Green aluminum. DLC Reverse Tanto. The Malibu in its boldest look.

The Pro-Tech Malibu is one of the most popular manual button lock flippers on the American market. The 5403-Green puts a green anodized aluminum handle against an all-black hardware suite and a DLC black MagnaCut reverse tanto blade, creating one of the sharpest-looking color combinations in the Malibu lineup. The reverse tanto profile gives the blade a reinforced tip geometry and a strong flat primary edge, and the DLC finish adds surface hardness on top of MagnaCut's already exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Ball bearing pivot, button lock with tuned detent, flipper tab deployment. No springs, so the Malibu is legal to carry in many more states than an automatic. Made in Placentia, California.

The Malibu's action is what people talk about. The ball bearing pivot and tuned button lock detent combine to produce a flip that requires very little force to initiate and a lockup that is solid and positive every time. The green handle with all-black hardware is one of the cleanest configurations in the lineup.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The green Malibu is the one that catches eyes in the tray. The DLC reverse tanto against the green aluminum is a strong combination, and the Malibu's action is one of the best reasons to own a manual flipper at any price. MagnaCut under DLC, California made. This one is worth carrying.
