FLISSA Folding Knife Review: 14C28N Steel & Axis Lock Test

Most budget knives rely on semi-stainless D2 steel that is prone to rust, but the FLISSA folding knife challenges that standard with true 14C28N Sandvik steel. This video puts the axis-lock mechanism and linen micarta handle through a rigorous field test to see if the performance matches the specs. In this hybrid review, we break down the technical advantages of switching to Sandvik steel for outdoor use. While D2 is common at this price point, 14C28N was originally designed for razor blades, offering a finer grain structure for sharper edges and significantly higher corrosion resistance. We also test the linen micarta scales to see if the fabric-resin composite actually provides better grip when wet compared to standard G10 or plastic. The torture test includes wood carving, a water soak test for grip retention, and a debris check to ensure the axis-style lock remains reliable in dirty environments.
