From the moment you pick up the Krake Raken V3, you’ll feel the difference.

The cryogenically treated 410 stainless steel blade adds realistic heft and durability, giving you the tactile feedback of a live blade without the worry.

Every edge is chamfered and every surface sculpted to eliminate pinching, so you can focus entirely on the art of the flip.

Our team ran the numbers to optimize weight distribution, ensuring that each trick—from the simplest flick to the most complex aerial—feels locked-in and controlled.
