When it comes to high-end everyday carry blades and hard-use tactical tools, Portland-based outfit TEKTO has earned an enviable reputation for crafting crisp, reliable folding knives.

Now, the brand enters an exciting new chapter with the launch of the TEKTO X1 // ATLAS Knife—their very first fixed blade and the undisputed flagship of their entire lineup.

Engineered from the ground up to move effortlessly between tough field tasks and daily cutting duties, the ATLAS brings full-tang American manufacturing to the forefront.

Priced at $249.99 (~£190), this purpose-built fixed blade balances high-grade metallurgy with ultra-lightweight ergonomics, making it an essential addition for wilderness adventurers and EDC purists alike.

Premium CPM MagnaCut Steel & Full-Tang Integrity

At the core of the X1 // ATLAS is a 3.30-inch (84mm) drop point blade forged from CPM MagnaCut—widely regarded as the holy grail of modern knife steels. Engineered by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, MagnaCut delivers a rare combination of exceptional toughness, extreme edge retention, and outstanding corrosion resistance that outperforms traditional stainless steels.

Hardened to 60-62 HRC, the blade holds a razor-sharp edge through heavy-duty chopping, slicing, and bushcraft prep without chipping.

Built around a robust full-tang construction, the steel extends continuously from the tip of the drop point blade right through to the base of the handle.

This solid, unified piece of metal ensures the ATLAS can withstand heavy lateral pressure, batoning wood, or demanding field work without structural failure.

Skeletonised G10 Ergonomics & Lightweight Carry

Despite its unyielding full-tang strength, the TEKTO X1 // ATLAS avoids the heavy, cumbersome weight that plagues many traditional fixed-blade camp knives. TEKTO achieved this by implementing skeletonised G10 handle scales.

By precision-machining internal weight-reduction pockets into the G10 fibreglass substrate, the knife weighs in at a nimble 3.88 ounces (110 grams).

“By pairing full-tang American-made CPM MagnaCut steel with skeletonised G10 handles, TEKTO delivers a fixed-blade knife that combines heavy-duty survival strength with effortless everyday carry lightness.”

The textured G10 scales provide a secure, tactile grip across wet or freezing conditions, while the slim 0.47-inch (12mm) handle profile sits comfortably in the palm during extended carving tasks.

An integrated lanyard hole at the pommel allows for custom paracord attachments or quick drawer retrieval.

Custom Kydex Sheath & Versatile Field Carry

A hard-use fixed blade is only as good as its sheath system, and TEKTO spared no expense here.

The ATLAS comes equipped with a custom-moulded Kydex sheath designed specifically to lock the blade firmly in place with an audible, confidence-inspiring click.

The low-profile sheath features an adjustable belt clip, allowing for versatile vertical, horizontal, or scout-style carry configurations on your belt, backpack straps, or tactical webbing.
