Cold Steel Grivory Paradox Knife Review
Cold Steel Grivory Paradox Knife Feature
- Knife designed to mimic traditional Balisong, in every respect but one -- it can't be opened with one hand; critical distinction makes it completely legal
- Twin handles feature two integral springs, similar to conventional slip joint folder, designed to rotate 180 degrees around blade's unique split tang
- Strong opposing spring tension locks blade open or holds firmly closed; leaf-shaped blade is hollow ground from imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel
- 5.8-ounce weight, 3.5-millimeter blade thickness, 4.5-inch blade length, 9.75-inch Grivory handle, and 11.875-inch overall length
- Warranted against defects in materials and workmanship; details included with purchase
The elegant, leaf-shaped blade is hollow ground from imported Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel, and, due to the latest advances in heat treatment, it offers a thin, keen edge that lasts. Skeletonized handles are CNC machined from solid billets of 6061 aluminum, and feature a hard-anodized coating to reduce scratches and oxidation. An attached clip provides a convenient carrying solution.

About Cold Steel
Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, with the goal of making the strongest, sharpest cutlery in the world for knife enthusiasts. Over the last three-plus decades, the company has been at the forefront of many design innovations that have helped innovate the knife industry, including introduction of checked Kraton handles, and the tanto point blade styles which have become industry hallmarks of quality and sophistication.
The Paradox is designed from the ground up to specifically mimic a traditional Balisong or Butterfly knife in every respect but one it can't be opened with one hand! That's right, the Paradox® is not a switchblade, gravity knife, or assisted opener and can't be opened without the use of both hands. So, while it looks and feels like a classic Butterfly knife, it isn't. It's a legal Balisong! Its twin handles feature two integral springs that are similar to a conventional slip joint folder. They are designed to rotate 180 degrees around the blade's unique split tang and use strong opposing spring tension to lock the blade open or hold it firmly closed. Don't worry about it taking two hands to get it into action, since once it's opened it will never close inadvertently. Plus, its locking mechanism is impervious to spine whack and the most violent stresses and shocks imaginable. Every detail of the Paradox® is a testament to Cold Steel's renowned craftsmanship. The leaf shaped blade is hollow ground from imported Japanese AUS 8A Stainless (instead of the cheap steel used by our competitors) and, due to the latest advances in heat treatment, it offers a thin, ultra keen edge that lasts. The skeletonized handles are CNC machined from solid billets of 6061 aluminum (instead of being cheaply cast out of zinc) and feature a hard-anodized coating to reduce scratches and oxidation. If you're a Balisong fan, but don't want to take the risk of being arrested, the Paradox® is a terrific alternative. Clip it to your waistband or pocket where it screams "CUSTOM HAND MADE BALISONG".
