of packages, but also owns and works on a ranch. I needed to find a knife with solid steel quality, a classy look to reflect his style, long lasting components to do well on the ranch, and it also needed to be somewhat un-imposing to fit well as an office tool.

The F1 Alpha fit the bill in all of these ways. It is an incredibly well-built knife with superior components and a great black and brass color scheme. It is just big enough to be comfortable in large hands without being cumbersome, and it looks super sleek and modern to boot. I am very satisfied with this purchase and intend to purchase from Tekto more in the future.

Nice knife, crappy clip.

I received my F1 Alpha almost two weeks ago. At first glance, it's a beautiful knife. I am left handed, so I had to swap the clip to the opposite side. Unfortunately attaching the clip to the opposite side, the clip doesn't lay flat, thus the clip isn't secure and is constantly loose and moves. I re-attached three times just to be sure. The option is to replace the knife, the clip, or go to Home Depot for a gasket. Otherwise, I would've given the knife five stars.
