The Tenable Kratos linerlock folding knife is built for strength, control, and confident everyday carry with a bold, functional design. It features a 3.79” drop point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel and finished in a rugged stonewash that helps hide wear while giving the blade a clean, work-ready look. Nitro-V is known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a dependable steel for real-world use. The drop point profile enhances versatility, offering a strong, controllable tip paired with a wide cutting edge that handles slicing, utility work, and general tasks with ease.
The Kratos deploys quickly and smoothly using a blade flipper that delivers fast, consistent action. Once open, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock engages securely, providing reliable lockup and steady performance under use. The action feels crisp and controlled, giving the knife a solid, satisfying mechanical response that matches its rugged design intent.
The handles are made from blue and black G-10, combining striking visual contrast with serious durability. G-10 is highly resistant to moisture, impact, and temperature changes, making it ideal for hard everyday carry. The textured surface ensures a secure grip in a wide range of conditions, while the blue and black color scheme adds a modern, aggressive aesthetic without compromising function. A stainless steel pocket clip allows for secure, convenient carry and quick access when needed.
Measuring 4.89” closed and weighing 4.34 ounces, the Kratos offers a substantial in-hand feel while still remaining practical for daily pocket carry. It’s designed for users who want a larger folding knife with real cutting power and dependable construction.
Designed by custom knifemaker Ostap Hel, the Kratos reflects his signature approach of clean lines, purposeful geometry, and modern styling paired with practical, real-world performance.
