The Krake Raken is engineered for optimal ergonomics and grip with a machined texture, tapered handles, and a crowned spine.
For those who are looking to EDC (every day carry) their Krake Raken, check out the Anchor. This innovative device functions as both a detachable latch and pocket clip so that your knife stays together and secured while in your pocket.
V3: Released February 2023: Updated the tang area to reduce pinching and increased the texture and jimping depth for more grip. The Trainer blade was also updated to a new tanto profile.
