After years of helping others bring great designs to market, we felt the urge to create something truly our own.
BladeX GEN-195 is the result — a project refined over two years, and the very first product under our own name.

“A Keen Blade Ought Not to Pose a Risk to Its User”
A deliberate rotational open–close system with a positive lock replaces spring-assist action—requiring an intentional twist to deploy and offering precise mechanical feedback for greater day-to-day safety and long-term durability.

Blade Risk
Through our early testing, we found that no matter how the internal structure is optimized, both designs have inherent safety flaws — OTS knives can accidentally retract during use, while OTF knives may unintentionally deploy during carrying or loading, posing a risk to the user.

Rotate to Open
To solve this, in 2018 we developed our original triple-layer rotary opening mechanism, which ensures no rebound when opening and no accidental deployment during storage or carry, providing both safety and reliability in everyday use.

Sharpness only has meaning when it is controlled. The brief was simple: let the blade awaken only when called, never disturb everyday calm.
Each opening becomes a measured ritual. Sharp is no longer a liability; it is quiet assurance.
