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
Natural Burlap Micarta, Gray Ti, Stonewashed Blade
Lava Flow CF, Copper Ti, Satin Blade

HOW DID WE DO?

Feel free to yell at us about stuff.

OUR FIRST COMMUNITY POLL COLLAB

We’re pleased to announce our first community-informed collaboration: The Kaviso x Kirby Raine. Revised with CPM-S35VN and poll-winning finishes from our Drawing board, this crop 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 composites.

Kirby designed blades are becoming increasingly scarce and reserved for collectors (and collector budgets) only. For the knife nuts here at Kaviso, it felt like the perfect time to release some fresh Kirby designed blades onto the scene. Produced with only high quality (and hard to find) materials, Kirby’s knives are eye-catching works of art with no detail overlooked.

EASY TO FLIP & ADMIRE

A good knife is only as good as its handle. That’s why we started with a reliable 6AL4V titanium frame on the Raine, which can be found in all of Lambert’s custom folding knives. Thanks to the caged bearing system (and the 3.5-inch blade’s hefty build), the knife snaps open with authority with a simple press on the flipper tab. To make the flipper even more comfortable, the bolster is rounded and cornered—a design element that can only be achieved through CNC machining. Looking at the Raine from the spine, you’ll notice a floating backspacer that perfectly matches the contours of the handle. To complete the knife, it’s fitted with a titanium clip.

A CLOSER LOOK AT S35VN STEEL

Developed by Crucible Industries (one of the leading manufacturers of specialty steels for the cutlery industry) and Chris Reeve (arguably the most famous knifemaker in the world), S35VN is perhaps the most balanced blade steel ever created in terms of all-around performance. It’s made through a process of powdered metallurgy known as CPM, which results in near perfect consistency in the distribution of carbides. Compared to conventional melting practices, the CPM process produces a steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness.

ABOUT KIRBY LAMBERT

Kirby Lambert has been collecting folding knives since the age of 7. Considering his upbringing in the Canadian countryside, he had plenty of reasons to carry one—however, it wasn’t until studying fine art at the University of Calgary that Lambert realized his knack for craftsmanship. Later he met knifemaker Brian Lyttle, who taught him the skills and dedication needed to make his own knives and turn passion into reality. In the 27 years since he officially stepped onto the scene, Lambert has become one of the most respected knifemakers in the industry. To that end, he won the award for “Best Tactical Folder” at Blade Show 2016 and served as the Vice President of the Canadian Knifemakers’ Guild.

REATE: A STORY OF PRECISION CRAFTSMANSHIP

A small and highly respected original equipment manufacturer in China, Reate was founded in 2012 by David Deng, a longtime knife enthusiast with a background in mechanical design and manufacturing. Since starting the business, Deng has expanded its capabilities to offer key services like wire EDM precision cutting, laser engraving, CNC milling, low-temperature tempering, custom hand finishing, and more. Owing to the company’s impressive work, Reate has earned the opportunity to work with knifemakers around the world, including names like Liong Mah, Tashi Bharucha, David Mosier, Eric Ochs, and Todd Begg.

Well designed knife

Well designed and excellent fit and finish. The carbon fiber is very high quality as well. This latest drop point version is imo a big improvement on an already great knife.

Feels like it worth over $1k

Flawless

Great knife… excellent material and craftsmanship

Kaviso did it again! Feels and looks like a $400 knife.

Great knife at an amazing price. Kaviso out did themselves on this one. I've got 2 batch 2's and a batch 3 and I love them all, but the batch 3 is just on another level. The non recurve s90v blade is a very nice upgrade compared to batch 2's recurve s35vn. Thumb studs vs flipper is a toss up, I like both and don't have a major preference, although the thumb stud version doesn't have a pocket pecker so it carry's a bit slimmer. If you like big beefy knives it's a great one. Mine came perfectly centered, with a great detent, and looks for days. Thanks Kaviso!
