Tom Krein Custom Cayenne Green Canvas Micarta Red Liners CTS-XHP EDC Fixed Blade 3933

The Cayenne custom fixed knife from maker Tom Krein is a spicy little every day carry fixed blade. The sub-2.5 inch CTS-XHP blade offers nimble yet powerful cutting performance with its shallow hollow grind while Tom's Green Canvas Micarta handle is designed and finished to provide optimal comfort and control.

Brand new, direct from Krein Knives.

Blade: The compact clip point blade of the Cayenne is made from shallow hollow ground XHP that provides a high level of corrosion resistance and D2 like edge retention for extended cutting performance. A top swedge on the clip point delivers a fine tip for piercing and detail work. The grind is satin finished and Krein-sharp. The full tang construction is beautifully satin finished with the Krein Knives Logo and XHP marked on the blade. A subtle index guard and double row jimping on the spine pair with the excellent handle design for solid traction in the hand.

Handle: Green Canvas Micarta handle scales with contrasting red liners are smooth and contoured for comfort on the ergonomically designed handle. The three-finger handle facilitates security and fine control during use while maintaining a very carry friendly package. The scales are attached via a mosaic pin and hollow lanyard tube.

Sheath: ships in a custom-fit black Kydex sheath with ball chain for neck carry.

CTS-XHP: An ultra-high-carbon stainless steel that combines the exceptional corrosion resistance of 440C and wear resistance similar to D2. Thanks to the unique composition and its ability to attain a high hardness, CTS XHP has edge retention somewhere between S30V and ZDP 189. An excellent choice for any knife that is going to see a lot of use.
