FABLADES

This titanium-bolstered version of the RJ Martin Q36 is a classic representation of the model that won “Best Tactical Folder” at the Blade Show. While your previous listing featured the more exotic “dress” zirconium, this configuration leans into the high-performance, lightweight tactical roots of the design.

The Benchmark Action

The Q36 is often called the “gold standard” for flipper knives.

• Detent: RJ Martin is famous for tuning detents to a “rocket-like” consistency. This knife requires no wrist flick; the blade deploys with a signature acoustic “clack” and immense speed.

• Bearings: It runs on a high-speed bearing system that provides smooth, friction-free movement, allowing the blade to fire reliably every time.

Lightweight Tactical Build

By utilizing titanium instead of zirconium, this build offers a more traditional tactical feel and a significant weight advantage.

• Bolsters & Fittings: The Titanium bolsters and hardware provide a high strength-to-weight ratio. The “light marks” mentioned on the bolsters are typical for titanium, as it develops a natural patina or “snail trails” over time, which many collectors feel adds character to a tool designed for use.

• Scales: Carbon Fiber (CF) scales further reduce the overall carry weight while offering a sleek, modern texture that complements the matte grey of the titanium.

Condition and Practicality

• Condition: Excellent. Aside from the light bolster marks, the knife is mechanically sound and retains its high-performance factory integrity.

• Blade Geometry: RJ Martin’s signature Recurve blade is present here, providing a versatile cutting edge that excels at draw cuts and heavy-duty tasks.
