Product Description
The Squid Industries Krake Raken V3 is the latest revision of one of Squid's most popular balisong platforms, built around a 4.50" tanto blade in AEB-L stainless steel and housed in a two-tone DT (dual-tone) silver and black aluminum handle set. The V3 update refines the channel construction and pivot system from earlier Raken generations, giving flippers a smoother, more consistent swing without sacrificing the durability the line is known for.
The blade is AEB-L stainless steel, a Swedish steel known for its toughness and ease of sharpening, ground into a tanto profile that holds up well to hard use while still taking a clean, functional edge. Paired with the Krake Raken's proven channel construction, it's a combination built for flippers who want a blade that performs as well as it flips.
The handle is precision-machined aluminum finished in Squid Industries' DT silver/black dual-tone treatment, giving the Raken V3 a contrasting two-color look that highlights the channel construction from every angle. Squid Industries backs every Raken V3 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturing defects and ongoing tuning support, a level of aftercare not common in the balisong space.

Warranty Information
Squid Industries backs the Krake Raken V3 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. For any covered issue or manufacturing defect within the first 30 days of delivery, Squid Industries covers 100% of replacement parts, repair labor, and shipping costs both ways. After 30 days, warranty labor and maintenance remain free for the lifetime of the product, though the customer is responsible for return shipping and the cost of any non-defect replacement parts. Covered issues include manufacturing defects (loose pins, missing factory parts, incorrect engraving, out-of-the-box cosmetic blemishes) and maintenance/performance issues (tap, handle play, stiff handles, spinning or stuck pivots, stripped hardware). Squid Industries does not sell individual replacement bushings; bushing replacement requires sending the balisong in for warranty service. Unauthorized modifications or conversions void the warranty, as do purchases from unauthorized secondary retailers. Squid Industries may deny service and charge return shipping for items sent in dirty or contaminated condition, and is not liable for items lost, damaged, or stolen in transit to their facility. To file a claim, submit a support ticket at squidindustries.co or squidindustriesknives.co (or email info@squidindustries.co) with your name, order number, product details, and photos of the issue; once approved, you'll receive a Warranty Merchandise Authorization (WMA) number and must include the printed WMA form with your shipment.Specifications
