High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ketuo Yakuza Linerlock Carbon Fiber delivers a refined take on a hard-edged everyday carry design, blending modern materials with purposeful geometry. This knife is built for users who want dependable performance wrapped in a clean, aggressive profile that doesn’t overdo it. Lightweight yet solid in hand, the Yakuza feels ready for daily work while carrying the visual depth of a premium build.
The 3.34" reverse tanto blade is crafted from 154CM stainless steel, a proven American-made steel known for its balanced edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It’s a steel that sharpens easily and holds an edge through real-world use, making it a reliable choice for an EDC blade that won’t live in a display case. The satin finish gives the blade a crisp, refined look while highlighting clean grind lines and helping with smooth cutting performance. The reverse tanto profile adds extra strength at the tip, making it especially effective for controlled cuts, piercing tasks, and utility work where tip stability matters. A thumb hole opening allows fast, confident one-handed deployment without relying on springs or assisted mechanisms.
Lockup is handled by a linerlock that engages solidly and consistently, keeping the blade secure during use while allowing smooth, controlled closing. It’s a simple, proven system that emphasizes reliability and ease of maintenance, aligning perfectly with the knife’s everyday carry mission.
The handle is constructed from black marble carbon fiber, a lightweight composite that offers excellent rigidity and grip while adding visual depth and character. The marbled pattern gives each knife a subtle uniqueness without sacrificing strength or durability. The handle shape is ergonomic and well balanced, providing a comfortable grip during extended use without feeling bulky. At 7.86" overall and weighing just 4.8 ounces, the Yakuza carries easily while still offering a confident, full-hand feel when in use.
A 6AL-4V titanium pocket clip completes the build, offering strength, corrosion resistance, and a discreet carry profile. Set up for tip-up carry, it keeps the knife secure in the pocket and positioned for quick access when needed.
The Ketuo Yakuza Carbon Fiber stands as a more refined evolution of a distinctive everyday carry design, combining premium materials, purposeful blade geometry, and a clean, modern aesthetic into a knife that’s built to be carried and used.
