You’ve never seen a Ken Onion knife like this. One of the most revered knife designers in the industry has built himself a legendary reputation on intriguing curves and flawless flow. The limited-edition Panache™ everyday carry folding knife is a stark departure. Stealth lines and extremely precise grind accents and points define this highly exclusive knife. Each is numbered individually to 550. They won’t last for long.

Ken Onion has turned out countless industry-defining knives from his shop in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The Panache™ is no exception. Inspired by stealth bombers, Ken grabbed his ruler and hit the drawing board to create a knife that’s defined by exacting lines.

This new design balances a high-quality CTS® XHP modified tanto blade with a titanium handle fortified with a grippy carbon fiber inlay that doesn’t let up in style nor utility. The IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system helps it fire up at high speed and a frame lock keeps it secure when you’re elbows deep in projects.

Ken Onion reintroduces himself as a legendary designer with the limited-edition Panache™.

CRKT’S LIFETIME WARRANTY.

A very special thank you to CRKT and all of their team for this valuable contribution to an AKTI member!
