This Knife

• Blade: Flytanium's Zenith blade with a satin finish made from AEB-L steel.
• Handle: Lightweight, channel-constructed design featuring machined-texture blue 7075 aluminum handles.
• Pivot: Bushings that provide Squid Industries' ultra-smooth flipping action.

Krake Raken V3

The Krake Raken V3 Zenith live blade builds on everything that makes the platform exceptional, now enhanced through a collaboration with Flytanium and featuring their distinctive Zenith blade design.

The Krake Raken V3 live blade boasts an improved grip with deeper milling for the handle texture and more substantial jimping. This Zenith version elevates the experience further, pairing Squid’s precision-engineered platform with Flytanium’s uniquely styled Zenith blade—bringing a refined aesthetic and performance-focused geometry to an already proven design.

The highly anticipated Krake Raken balisong butterfly knife has all of the smoothness you’d expect from a Squid trainer, now combined with a beautifully finished live blade. The handles feature rounded edges and deep texturing for a secure, confident grip. Upgraded zen pins use harder steel to better preserve handle gap over time, while the redesigned bushing system further reduces—or even eliminates—blade play.

The result is a butterfly knife that shrugs off drops, cuts with authority, and flips with unmatched fluidity—now with the added identity and performance edge of Flytanium’s Zenith blade.
