The Stinger Framelock Knife Kit is a precision-designed DIY folding knife platform built for makers who want a strong, modern framelock folder with professional-grade fit and finish. Engineered for reliability and customization, this kit delivers a balanced combination of performance materials, clean geometry, and builder-friendly assembly that makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced knife makers.
At the core of every Stinger is a 3.0 inch hollow-ground blade made from 440C stainless steel. The blade is heat-treated to RC 54–56 for dependable edge retention and toughness, and finished with a satin polish for a clean, functional appearance. Paired with a 410 stainless steel framelock body, the knife offers solid lockup strength and smooth, dependable action.
Each kit includes all necessary components for full assembly, including precision-machined frame parts, stainless steel Torx hardware, pivot components, and liners. Designed with customization in mind, the Stinger platform supports filework, engraving, and handle modifications for makers who want to push their design further.
The knife measures 3.75 inches closed and 6.5 inches overall when open, delivering a compact carry profile with full-sized usability. Every version includes pre-fitted handle scales that define the final aesthetic of the build while still allowing room for personalization.
Available handle scale options include:
- Bubinga Wood
- Textured Black G10
Bubinga offers a warm, traditional hardwood look with deep reddish-brown tones and natural grain variation. Black G10 delivers a modern, tactical appearance with enhanced grip and durability for hard-use applications.
Whether you're building your first framelock or adding a refined project to your workbench lineup, the Stinger Framelock Knife Kit delivers a rewarding, hands-on experience with a finished result that feels solid, functional, and custom-built.
