Begg Knives Astio Folding Knife Tan 3.5in Satin Recurved Tanto Blade BG009

The Begg Knives Astio Folding Knife is a precision-built tool designed for those who demand performance, reliability, and a refined tactical aesthetic in their everyday carry gear. Crafted through a collaboration between designer Jared Van Otterloo and the skilled team at Begg Knives, the Astio delivers custom-level quality with the ruggedness expected from a dependable EDC knife.

At the heart of the Astio is a 3.5-inch recurve tanto blade made from D2 tool steel, a high-carbon material known for its wear resistance and edge retention. The satin finish adds a clean, utilitarian look while the blade’s fuller reduces weight without compromising strength. Engineered for smooth manual deployment, the blade operates on a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system and opens swiftly via a low-profile flipper tab.

The Astio’s handle is constructed from contoured tan G-10, offering a secure grip and a lightweight feel without sacrificing durability. The stainless steel tip-up pocket clip features a ceramic ball detent, providing reliable retention for pocket carry. What sets this knife apart is Begg’s signature bolt-on stainless steel lock, featuring intricate fluting and matching machined holes that align with the blade’s design, creating a cohesive, visually striking appearance that underscores the knife's custom-inspired construction.

Closed, the knife measures 4.75 inches and weighs 4.85 ounces, striking a practical balance between portability and presence. Whether you're tackling daily utility tasks or need a knife capable of handling tougher jobs, the Astio stands ready with a blend of strength, comfort, and mechanical precision.

The Begg Knives Astio is built for those who want more from their EDC—a knife that doesn't just perform but also reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and quality. With its aggressive blade profile, robust materials, and standout design details, the Astio makes a bold statement in any collection or carry rotation.
