The Kihon Bifold G10 42a is a slim and lightweight folding knife designed by US knife designer Lucas Burnley. Inspired by the fundamental principles and basic techniques of Japanese martial arts, the Kihon Bifold combines a clean, understated design with a function-oriented construction.

The Niolox blade features a drop point profile and a Saber Grind. This combination provides a functional cutting geometry for controlled and precise cutting tasks. A nail nick allows the blade to be opened, while the back lock provides reliable blade retention in the open position. The black G10 handle features a textured surface and gives the folding knife a modern yet understated appearance.
The feature set is completed by a right-side tip-up pocket clip and a lanyard hole. These elements allow the folding knife to be carried according to its intended configuration and attached to clothing or gear where permitted. With its combination of a Niolox blade, G10 handle, nail nick, and back lock, the Kihon Bifold G10 42a combines classic pocket knife elements with a modern design by Lucas Burnley.
