The North Mountain Blade KAIKEN – Flat Titanium Tanto blends traditional Japanese-inspired design with modern precision engineering. Built around a high-performance 3.5" M390 Tanto blade, this model delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting power in a clean, minimalist profile.
The Tanto blade features a hollow-ground primary edge for excellent slicing efficiency and a reinforced flat-ground tip for strong penetration performance. Finished in a rugged stonewashed coating, the blade resists scratches and wear from everyday use.
This version features flat titanium handle scales—sleek, strong, comfortable, and completely free of nature holes. The full titanium construction keeps the knife lightweight and extremely durable. The surface can also be heat-anodized at home, giving users the ability to customize the handle color to their taste.
With an optimized front flipper mechanism, the KAIKEN deploys quickly and smoothly while remaining safer in-pocket due to reduced accidental-opening risk. The matching titanium pocket clip completes the premium all-titanium build.
Refined, modern, and built for performance, the flat titanium KAIKEN is a perfect companion for EDC, tactical use, and outdoor carry.
