Turner CNC introduces the El Burrito, a lightweight EDC folding knife with a 2.6″ CPM 3V blade and a closed length of 3.75″. Its innovative design features a durable S7 tool steel lock, 6061 aluminum handle, and exceptional cutting performance. Handmade in the USA, it combines strength and utility for everyday tasks.
Our El Burrito folder takes design inspiration from our El Burro fixed blade with the folding mechanism from our Folding Djinn. Small utility EDC sized 3.75″ closed, with a 2.6″ CPM 3V blade. Big enough to fill your hand for heavy duty work, while being very lightweight at 2.3 oz.
The 1/8″ thick blade is 3D machined from CPM 3V, one of the toughest knife steels available, and is more resistant to chipping and tip damage than other steels. Our 3D machining process keeps a thin BTE (behind the edge) thickness at the heel of the blade near your hand for increased cutting performance, then transitions to a flat grind near the tip for improved tip strength.
The handle scales are machined from 6061 aluminum for its strength and rigidity. We pocket the interior of the knife handles, allowing us to further decrease the overall weight of the El Burrito.
The machined S7 tool steel lock is pushed by a compression spring and doesn’t have the traditional issues seen by omega springs failing. The lock bar is heat treated and has room for wear factored in, giving a long lasting and durable lockup every time. The lock is ambidextrously accessible from both sides of the handle and is easily pulled down allowing the blade to freely swing open or closed.
The clip is machined from 17-4 Stainless Steel, and has excellent retention, making sure you don’t lose your blade during any activity.
