Description

The Krake Raken V3 (formerly known as the Kraken), is the industry leading butterfly knife that sets the gold standard for competitive flipping. The Krake Raken has several blade options including the Tanto, Bowie, Weehawk, and Trainer.

The Krake Raken balisong butterfly knife, first introduced in 2019, is the first live-blade offering from Squid Industries. It features 7075 aluminum alloy channel handles and an AEB-L stainless steel blade. The Krake Raken is engineered for optimal ergonomics and grip with a machined texture, tapered handles, and a crowned spine.

For those who are looking to EDC (every day carry) their Krake Raken, check out the Anchor. This innovative device functions as both a detachable latch and pocket clip so that your knife stays together and secured while in your pocket.
