COMMUNITY INPUT
A big thank you to everyone who participated in our inaugural community poll, now dubbed The Drawing Board and being replicated for future collaborations and other exciting projects. The Kaviso x Kirby Raine represents an ongoing trend to deliver community-input-infused knives to the market with minimal markup, maximum upgrades from notable designers, and new tweaks to time tested favorites.
To land on these five future famous frame lock folders, we selected the top three most popular choices from our website poll, and also incorporated community feedback regarding blade finishes and non-carbon fiber handle options.
Kaviso x Kirby Raine poll results:
- Titanium Handles with FatCarbon inlays:
Dark Matter Purple CF, Purple Ti, Satin Blade
Dark Matter Copper CF, Copper Ti, Stonewashed Blade
Dark Matter Copper CF, Copper, Ti, Satin Blade
White Storm CF, Gray Ti, Stonewashed Blade

HOW DID WE DO?
Feel free to yell at us about stuff.
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.
