Dulotec K256-BR Folding Knife – a lightweight and reliable EDC knife

The Dulotec K256-BR is an extremely lightweight folding knife designed for everyday use. The handle is made of Micarta—a material known for its durability, light weight, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes.

The dimensions are well-balanced—the knife is compact enough to carry easily, yet large enough for most everyday tasks. The liners are made of polished stainless steel with cut-out holes to reduce weight.

D2 tool steel

D2 steel is characterized by excellent wear resistance. It contains chromium, carbon, vanadium, and manganese, making it the preferred choice for abrasive cutting. It is hardened to 60–61 HRC and ensures a long-lasting cutting edge.

Micarta – handle material

Micarta is made from flax or canvas impregnated with epoxy resins. Its layered structure, bonded by resins, makes it durable and rigid. A Micarta handle does not break or chip easily, regardless of how it is used.

Bearings

The built-in bearings are made of hard steel and hard phosphor bronze. They ensure smooth and easy opening of the blade, which is always properly centered.

Liner Lock – locking mechanism

The Liner Lock is one of the most common locking mechanisms used in folding knives. A side spring on the inside of the handle slides to lock the blade in the open position. To release it, press it to the side with your thumb—without changing your grip.

The knife can be closed with one hand, which is convenient for tasks that require the use of both hands.

Flipper – Quick One-Finger Unlock

Flipper knives open using a tab that protrudes from the spine of the blade. The surface is slightly textured for better grip. The knife opens with a sliding motion of the index finger—quickly and intuitively.

Advantages of the Flipper mechanism:

• Ease of Use
• One-handed opening
• Quick Unfolding
• Streamlined profile for better handling
