The Tenable Kratos linerlock folding knife delivers bold design, strong cutting performance, and dependable everyday utility in a larger, confidence-in-hand platform. It features a 3.79” drop point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel with a rugged stonewash finish that helps conceal wear while reinforcing its practical, hard-use character. Nitro-V is well known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a reliable choice for daily tasks and demanding cutting work. The drop point profile adds versatility with a strong, controllable tip and a broad belly that handles slicing, utility work, and general use with ease.
The Kratos opens quickly and smoothly using a blade flipper that delivers fast, consistent deployment. Once open, a sturdy stainless steel linerlock engages securely, providing reliable lockup and steady performance during use. The action is crisp and controlled, giving the knife a solid, mechanical feel that matches its rugged design and purpose-driven build.
The handles are made from white and black G-10, creating a sharp, high-contrast look paired with serious durability. G-10 is resistant to moisture, impact, and temperature changes, making it ideal for hard everyday carry. The textured surface ensures a secure grip in all conditions, while the white and black color scheme gives the knife a clean yet aggressive aesthetic. A stainless steel pocket clip provides 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 remaining practical for pocket carry. It’s built for users who want a larger folding knife with strong cutting capability and dependable everyday performance.
Designed by custom knifemaker Ostap Hel, the Kratos reflects his signature style of clean geometry, modern lines, and functional design focused on real-world usability.
