Squid Industries – KRMBSI – Krake Raken V3 – Balisong – AEB-L Stonewash Bowie – Aluminum – Silver

The Squid Industries Krake Raken V3 Balisong Butterfly Knife represents the evolution of one of the most respected names in the modern balisong community. Designed with the same meticulous engineering that made Squid Industries’ trainers famous, the Krake Raken V3 pairs precision machining with a premium live blade to deliver outstanding performance for both collectors and experienced flippers. Built in the United States, this balisong is crafted with a focus on balance, durability, and smooth operation. The heart of the Krake Raken V3 is its satin-finished AEB-L stainless steel blade. AEB-L is highly regarded in the knife industry for its excellent edge stability, fine grain structure, and impressive corrosion resistance. The blade’s bowie-inspired profile provides both slicing capability and tip control, making it versatile for cutting tasks while maintaining the agility required for advanced flipping techniques. Squid Industries refined the V3 with notable ergonomic and mechanical improvements. The lightweight 7075 aluminum handles feature channel construction for increased strength and durability. Deeper milling along the handles creates enhanced texture for improved grip and control during manipulation. Substantial jimping and rounded handle edges further enhance handling comfort while maintaining a secure grip during high-speed flips. Performance is driven by Squid Industries’ precision-tuned pivot system. The redesigned bushing and washer assembly significantly reduces blade play and provides the ultra-smooth action that flippers expect from the brand. Hardened steel zen pins help preserve the proper handle gap even after repeated drops, ensuring long-term reliability and structural integrity. Whether displayed in a collection or used for recreational flipping, the Krake Raken V3 showcases the quality and innovation that have made Squid Industries a leader in the balisong world.
