Lib-Tech Men’s Box Knife Snowboard 2023 Lib-Tech

The Box Knife is the perfect all mountain processor for high speed jib / park performance. It’s playful, intelligent, stable and self-aware. A perfect balance for whatever the day throws at you. With early rise cambers this “jib” board becomes a secret powder manipulating genius. Yang to the Scratcher’s Yin the Box Knife’s balanced approach keeps riders like Matteo Soltane and Xander Cornaby snapping the line of progression while amplifying Jesse Burtner’s backcountry brain waves.

“All the papers spilling out of the brief case on the Scratcher end up on the Knife. The paper is stacked. It is controlled. It is defi nable and unassuming. But like most information, you usually have to dig deeper to fi nd meaning. Like a shiv hidden in a bible, a box knife is hidden in the pages; the cold, hard, cutting truth. This is the fi rst time we thought to use an actual box knife in the Box Knife graphic! So there’s obviously a literal component too.” -Christina “Pika” Burtner, Box Knife artist

Profile: Camber

Precision, control and pop.

The side profile of camber looks like a rainbow. Tried and true, camber has been the dominant board bend in the snowboard industry for almost 40 years. Adopted from the bend of alpine skis, camber snowboards deliver precise turning and edge control, with spring-loaded pop due to the bend in the board, providing better jumping characteristics. Advanced riders tend to prefer this bend, especially for hard carving and high-speed riding. Even when it comes to softer park snowboards, camber boards deliver exceptional pop and control.

However, they are not as forgiving of mistakes and can be more difficult to learn or progress on than a rocker or hybrid bend.

Shape: Twin

A completely symmetrical shape, which thrives in a variety of freestyle situations. At the core of its design, the twin shape features an identical nose and tail shape, which provides an identical feel and predictable maneuverability whether riding regular or switch. Although originally developed with park riders in mind, twin shapes have also grown to be embraced by many all-mountain riders that like to bring a skateboard style riding out of the park and onto the entire mountain.

Flex: 5 – 7 (Scale 1 – 10)

Versatility at its finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
