The Tenable Knives Loki brings custom knife character into a compact folding design made for everyday carry. With a tan G-10 handle and Water Ripple Damascus blade, this version combines rugged construction with a distinctive visual appeal that's hard to overlook. Originally created as a custom fixed blade, the Loki has evolved into a more pocket-friendly folder without losing the ergonomic focus that made the original design stand out.
The 3-inch Wharncliffe blade gives the Loki a precise, purposeful cutting profile. Water Ripple Damascus adds an unmistakable flowing pattern to the blade, giving each knife a unique visual character while providing a premium blade material for an EDC-focused design. The Wharncliffe shape features a straight cutting edge and defined point, making it particularly well suited to controlled cuts, slicing, opening packages, trimming material, and other everyday tasks. A flat grind complements the blade's practical geometry, keeping the cutting profile efficient and predictable.
The tan G-10 handle brings a rugged, dependable feel to the design. Known for its durability and resistance to moisture, G-10 is a natural fit for an everyday folder that may see everything from routine pocket carry to outdoor use. The handle is shaped with progressive ergonomics, creating natural contours that help position the hand securely around the knife. Despite its compact dimensions, the Loki provides a comfortable grip and confident control when the blade is put to work.
A liner lock secures the Wharncliffe blade during use, while the compact construction keeps the overall knife easy to manage. At 6.88 inches open, the Loki offers a useful amount of cutting capability without feeling oversized. Its 3.31-ounce weight also makes it comfortable to carry throughout the day, whether clipped to your pocket for work, errands, or weekend adventures.
The Loki's origins as a custom fixed blade are evident in its thoughtful proportions and emphasis on ergonomics. Designer Steven Dunnuck brings a mechanical mindset and a passion for creating things that are fast, sharp, and built with purpose. Born and raised in Long Beach, California, Dunnuck draws on his hands-on background and adventurous personality to create designs with plenty of character.
This version of the Loki strikes an especially appealing balance between traditional and modern materials. The warm tan G-10 handle gives it an earthy, rugged appearance, while the Water Ripple Damascus blade introduces an elegant, flowing contrast. Together, they create a folder that can handle everyday cutting chores while looking right at home in a collection of premium knives.
