If you’ve been looking for a pocket knife lately, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the “Colibri Knife.” The Colibri knife is famous for its lightweight design, sharp double color, and its compact structure making it the ideal everyday carry.

This new addition was designed in 2022 by Max Tkachuk, a famous Ukrainian graphic & industrial designer who works with many knife manufacturers. In partnership with Shieldon, the designer used his skills and ability to build this articulate knife that is both utilitarian and visually beautiful, inspired by his real curiosity for knives since childhood.

Let’s take a look at some of the design features that make the Colibri knife a must-have pocket knife.

Overall Weight

The Colibri knife weighs a total of 69g/2.42 oz. It offers an unencumbered feel. Its overall lightweight design is intended for portability and meets the fundamental EDC knife requirements.

Handle Craft

The style colors of the Colibri Pocket knife handle were inspired by the designer’s native country, Ukraine.

The handle is constructed of G10 material,  featuring a blue and yellow handle and backspacer,  which adds vibrancy and individuality through color matching. When not in use, it may also be utilized as a decorative item rather than just a tool for outdoor survival. This also accounts for eye-catching grip protection.

On the overall design, the handle is equipped with one SS416 T8 size screw, resulting in a straightforward assembly and clean look.

Blade Craft Features

The Colibri knife features a 154CM long blade. It also employs the most cost-effective quality steel, which has an ideal mix of corrosion resistance and hardness. What more could you ask for?

The knife has a Stonewash finish and flat grinding on the blade, giving it a rough and striking appearance. This design allows the knife to do a variety of tasks, from cutting and chopping to slicing and filleting.

The knife has a drop-point blade design on the tip and a distinctive spin swedge on the blade to reduce thickness and improve piercing, making it ideal for most everyday activities.

Last but not least, while unpacking, the angular 15-20 sharpened angle keeps the best usage immediately on hands. This ensures a solid grip and comfort while in use.

Opening Mechanism

The knife has a ceramic ball bearing and a smooth, easy-to-open front flipper. This mechanism works by bringing leverage closer to the knife’s pivot, allowing the knife to open more smoothly and quickly.

Locking Mechanism

The knife is equipped with a nestler liner lock mechanism. This locking mechanism has the added advantage of being both safe to use and reasonably simple to produce. You may also operate it with one hand.

When the designer contacted the company with the new Colibri design, our team of professionals was excited.

It was beautiful and intricate, and the designers knew it could be used to build something spectacular. The professional team analyzed the viability of several constructions and material possibilities and devised a strategy for bringing the concept to life.

The end result is spectacular; the blade of the knife is made with a creative and functional graphic design and is made of sturdy metal.

The 3D diagram lets the team of engineers fine-tune details and see how the knife will appear. Our team improved the design of the knife’s handle, blade, and backspacer.

The team made final material selections at this point. The handle is G10 and the blade is 154CM steel.

Together with the designer, our experts were able to come up with the first concept. Afterward, the group soon refined several details and features. Our team considered the knife’s interior designs and constructions.

The titanium pocket clip complemented the knife’s elegant design. Stainless steel screws are durable and rust-resistant. The inside design was altered to a nested liner lock since it is prevalent nowadays.

The team finalized the knife’s size. The blade has to be long enough to be helpful yet not awkward.

Instead of a survival knife, the experts want to make the Colibri more lifelike and stylish. It has to be inexpensive without sacrificing quality or elegance.

After that, the blade, handle, clip, size, and backspace were conceptualized. The expert unit chose the blade’s steel and stonewash finish.

Due to customer preferences, the EDC folding knife’s pivot is significant. The flipper tab may open the blade easily if the pivot is well-made. Our pivot is adjustable for various individuals.

Our firm wants to stand out, therefore, went with a distinctive yet sophisticated appearance. With that, the “Shieldon” logo was customized on the pivot screw.

Once assembled, the team of specialists tested the knife and assessed whether the knife’s color matched its overall polish.

On the scale and backspacer, our team agreed on using cornflower blue and lemon G10. This influenced Max’s Ukrainian apartments. A black stonewash blade added sophistication.

Each element’s size and structure were checked and examined the knife’s operation and flipping movement to ensure it was an EDC.

After several phases, our company presents the Shieldon Colibri knife. It’s portable and stylish. This was built for everyday usage, whether at work or on an excursion.

The Colibri knife combines design, practicality and fashion. It’s a terrific present for EDC-knife fans. Our team overcomes problems by working together. It’s a vanguard knife.

The Colibri Knife is a must-have. It’s stylish and easy to hold. Our staff made sure it was high-quality and satisfied EDC knife criteria. Shieldon’s team of reliable experts made it economical by heart without sacrificing quality or design.
