The Tenable Knives Raven Purple brings standout style and dependable performance to your everyday carry rotation. Designed to handle daily cutting tasks with ease, this manual folding knife pairs durable materials with a sleek, modern profile that feels just as good in hand as it looks in your pocket. From casual utility use to more focused work, the Raven Purple is built to perform, day in and day out.
The blade measures 3.14 inches and is crafted from premium 14C28N stainless steel, a steel widely respected for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. It’s a smart choice for a daily carry knife, capable of taking on everything from slicing food and opening packages to cutting rope and tackling light outdoor tasks. The blackwash finish adds a rugged, low-glare look that hides wear and gives the knife a broken-in, tactical character right from the start.
Its drop point blade shape provides a strong tip and generous belly for slicing, making it highly versatile across a range of cutting tasks. At just .11 inches thick, the blade glides through material with minimal resistance, offering a responsive feel that enhances control and precision during detailed work.
Opening the Raven Purple is smooth and simple thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs that are positioned just right for fast, one-handed deployment. Lockup is handled by a reliable crossbar lock, known for its ambidextrous design and secure hold. This system provides strength and safety without getting in the way, allowing for quick blade operation and confident closure every time you use it.
The Raven’s handle is where the design really takes a turn toward the bold. While the name says “Purple,” the actual handle material is a rich green Micarta—adding a layered depth of color and texture that plays beautifully off the blackwashed blade. Micarta is a favorite among knife users for its durability, weather resistance, and tactile grip. Even when your hands are wet or the job gets messy, the Raven stays securely in hand with its lightly contoured, textured scales.
At 4.43 inches closed and 7.57 inches overall, the Raven Purple hits a sweet spot for an everyday carry knife. It's compact enough to disappear in your pocket but long enough to give you a full, comfortable grip. Weighing in at just 3.77 ounces, it carries light while offering enough heft to feel substantial and secure.
