A new everyday carry utility knife has launched via Kickstarter this week in the form of the Helion Flip, which features a magnetic lock system and is crafted from exotic Kirinite and carbon fiber. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about its unique design and locking system.
Early bird pledges are available from CAD $118 or roughly £73 with worldwide shipping to certain countries expected to take place during February 2020. “The Helion Flip is pushing the boundaries of conventional folding knife design. Crafted around the ubiquitous utility blade and incorporating a fundamentally innovative magnetic detent and tool-less blade change system, the Helion is elevating the standards of what a utility folder should be. “
Innovative Design and Materials
The Helion Flip stands out not only for its functionality but also for its aesthetic appeal. The use of Kirinite, a material known for its vibrant colors and durability, combined with carbon fiber, gives the knife a unique and modern look. Kirinite is often used in high-end knife handles due to its resistance to cracking and its ability to be polished to a high gloss. Carbon fiber, on the other hand, is renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio, making the Helion Flip both lightweight and robust.
The magnetic lock system is another highlight of the Helion Flip. Traditional utility knives often rely on mechanical locks that can wear out over time. The magnetic lock system in the Helion Flip ensures a secure and reliable lock every time, reducing the risk of accidental blade closure. This innovative approach not only enhances safety but also adds to the knife’s sleek design.
Practicality and Everyday Use
The Helion Flip is designed with practicality in mind. The tool-less blade change system allows users to quickly and easily replace the blade without the need for additional tools. This feature is particularly useful for those who use their utility knife frequently and need to change blades on the go. The precision CNC milled solid G10 frame adds to the knife’s durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily use.
Moreover, the Helion Flip’s compact size makes it an ideal everyday carry item. It can easily fit into a pocket or a small bag, making it accessible whenever needed. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting materials for a DIY project, or performing other everyday tasks, the Helion Flip is designed to be a reliable companion.
“We’ve integrated advanced carbon fiber composites with the exotic look of Kirinite, both paired with a precision CNC milled solid G10 frame to create an unforgettable and stunning design aesthetic unlike any other utility knife. Ronin designed and produced from the bottom-up, the Helion will command attention and turn heads wherever you use it, but most importantly it will be one of the most useful tools in your daily carry.”
The Helion Flip is not just a tool; it’s a statement piece. Its combination of advanced materials, innovative design, and practical features make it a standout in the world of utility knives. Whether you’re a collector, a DIY enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates well-designed tools, the Helion Flip is worth considering.
