CRKT Gravitic Flip™ Manual Knife
R706.00
A throwback brought forward.
The Gravitic Flip™ (e.g. GRA-vi-tick) revives a little-known piece of knife history with a modern twist. Designed by Ted Valerio, founder of Teval Knives, this manual action knife channels the ingenuity of the original “Flip It” knives—once a rare curiosity, now re-imagined for today’s everyday carry.
Description
The CRKT Gravitic Flip™ lightweight, clever, and endlessly fidgetable, a manual knife with modern mechanical ingenuity reinterpreting the vintage ‘Flip It’ concept of yesteryear. Unlike spring-driven knives, it uses a vintage-inspired flip-insert mechanism powered by magnets and a swinging bar, without any springs or buttons. A quick flick sends the double-edged spear-point blade forward, while recessed tabs lock the insert securely into the handle. When closed, hidden magnets keep the blade safely seated, delivering a smooth, reliable deployment, quick and one-handed once you master the skill. Minimalist design, low-profile, built for everyday carry, rides deep in the pocket with a sleek carry clip, while the integrated lanyard hole allows for personal accents.
Designed by Ted Valerio of Teval Knives in Montrose, Colorado, the Gravitic reflects a lifetime of mechanical curiosity, precision engineering, and real-world tool experience. A former law enforcement officer and specialized team leader, Valerio brings a sharp analytical eye to every design, creating knives with purpose, durability, and true mechanical integrity.
Unlike spring-driven versions, this knife uses a vintage-inspired flip insert mechanism. A quick flick of the insert deploys the dual-edge spearpoint blade forward, where tabs on the insert recess into the handle to lock it firmly in place. Recessed magnets on the insert keep the blade secure when closed, giving you smooth, reliable action without the need for springs or buttons.
The lightweight CRKT Gravitic Flip™ proves that sometimes looking back is the best way forward.
