The Kraiken is a stunning knife with classic looks. The large blade that is perfect for a larger concealed EDC blade or smaller blade to strap to your gear. The slightly upswept tanto blade has a ton of cutting real estate with reinforced tip bevel, and is finished with an acid washed and tumbled finish. The blade has been ground from CPM 3V, that has been given Ben's specialized liquid nitrogen and cryogenic treatment designed to further refine the steel's properties. The blade flows into the resin-cured 'Tsuka Ito' cord wrapped handle for a grippy but not too aggressive feel. The wrap has been beefed up near the transition for a 'guard'. The knife comes with a molded kydex sheath that is ready for your preferred mounting solution.
