REVKANUBCGY: Steven Kempa VULPEX Knives VK-ANUB - Crystallized Gray
Reate Knives
The VULPEX VK-ANUB, designed by Steven Kempa and produced by Reate Knives, carries forward the brand’s blend of innovation and precision with this frame lock front flipper variant. Its action is smooth and intuitive, offering the same crisp responsiveness that defines the VULPEX lineup, now paired with the reliability of a titanium frame lock.
The knife's drop point blade is made from Bohler Elmax stainless steel, balancing cutting performance with durability and subtle style. The handle flows seamlessly, shaped from crystallized gray titanium with clean chamfers and thoughtful ergonomics that provide both comfort and control. Every detail – from the refined machining to the titanium clip – contributes to a cohesive design that feels modern, balanced, and purposeful. True to VULPEX and Reate standards, the VK-ANUB is more than just a tool. It’s an expression of craftsmanship and performance for those who appreciate a folding knife that excels in both artistry and function.

ELMAX
This powder-metallurgy steel is both highly wear-resistant and rust-resistant, making it a great choice for premium folders and small to medium fixed blades.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
