Tenable Kitpu Linerlock Folding Knife Blackwash Nitro V/Red & Black G-Mascus B2123A4

The Tenable Kitpu Linerlock Folding Knife carries a slim, refined everyday carry profile built for dependable cutting performance, clean styling, and practical function. Named after the Mi’kmaq word for “eagle,” it reflects speed, precision, and controlled strength in a compact design meant for real-world use. Designed by Jonathan Styles of Newfoundland, Canada, it blends modern materials with thoughtful ergonomics and a lightweight carry footprint.

This version features a 2.9-inch drop point blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel, a steel known for its strong balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The blade is finished in a blackwash treatment that gives it a worn-in, low-glare appearance, helping conceal scratches and carry wear while adding a rugged, broken-in aesthetic from day one.

It deploys quickly and smoothly using the blade flipper, while a stainless steel linerlock provides secure lockup during use. The action is designed to be consistent and easy to operate, keeping the knife ready for everyday tasks without unnecessary complexity.

The handle is crafted from red and black G-Mascus G-10 fiberglass laminate, offering a layered, patterned look inspired by Damascus-style aesthetics. The material delivers a strong, grippy texture with excellent durability, while the bold red and black coloration adds a striking visual contrast that stands out without sacrificing functionality. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip supports flexible carry options for either hand.

At 3.79 inches closed and weighing just 2.5 ounces, it remains lightweight and pocket-friendly while still offering capable cutting performance when needed.
