Pro-Tech Mordax - BST26 Navy / Smoky Grey DLC 20CV

Blade Show Texas exclusive. Navy aluminum. Smoky Grey DLC. One of the dopest Mordax configurations out there.

The Mordax is a Ferrum Forge collaboration that Pro-Tech turned into one of the most satisfying button lock flippers in production. The design is clean and minimal, the flipper action is addictive, and the button lock detent system is one of the first of its kind on a production flipper. This version came back from Blade Show Texas 2026 in a navy aluminum handle with a smoky grey DLC 20CV blade. The combination works. Navy and smoky grey don't fight each other, and the white pearl button gives it just enough contrast to stand out without overdoing it.

A Flipper That Actually Delivers The Mordax was designed by Ferrum Forge and built by Pro-Tech, which means you get one of the best design studios in the custom knife world combined with one of the most consistent production houses in America.

• Drop shut closure with a single button press
• Flipper tab doubles as a finger guard when open
• Bearing pivot for smooth, consistent deployment

It's addicting to open and close. That's not an accident.

Navy Handle, Smoky Grey Blade This configuration doesn't show up in the standard lineup.

• Solid navy 6061 aluminum handle
• Smoky grey DLC coated 20CV blade
• White pearl button for contrast
• Blasted hardware and blasted deep carry clip throughout

The finish choices are cohesive and purposeful. Everything matches the way it's supposed to.

CPM-20CV Blade Steel 20CV is a high-performance stainless steel that sits at the top of the wear resistance conversation.

• Exceptional edge retention for extended daily use
• Strong corrosion resistance
• Takes and holds a refined edge well

The smoky grey DLC coating adds an additional layer of corrosion protection and gives the blade a low-glare, purpose-built look.

Button Lock Flipper The Mordax uses Pro-Tech's tuned button lock detent system, the first of its kind on a production flipper when it launched.

• Crisp, satisfying break when the flipper fires
• Button releases the blade for a clean, gravity-assisted close
• No springs to fatigue, no secondary mechanism needed

Blade Show Texas 2026 This is not a standard production colorway. The navy handle and smoky grey DLC 20CV blade are specific to this show run. Once these are gone, this configuration is gone with them.

Made in the USA Pro-Tech has been building knives in Placentia, California since 1994. Every Mordax is machined and assembled in-house to Pro-Tech's own tolerances. It shows in the action and the fit.

Why This One Stands Out The Mordax is already one of the best production button lock flippers available. The Blade Show Texas version adds a color combination that doesn't exist anywhere else and a blade steel that pushes edge retention even further.

This is a show knife that carries like an everyday knife. Those don't last.
