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.
