Flytanium Lean BEEF Crossbar Lock 3.50 Inch PMX Stonewash Blade Digital Green Polycarbonate Handle FLY1511DGS UPC 645490983879
Product Description
The Flytanium® Lean BEEF – Digital Green (SKU: FLY-1511DGS / UPC: 645490983879) streamlines Flytanium's overbuilt flagship folder into a lightweight, high-performance everyday carry platform. Designed for knife enthusiasts, backcountry adventurers, and EDC specialists who want full-sized blade geometry without burdensome pocket weight, the Lean BEEF drops overall mass to just 3.70 ounces while retaining exceptional lockup rigidity and smooth one-handed crossbar action.
The blade is crafted from advanced PMX powder metallurgy stainless steel, heat-treated to an impressive 62–64 HRC. Chemically balanced as an equivalent to CPM MagnaCut, PMX combines nitrogen, vanadium, and niobium to offer superior edge longevity, remarkable apex toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. With its stock thickness slimmed down to 0.100 inches and a 4.6-degree primary flat grind, this 3.50-inch drop point profile delivers slicing performance that outperforms heavy-stock work knives, while the tumbled stonewash finish masks hard-use abrasions and eliminates glare.
Complementing the high-end metallurgy is a rugged, modern chassis featuring translucent Digital Green polycarbonate scales with molded grip texturing, nested steel liners, and a black Mohawk backspacer. The blade deploys effortlessly on caged steel ball bearings via dual anodized aluminum thumb studs, securing under Flytanium's ambidextrous crossbar locking mechanism. Outfitted with unified T8 410 stainless steel Torx screws and a reversible deep-carry tip-up pocket clip, the Lean BEEF delivers full-size ergonomics in a remarkably light, customizable setup.
*Bladesmith Bench Notes & Field Maintenance Guidance:*
Deployment, Carry & Metallurgy Advisory: The Lean BEEF operates on an ambidextrous crossbar lock mechanism powered by dual omega springs, a polymer-caged steel bearing pivot, and Flytanium PMX powder metallurgy stainless steel. While PMX delivers outstanding rust resistance, maintaining the lock interface and fasteners ensures years of smooth operation. Hone the edge at the factory 23-degree per side apex angle using diamond or ceramic media. Never expose the polycarbonate handle scales to harsh chemicals, acetone, or aggressive chlorinated solvents, and always use quality T8 Torx drivers to prevent fastener stripping.
- Verify the blade path and work area are completely clear of obstructions, keeping fingers clear of the blade track and locking bar path during initial inspection.
- Inspect crossbar lock travel and bearing pivot action, using low-pressure compressed air to clear any factory lint or transit debris from the internal chassis.
- Mount the reversible deep-carry pocket clip to your chosen orientation (left-hand or right-hand tip-up) using a T8 Torx driver, securing the 410 stainless screws with medium blue threadlocker.
- Apply a single drop of light synthetic lubricant directly into the caged pivot bearings and crossbar guide tracks, avoiding heavy grease that gathers grit.
- Perform final lockup verification by cycling the blade to verify centered blade alignment, instantaneous lockbar detent return, and absolute zero horizontal or vertical blade play.
