The Tenable Kitpu Linerlock Folding Knife is a slim, modern everyday carry design built around precision, clean lines, and dependable cutting performance. Named after the Mi’kmaq word for “eagle,” it reflects sharp focus, agility, and purposeful control in a compact form factor. Designed by Jonathan Styles of Newfoundland, Canada, it brings together thoughtful ergonomics and standout materials in a lightweight, pocket-friendly build.
This version features a 2.9-inch drop point blade forged from layered Damascus steel, showcasing a striking Water Ripple pattern that flows across the blade in organic, wave-like lines. The patterning gives each blade a unique visual character while maintaining the functional benefits of layered steel construction. It delivers reliable slicing performance with a refined, high-end aesthetic that stands out immediately.
Deployment is smooth and intuitive using the blade flipper, while a stainless steel linerlock secures the blade firmly in place during use. The action is designed for consistent, easy operation, making it well-suited for everyday cutting tasks without added complexity.
The handle is crafted from frag-patterned amber Ultem, a high-performance polymer known for its toughness, heat resistance, and distinctive translucent golden hue. The material catches light in a way that gives the knife a warm, almost glowing presence while still offering excellent durability and grip stability. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip ensures flexible carry options for either hand.
At 3.79 inches closed and weighing just 2.5 ounces, it stays exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry while still delivering capable cutting performance when needed.
