First Impressions: The Box & Presentation

Flytanium doesn’t just deliver quality knives — they package them with just as much attention to detail. The Arcade Lite arrives in a sharp, well-branded box. The front proudly displays the Flytanium logo, while clean typography and subtle design cues keep things minimal and modern. Flip the box over, and you’ll find model info and branding that give it a premium feel right from the start.

Inside the box, you’re greeted with more than just the knife. Flytanium includes a cleaning cloth for quick maintenance, a couple of stickers for your gear or laptop, and of course, the Arcade Lite itself, securely packed and ready for action.

Meet the Flytanium Arcade Lite

Let’s talk specs, style, and standout features. The version we’re reviewing today sports a Purple Polycarbonate handle — lightweight, ergonomic, and built for daily use. The handle is 4.5” long, giving you a confident grip without unnecessary bulk. And yes, there’s a lanyard hole if you like adding your personal touch.

You’ll also find a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, making it lefty-friendly and perfect for EDC (Everyday Carry). The clip sits snug and disappears in your pocket, exactly how a good pocket knife should behave.

Locking Mechanism & Blade Action

The Arcade Lite features Flytanium’s Shark-Lock, a locking mechanism known for its strength and satisfying fidget factor. It’s secure, ambidextrous, and easy to engage one-handed — a big win for those who use their knives often.

Opening the knife is quick and intuitive thanks to thumb studs on both sides of the blade. The action is smooth, responsive, and paired with a tactile jimping section on the spine for better control during precise cuts.

Blade Quality: Materials That Matter

The Arcade Lite doesn’t skimp on blade quality. It comes equipped with a 3.25” AUS-10A steel blade — a solid mid-tier steel known for excellent corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. It features a drop point style, giving it a versatile edge geometry for slicing, piercing, and general tasks.

The Black DLC finish adds a layer of durability while giving the blade a stealthy, tactical look. The blade is flat ground, making it a solid performer for slicing tasks while still being easy to maintain.
