The Superlock mechanism by Malaysian knifemaker Snecx Tan is relatively new to the folding knife scene, but it’s quickly become one of our favorites, making the the Tactile Knife Co. Chupacabra check all our boxes when it comes to features we’d like to see on a folding knife. It uses a coil spring and a lock bar on the knife’s spine that allows for easy and ambidextrous one-handed operation. The Chupacabra’s design allows you to disassemble the knife with a simple T8 torx driver, making it easy to maintain. Its 3.30” sheepsfoot blade is crafted from MagnaCut, a premium steel highly sought after by many knife enthusiasts for providing exceptional cutting performance and durability while minimizing tradeoffs found on other steels on the market. The anodized 7075 aluminum handles ensure a lightweight yet robust build, providing a comfortable grip for any cutting task. Swap out the stainless steel clip with the optional Lynch Northwest Titanium Clip upgrade and you’ve got a complete knife package that we wouldn’t mind having in a one-knife collection.
