Toor Knives Launches Bateman T Folder With Two-Piece TwinFrame Build
November 8, 2026
Knife Magazine carries Toor Knives' announcement of the Bateman T, a refreshed version of the company's folding knife platform built with what Toor calls TwinFrame Construction. The San Diego maker presents it as a rethink of the standard three-piece folder.
Key points
- TwinFrame: Toor describes a proprietary two-piece structure meant to add strength and rigidity while cutting weight, extra hardware and possible failure points compared with three-piece builds.
- Materials: A machined 6061 ATP aluminum frame, MagnaCut blade steel, titanium hardware and pocket clip, and a crossbar lock.
- Where it is made: Designed and built in San Diego, California, by the veteran-owned company.
- Intended use: Toor pitches the low-profile design for everyday carry, outdoor use, professional work and demanding field conditions.
- Not listed: The release gives no price, blade length or weight.
Quick take
Connor Toor, the company's founder and CEO and a Marine veteran, said the aim was to strip out unneeded complexity, cut weight and build a stronger platform without giving up performance. The strength and reliability claims are Toor's own, and the piece is a company announcement dated October 28, 2026, rather than a hands-on review.
