This exclusive Blade HQ Krake Raken model, previously known as the Kraken, boasts a sleek matte black handle made from durable 7075 aluminum alloy, paired with a bowie-style blade that features a long swedge and an eye-catching acid wash finish. As the first live-blade balisong from Squid Industries, the Krake Raken combines the smooth, precision-engineered feel of a Squid trainer with the cutting edge of a beautifully crafted bowie blade. The handles are designed with comfort and functionality in mind, featuring channel construction with rounded edges, a crowned spine, and bushings for smooth operation. An upgrade from the 6061 to the stronger 7075 aluminum alloy means this knife is built to withstand drops and heavy use, making it a durable and stylish choice for enthusiasts.
