FINTISO sent another knife into the channel, and this time we are taking a look at the FINTISO Atlas.

Previously, they sent over a couple of other knives, including the Harper series and the Toucan.

The Harper impressed me enough that I carried it for quite a while and put it through plenty of use. The Toucan brought a very different design with an interesting blade profile and a slicey feel.

But with the Atlas, I think FINTISO may have topped themselves again.

Price to quality, this knife feels like it is going to be very hard to beat.

What Comes With the FINTISO Atlas?

The Atlas comes with the kind of packaging and extras I appreciate seeing with a knife in this category.

• Plush storage case
• Cleaning cloth
• Additional hardware
• FINTISO Atlas knife

Extra hardware is always appreciated, especially on a knife that may actually get carried and used.

Handle Options

The version shown in this video has black G10 scales.

FINTISO also offers the Atlas in other colors, along with aluminum scale options.

I personally opted for the black G10 version, and it gives the knife a clean, straightforward, practical look.

Blade Steel and Blade Finish

The FINTISO Atlas uses 14C28N blade steel.

The blade has a satin finish, which I really like. A satin finish tends to look clean, practical, and less flashy than some coated blades.

FINTISO reports the hardness at 60 to 62 HRC.

Dimensions and Weight

The Atlas is a full-size EDC folder with the following measurements:

• Blade length: 3.38 inches / 8.6 cm
• Handle length: 4.5 inches / 11.4 cm
• Overall length: 7.88 inches / 20.0 cm
• Blade thickness: 0.12 inches / 3.0 mm
• Weight: 4.057 ounces / 115 g

The Atlas is a little on the heavy side, but I do think FINTISO made an effort to reduce weight where they could.

The liners are milled, which helps. Most of the weight seems to come from the thicker blade stock rather than unnecessary handle weight.

Lockup and Centering

The Atlas uses a liner lock.

On the sample shown in the video, I did not feel any blade wobble up or down or side to side.

The blade was also very well centered.

Those are small details, but they matter. A knife can look great on paper, but if the lockup is sloppy or the centering is off, it immediately feels less refined.

Carry and Pocket Clip

The Atlas is set up for right-handed tip-up carry.

It uses a milled stainless steel pocket clip, which gives the knife a more premium feel than a basic stamped clip.

The pocket clip works with the overall design and adds to the quality impression of the knife.

Ceramic Ball Bearings

The Atlas runs on ceramic ball bearings.

That helps give the knife its smooth opening action, whether using the flipper tab or the finger cutout.

For an affordable EDC knife, this is one of the features that helps it feel like it is punching above its price class.

Branding and Details

The Atlas has several small branding details.

• FINTISO “F” on the pivot
• FINTISO branding on the blade
• 14C28N marking on the opposite side of the blade

The knife also has a G10 backspacer, which matches the handle material nicely.

Deployment Options

The Atlas gives you two ways to deploy the blade.

• Flipper tab
• Thumb / finger cutout

The flipper tab includes a nice bit of jimping. It is not too aggressive, but it gives enough traction to work well.

There is also jimping at the base of the blade and on the liner lock. Again, it is not overly aggressive. It feels just right.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

The Atlas comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

That is always good to see, especially from a company building knives that seem aimed at people who will actually carry and use them.

Final Thoughts

The FINTISO Atlas is a seriously impressive EDC knife for the money.

It has 14C28N blade steel, G10 scales, ceramic ball bearings, a milled pocket clip, milled liners, a satin blade finish, solid lockup, and good centering.

It is a little heavier than some comparable EDC knives, but that seems to come mostly from the thicker blade stock rather than careless design.

After trying the Harper series and the Toucan, I think the Atlas may be FINTISO’s strongest knife yet.

Price to quality, this one is going to be very hard to beat.
