Overview
KAVISO X KIRBY RAINE V3
The Kaviso x Kirby Raine V3 has been revised with CPM-S90V and poll-winning finishes from our Drawing board, this batch of beefy folders are sure to impress. Measuring 8.2 inches long and weighing nearly 6 ounces, the Raine is a flat-out beast. And while it’s certainly sized for heavy-duty cuts, it doesn’t sacrifice even a smidge of grace - scale options range from Burlap Micarta to a selection of FatCarbon and CamoCarbon composites.
Kirby designed blades are becoming increasingly scarce and reserved for collectors (and collector budgets) only. Produced with only high quality (and hard to find) materials, Kirby’s knives are eye-catching works of art with no detail overlooked.
DRAWING BOARD POLL
You voted, we listened. We based this Round 3 production run entirely on the popular votes from our Drawing Board poll – the results are custom-folder quality blades at an approachable price point despite the incredible list of specs. Check out the full list of changes made after Round 2 below:
- Blade Shape: Updated to Drop Point, Recurve Removed
- Blade Steel: Top Shelf American Made CPM-S90V Steel
- Deployment: Thumb Studs, Flipper Tab Removed
- Lefties Rejoice: Left Hand Specific Variation
- Pivot: Updated showside pivot for flush pivot
- Inlays: CamoCarbon (ShipWreck, & 80’s), FatCarbon (Lava Flow), & Burlap Micarta
CPM-S90V STEEL BY CRUCIBLE INDUSTRIES
A premium stainless steel alloy made in the USA by Crucible industries, S90V tops the charts for edge retention and corrosion resistance. The CPM-S90V Kirby Raine blade comes with either a Stonewashed or Satin finish.
AEROSPACE CARBON FIBER
The 80's and Shipwreck Carbon Fiber (CF) mark our second collaboration with CamoCarbon materials. Their source for CF is none other than Toray, a renowned aerospace supplier known for producing Carbon Fiber that is officially certified for the demands of space launch/travel. Toray's CF is trusted by industry giants like Boeing and Northrom Grumman, who rely on its exceptional quality for their aerospace endeavors. By integrating this superior CF into our product, the Kaviso x Kirby Raine Knife, you can be confident that it is built to endure the rigorous demands of space exploration. Necessary? No. Cool? You bet.
KIRBY LAMBERT
When you see the signature black widow on the blade and thick titanium bolsters, you can bet it’s a Kirby Lambert design. Known best for his out-of-this-world custom folders, Lambert has an eye for creating exotic folders and fixed blades that are equal parts heft, elegance, and stout build. You won’t find a folder by Lambert with sub-par components – it’s the best or nothing, and the Raine 3.0 rises to the level of custom quality at a fraction of the price.
Comes with the original box and zipper case. Excellent condition.
