Tenable Kratos Linerlock Folding Knife Blackwash Nitro-V/Red & Black G-10 T1024A1

The Tenable Kratos linerlock folding knife delivers bold styling, solid performance, and dependable everyday utility in a larger, confidence-in-hand design. It features a 3.79” drop point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel with a rugged blackwash finish that helps mask wear while reinforcing its hard-use, tool-forward character. Nitro-V is well regarded for its strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a reliable choice for daily cutting tasks and demanding environments alike. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility, offering a strong, controllable tip along with a wide belly that excels in slicing and general utility work.

The Kratos deploys with authority using a blade flipper that delivers smooth, fast, and consistent action. Once opened, a robust stainless steel linerlock engages securely, providing dependable lockup and steady performance during use. The action is crisp and responsive, giving the knife a satisfying mechanical feel that matches its purposeful design.

The handles are constructed from red and black G-10, creating a striking, aggressive look backed by serious durability. G-10 is known for its resistance to moisture, impact, and temperature shifts, making it ideal for hard everyday use. The textured surface provides a secure grip in all conditions, while the bold two-tone color scheme adds visual energy without sacrificing function. A stainless steel pocket clip allows for secure carry and quick access when needed.

At 4.89” closed and weighing 4.34 ounces, the Kratos offers a substantial, controlled feel in hand while still riding comfortably in the pocket. It’s built for users who prefer a larger folding knife with strong cutting capability and dependable everyday usability.

Designed by custom knifemaker Ostap Hel, the Kratos reflects his signature design language of clean geometry, modern aesthetics, and practical performance-driven engineering.
