Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, it’s a must-have addition for collectors, enthusiasts, and everyday users alike.

At the heart of the Obake is its 3.55” drop point blade, crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. This steel offers an ideal mix of hardness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, making it a practical choice for everyday cutting needs. But this blade is far from ordinary. The acid-etched gray titanium nitride-coated finish gives it a stunning Damascus-style look, adding visual appeal that makes it stand out from the crowd. Whether you’re slicing, cutting, or just admiring it, the Obake’s blade is as functional as it is beautiful.

One of the Obake’s standout features is its full-tang construction, meaning the blade extends the entire length of the handle. This design provides superior strength and durability, ensuring it won’t fail under pressure. The handle itself is crafted with a black paracord wrap, offering a comfortable grip that feels secure in the hand. The paracord isn’t just for looks — it provides enhanced traction, even in wet conditions, and reflects the timeless style of traditional Japanese knife handles.

The CRKT Obake comes with a custom black thermoplastic sheath, keeping the knife safe and secure when not in use. The sheath includes a paracord lanyard for versatile carry options, making it easy to wear around your neck or attach to a pack. Adding a final touch of personality, the lanyard features a skull bead accent, giving the Obake a bold, edgy flair. It’s the kind of attention to detail that sets this knife apart.

Measuring 7.56” overall and weighing just 2.4 ounces, the Obake is lightweight and easy to carry. Its slim profile allows for discreet carry, while the .13” blade thickness strikes a perfect balance between strength and precision. This knife is built to handle everything from daily cutting tasks to outdoor adventures, all while maintaining an eye-catching appearance that knife enthusiasts will appreciate.

Designed by Lucas Burnley, the Obake embodies his signature blend of utility and art. The Japanese-inspired design is instantly recognizable, and every detail — from the paracord-wrapped handle to the Damascus-style blade finish — reflects Burnley’s commitment to craftsmanship. It’s a knife that’s as much a work of art as it is a cutting tool.
