Tom Krein Custom TK-4 Mini-Bowie Hole Milled Blue/Black G10 Satin Nitro-V Fixed Blade 4401

The TK-4 custom fixed blade from Tom Krein is one of Tom’s iconic signature designs with his highly ergonomic handle construction and performance oriented hollow ground blade. This Mini-Bowie is a slicing powerhouse offering just over 2.75 inches of razor sharp cutting edge in a compact, EDC platform. This version comes with a satin finished Nitro-V blade and speed hole milled, blasted blue and black layered G10 handles with black Micarta pins.

Brand new, direct from Krein Knives, USA.

Blade: The short blade of the TK-4 offers the power of a full size hunting knife with the maneuverability of a bird and trout knife. The satin finished Nitro-V stainless steel blade is hollow ground to a very fine, high performance edge with solid durability. The iconic Bowie clip point tapers to deliver a fine tip for piercing and detail work. An integral guard pairs with the handle design and spine jimping for security in the hand. While technically a hunting design the TK-4 is equally functional for daily carry or woodcraft.

Handle: Ergonomic, blasted G10 scales are contoured for comfort paired with weight reducing, speed hole milling for excellent traction and a secure grip. Black Micarta pins add a subtle visual element while the curving, neutral handle design locks the hand in without compromising versatility for multiple grip options. An oversize hollow tube is provided for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a Kydex sheath with large Tek-Lok.

Nitro-V Stainless Steel: Essentially AEB-L with added Nitrogen and Vanadium, Nitro-V is a very fine-grained, easy to sharpen steel with good edge retention and excellent edge stability allowing a thinner edge and enhanced slicing ability. Nitrogen greatly improves corrosion resistance.
