Trivisa Hornet Pro-BM - 3.34" 14C28N Stonewashed Blade, Black Micarta Handle, Button Liner Lock

The Hornet earned its following as a well-built, full-size EDC knife at a fair price. The Hornet Pro keeps the same blade profile, handle and dimensions that people liked, and adds two meaningful upgrades: a harder blade and a new lock.

The 3.34" drop point blade is Sandvik 14C28N, a Swedish stainless steel developed specifically for knife blades. Its nitrogen-enhanced chemistry gives it a fine, even grain structure, making it tough enough to resist chipping and highly resistant to corrosion. On the Pro, Trivisa has raised the hardness from the original's 58–60 HRC to 60±2 HRC. That higher hardness means the edge holds its sharpness longer between touch-ups. 14C28N is one of the few stainless steels that keeps its toughness at this level, so you get the extra edge retention without making the blade brittle. It still comes back sharp quickly on a stone or rod. At 3.5mm thick the blade has real backbone for working tasks, and the black stonewash finish hides scratches and keeps the knife looking sharp after months of daily use.

The handle is Micarta, made by layering fabric sheets in resin and curing them under heat and pressure. The result is a material that grips securely even when wet or greasy, feels warm in the hand rather than cold and slick, and develops a patina with use as it absorbs oils from your hand. Over time the handle becomes uniquely yours.

The big change is the lock. The original Hornet used an axis-style crossbar lock; the Pro moves to a button liner lock. Press the button, the internal liner moves clear of the blade tang, and the blade swings closed with your thumb well away from the edge. You get the same one-handed, button-release convenience, with a simpler locking mechanism. The update also shaves 10g off the original, bringing it down to 111.7g. Ceramic ball bearings keep deployment smooth and consistent.

At 7.87" overall and 4.52" closed, this is a full-size knife that carries comfortably. It's for anyone who wants a dependable, hard-working blade that uses proven materials and is built to last.
