CRKT Gravitic Flip FAQ

Designed by Ted Valerio, the CRKT Gravitic Flip is a modern manual out-the-front knife inspired by vintage “funny folder” promotional tools. It offers a unique, spring-free deployment mechanism that is highly fidget-friendly and mechanically simple.

How does the CRKT Gravitic Flip deployment work?
The Gravitic Flip uses a manual slide mechanism where a portion of the handle hinges open to allow the blade to slide forward. It does not use springs or buttons like an automatic OTF; instead, it relies on manual movement and magnets to keep the handle cover secure during use and carry.
Is the CRKT Gravitic Flip a gravity knife?
No, the Gravitic Flip is not a gravity knife or an automatic. It is a manual out-the-front folder that requires the user to physically manipulate the handle scales to deploy the blade, though gravity can be used to help the blade slide into position once the latch is opened.
What materials are used in the Gravitic Flip series?
The Gravitic Flip series typically features 5Cr steel blades and Glass-Reinforced Nylon (GRN) handles. These materials are chosen to keep the knife lightweight and affordable, with variants often featuring a black stonewashed finish for added corrosion resistance and a tactical look.
Is the Gravitic Flip suitable for everyday carry?
Yes, the Gravitic Flip is designed for EDC and includes a deep carry pocket clip for discreet transport. While its unique mechanism is a primary draw for enthusiasts and fidgeters, the 3.18-inch blade is fully capable of handling standard daily cutting tasks.
Who designed the Gravitic Flip?
The series was designed by Ted Valerio of Teval Knives. His design reimagines rare historical promotional knives into a modern, reliable tool that provides a novel alternative to traditional folding or locking mechanisms.
