The Bastinelli Creations R.E.D. V2 Fixed Blade Black is a full-size fixed-blade knife that combines durable materials, straightforward construction, and a distinctive modern design. Built around a full tang platform, the R.E.D. V2 is designed to provide structural strength and dependable performance in a variety of cutting applications while maintaining a streamlined profile.
The knife features a 4-inch tanto blade crafted from N690 stainless steel. This steel is known for its combination of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention, making it a commonly used material in premium fixed-blade knives. The tanto blade profile incorporates reinforced geometry near the tip, creating a strong point while maintaining a practical cutting edge. Its design emphasizes durability and precision, making it suitable for a wide range of utility-focused tasks.
A stonewash finish covers the blade, giving it a subdued appearance while helping to minimize the visibility of scratches and wear that may occur through regular use. The finish complements the rugged character of the knife and contributes to its low-maintenance nature.
The R.E.D. V2 utilizes full tang construction, meaning the blade steel extends through the entire length of the handle. This design enhances overall strength and rigidity while providing a solid foundation for the handle scales. The handle is fitted with black G-10, a material widely recognized for its durability, resistance to moisture, and stable grip characteristics. G-10 performs well across a range of environmental conditions and requires minimal maintenance.
An integrated lanyard hole provides an additional attachment point for users who prefer to add a lanyard or retention cord. This feature also offers flexibility for storage and carry configurations.
Measuring 8.625 inches overall, the knife balances blade length and handle size to create a substantial yet manageable fixed-blade platform. The proportions allow for a full-handed grip while maintaining a profile that remains practical for transport and storage.
The included black Kydex sheath provides secure blade retention and protection. Kydex is valued for its durability, weather resistance, and ability to maintain consistent retention over time. The sheath helps safeguard the blade while keeping the knife readily accessible when carried or stored.
Combining N690 stainless steel, full tang construction, black G-10 handle scales, and a durable Kydex sheath, the Bastinelli Creations R.E.D. V2 Fixed Blade Black presents a robust fixed-blade design built around practical materials and a modern tanto blade profile.
