The WE Knife Co. Tayra brings together modern engineering, premium materials, and a design that’s as striking as it is functional. Built for those who demand precision and style, this folding karambit showcases a 2.91” hawkbill blade crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion protection, M390 offers outstanding performance in both demanding tasks and daily use. The blade’s aggressive hawkbill shape excels at slicing, pulling cuts, and controlled detail work, while a clean stonewash finish lends a rugged, refined appearance that minimizes visible wear.
Opening the Tayra is a fluid, satisfying experience thanks to the blade flipper paired with caged ceramic ball bearings. Each deployment is lightning-fast and effortless, with the kind of smooth action serious knife enthusiasts expect from WE Knife Co. Once open, the solid framelock with a hardened steel lockbar insert secures the blade with absolute confidence, ensuring dependable performance during heavy use. At .16” thick, the blade delivers the strength needed for tough tasks while maintaining the agility and precision that define the karambit style.
The handle is where functionality and aesthetics meet in perfect balance. Crafted from 6AL-4V titanium, it features an elegant gray and blue two-tone finish that enhances its premium look without being overbearing. Subtle machining and ergonomic shaping provide a secure, comfortable grip, while the integrated finger ring offers enhanced retention and control, especially for tactical applications or quick transitions. Whether you’re using the Tayra for utility work or as part of your personal carry, the handle’s design keeps it firmly in hand under any conditions.
Compact and lightweight, the Tayra measures 4.69” closed and weighs just 3.43 oz., making it a practical choice for everyday carry. Its 6.87” overall length when open delivers a balance of reach and portability that suits both urban and outdoor environments. The low-profile titanium pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly positioned for instant access, so it’s always ready when you need it.
