The blade is stonewash finished and has a stepped spine cutout adding an interesting visual element. A jimped thumb ramp adds traction for security in the hand while the thrust bearing pivot provides fast deployment via the front flipper tab.
Handle: Blue anodized titanium handle slabs are chamfered for comfort and support gorgeous carbon fiber overlays. A full titanium backspacer gives the Raut great balance in the hand and provides a generous oval hole for lanyard attachment.

The construction is rounded out with Grey Torx hardware along with a right hand, tip-up, titanium pocket clip and dual pivot collars which are anodized to match the frame.
