Trivisa Hornet Pro-CG - 3.34" 14C28N Rose Gold PVD Blade, Carbon Fibre G10 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, so it resists chipping and corrosion. The Pro series raises the hardness from the original's 58–60 HRC to 60±2 HRC, which means the edge stays sharp longer between touch-ups. 14C28N is one of the few stainless steels that keeps its toughness at this level, so the extra edge retention doesn't make the blade brittle.

The blade is finished in rose gold PVD. PVD (physical vapour deposition) bonds a thin ceramic layer to the steel at a molecular level, so the colour is part of the surface rather than a coat of paint that can flake off. It adds a further layer of scratch and corrosion protection, and with the cutting edge left as bare, freshly sharpened steel, the warm rose gold tone makes a clean contrast. It's a finish you don't often see at this price.

The handle is carbon fibre-pattern G10. G10 is a fibreglass laminate set in epoxy resin. It's extremely strong and stable, and it doesn't absorb water, oil or sweat, so it stays the same in any conditions. On this version, the layers are finished to look like woven carbon fibre, giving you that deep, technical look in a material that's tough and practical for daily use. The dark weave pattern also sets off the rose gold blade perfectly.

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.
