Real Steel Kikashi

The Real Steel Kikashi series utilizes 14C28N stainless steel, a material known for performance characteristics similar to Nitro-V. This steel provides excellent corrosion resistance and reliable edge retention for everyday cutting tasks.

Yes, the Kikashi is designed specifically for portability, weighing in at just under 2.5 ounces despite its 3.5-inch blade. Real Steel achieves this by using drilled-out liners and slim handle materials, making it a strong contender for those seeking ultralight EDC knives.

The Real Steel Kikashi serves as a larger alternative to the CRKT CEO, offering a similar slim, narrow profile but with a more substantial handle and blade. It provides more grip real estate for users with larger hands while maintaining the discreet 'pen-like' carry style of a gentleman's folder.

The Kikashi features a deep-carry pocket clip that is fully reversible for right- or left-handed carry. To ensure a smooth draw, the mounting screws are flush-mounted into the handle scales so they do not snag on your pocket fabric.

The Kikashi series offers several handle options, including G10 and carbon fiber/G10 laminates. These materials are chosen for their durability and low weight, contributing to the knife's overall slim profile.

The Kikashi features a full flat ground drop point blade with a distinct swedge. The spine remains straight until near the tip, providing a refined piercing point and efficient slicing geometry for versatile daily use.
