ProTech – 5336-LTD AW FDE – Malibu Flipper – Folding Knife – CPM MagnaCut Acid Wash Wharncliffe – Dragon Scale Aluminum – FDE

The ProTech 5336-LTD AW FDE Malibu is a premium limited-edition version of one of the most celebrated manual-action pocket knives ever produced. Built around ProTech’s renowned button-lock flipper platform, the Malibu delivers smoothness, precision, and fidget-friendly operation in a lightweight, American-made package. This special configuration elevates the design even further with an acid-washed CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade and a uniquely machined Dragon Scale aluminum handle finished in Flat Dark Earth (FDE), giving the knife both tactical visual appeal and enhanced grip texture.

The 3.25-inch Wharncliffe blade, made from CPM MagnaCut steel, brings exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance to the table. The flat grind transitions cleanly into a fine tip, making the blade ideal for controlled slicing, detail cuts, and daily utility tasks. The acid wash finish adds a rugged, low-reflective surface that resists visible wear and maintains a sleek working appearance. Paired with a ball-bearing flipper mechanism, the Malibu opens effortlessly with a crisp, satisfying action that enthusiasts widely consider one of the best in the industry.

The handle is built from 7075 aluminum and machined with ProTech’s aggressive Dragon Scale texture for improved traction and a distinctive high-end look. The Flat Dark Earth anodized finish gives the knife a duty-ready color profile while keeping weight extremely low. A black lip pearl button acts as both the lock mechanism and a visual highlight, while blasted hardware maintains the knife’s clean, cohesive aesthetic. Despite its premium build, the Malibu remains incredibly easy to carry thanks to its slim form factor and deep-carry pocket clip, positioned for right-handed tip-up carry.

A cornerstone of modern EDC, the Malibu offers simple one-handed operation, excellent ergonomics, and elite materials in a compact, versatile package. Whether you’re upgrading your personal rotation or adding a special limited variant to a growing collection, the 5336-LTD AW FDE Malibu represents one of the finest button-lock flippers available today.
