Page 2 - Tekto F3 Charlie Folding Knife Reviews

Its crazy how Tekto Knives has become my favorite knife brand, seemingly overnight. I have several ZT knives, Benchmade, SOG, but none compare to the overall practicality and aesthetics from Tekto. This knife in particular is a beast. A Sexy, Elegant, powerhouse of a knife. Am I mildly aroused by this knife? No...but kinda. I have the Alpha, Bravo, and now the Charlie and I have to say this is hands down my favorite. The OD green is absolutely beautiful, the button lock is smooth and is very easy to get used to. The overall ergonomics are incredibly comfortable, while still looking amazing. 10/10 Easy. Just wish I could've gotten my hands on the Damascus!!!! But that's a purchase for another day. Will always buy from Tekto from now on.

Smooth opening , comfortable hand fit.

Great knife. Very comfortable in the hand!

I think this is a great knife the only thing I wish is that the blade was a little thicker. Butl this thing is a slicer for sure. Has been my every day carry since I received it

Very smooth action and feels sturdy. Easy open and close with one hand. I like the size as well.

Feels good in my hand, very quick actuation upon drawing. Feels comfortable with good weight, highly recommend

Always was worried about being out in the woods and nipping a finger when closing a flip blade. This is the answer. Closes with one hand, opens effortlessly. Perfect size for everything I have wanted to use it for on a campout. Thing is S H A R P and holds it's edge well. Cleans up easily and the pocket clip keeps it where it put it. I have both Black and Damascus (one for the beach, one for the campsite). The black handle is just what it looks like. The Damascus looks even better in person than from the photos. Both offer a good don't slip in my hand. Do It.

Excellent knife pattern on handle looks real nice it's light weight not bulky

The F3 Charlie is a wonderful piece of kit. Very sharp out of the box, wonderful balance and great feel in the hand.
This lovely work of art has become my EDC. ( I have well over 60 knives)
Will be looking to purchase another Tekto in the near future.
Keep up the good work

This knife is a heavy duty pocket knife very nice
well made.

I was slightly unsure of the F3 at first, but once I held it in my hand and flipped it open, I knew it was the edc tool I was looking for. The G10 scales are perfect, offering perfect grip and fit. Opening: the blade opens swiftly with any of three different actions - with the flipper, a firm wrist flick, or via pressing the release and lightly swinging the blade out. Working: the blade arrived with an absolute ideal sharp grind, perfectly even over the whole length, and the D2 coating is completely even; the shape, with a slight forward belly, is far more useful for ordinary edc tasks than most other modern clip-point or drop-point blades, and I find the F3 length to be virtually ideal. Closing: the release is crisp and safe, reliably locking when it should, and reliably unlocking with a good tactile feedback when it's time to put it away. And lastly, the clip is a nice, thick, no-nonsense, clip that isn't going to be bent out of shape and will never lose tension.



I have been looking for a modernized version of my decades-old edc (a Benchmade-Caracci AFCK), and this is absolutely that knife - what a fantastic improvement for edc, in every possible way.



Thanks, Tekto!!

I love this knife. So fast and smooth and awesome in my pocket. Keep up the great work Tekto.

Love it. Large blade yet quite light.

Like push button .

Bold / Robust / Silky smooth action. Just to have this thing in hand inspires the User's confidence.
As always, Yet another Quality move from Tekto. If you want to make, not just a wise purchase, but an investment in hard work and production Strength you can pass down to another generation, you can not go wrong with A Tekto Knife.

Says it's a D2, not a F3, which is a little weird.



Not being able to shift the clip to the left is annoying.



I didn't pay attention to how big it was, so having it be about 4 is bigger than I expected or want.



The other blades you sell weren't quite the right shape, so I haven't been interested in buying one. Getting a silver blade or a left clip for the Charlie would be nice.

It is a high quality device that actually exceeded my expectations - I have purchased other Tekto knives, but this was certainly the best of breed!

This knife is good looking and has a larger blade than most. It is light weight and feels good in your hand! I will definitely buy another.

Great work Knife! Does the job well, it's D2 and cost effective enough so you're not afraid to hand it to that guy at work who never had his own. Didn't learn that lesson I guess! Came sharp and edge seems to hold up well so far.

Not only is this F3 Charlie aesthetically pleasing, it has great action and just feels amazing in the hand. The weight of the knife is absolutely perfect. I own several reputable brand knives, however, those are now in the knife roll. The F3 Charlie will now be my number one EDC and I look forward to what Tekto has to offer in the future. When they say they design ""purpose-built knives"", they mean it.
Well done and thank you.

I've had this for about a week now and have carried it everyday. It's a big working knife that doesn't feel as big as it is. The Damascus G-10 is gorgeous. It's absolutely butter smooth on the deployment and lockup is strong. The only room for improvement is the grind on the blade where it interacts with the button lock when open is a little rough so it doesn't have nearly as smooth of a disengagement as the rest of the action.
