Piratech Slippy Kraken
€299.00
A slipjoint done right. The Slippy Kraken combines smart design, everyday legality, and real cutting performance. Minimalist, modern, and ready for your pocket.
Piratech Slippy Kraken – The Slipjoint, Reimagined
The Slippy Kraken isn’t a throwback to old-school knives – it’s a bold redesign. Piratech has taken the slipjoint concept, broken it down, and rebuilt it with modern tech and clever engineering. The result is a knife that’s legal to carry in most parts of Germany – and still plays in the top league when it comes to materials and function.
This isn’t the knife you carry just because you have to. This is the one you want to carry.
Tool-free inlay swapping with MagSnap
Thanks to a magnetic mechanism, the inlays stay rock-solid during use but can be changed in seconds – no tools, no hassle. Ideal if you like switching things up from time to time.
Recurved backspring meets ergonomic design
The spring is reverse-tensioned – sounds weird, feels great. This construction allows for a naturally curved handle without sacrificing mechanical stability. It fits your hand like it was made just for you.
118-degree mid-stop – smarter than the standard
Most slipjoints stop at 90 degrees. Sounds fine, but in practice it puts your fingers at risk. The Slippy Kraken uses a 118° stop, meaning the blade is further away from your fingers if it ever starts to close unintentionally. Small detail, big safety bonus – especially when applying thumb pressure or during closing.
Spring tension adjustment – your knife, your feel
Crisp and snappy or smooth and easy? You decide. The backspring tension is fully adjustable, giving you total control over the action.
Compact spring, more usable blade
Because of the smart internal design, more space is available for the blade. You’re getting full performance in a slipjoint-friendly format – no compromises necessary.
The Slippy Kraken isn’t a backup solution. It’s proof that a slipjoint can be modern, capable, and completely ready for daily carry – with no trade-offs in design, feel, or function.
Piratech Tsunami
€349.00
Modular. Magnetic. Seriously innovative.
The Kraken isn’t just any folder – it’s the debut model from Piratech, a young and forward-thinking brand that’s shaking up the knife world. And they’re kicking things off with a real game-changer: the patented Mag-Snap™ system.
What is the Mag-Snap™ system?
Instead of using screws to secure the handle scales, Piratech went all in on precision-engineered magnets. The titanium scales snap on and off tool-free, held in place firmly and seamlessly – no rattling, no hassle.
This gives you the freedom to customize and swap scales in seconds, without ever reaching for a screwdriver.
And the rest? Just as impressive.
The sheepsfoot blade, crafted from premium CPM-S90V steel, offers exceptional edge retention and a clean hand-satin finish. The bead blasted titanium handle feels solid and refined in hand, with a robust framelock mechanism to back it all up.
A deep-carry pocket clip, cleverly hidden and reversible for left or right-hand carry, ensures the Kraken rides low and secure in your pocket. The action is smooth, the fit and finish top-tier – this knife means business.

Nova Purple
If space could craft a tool, it would look like this. The Nova Purple scales aren’t just accessories—they’re attitude. Made for makers, carriers, and rebels who are done with blending in.
Machined from solid aerospace titanium and finished with a crystallized heat treatment called Nebula Coating, these scales reflect light like starlight trapped in a prism. In the sun, they shimmer with a violet glow that feels straight out of another galaxy.
But don’t be fooled by the shine—this isn’t about looks alone. Nova Purple was built to outlast trends, tasks, and time itself. The "Sharded Ice" texture adds grip where it matters most, giving you full control even when things get wild.
What’s in the box:
One pair of titanium scales with four strong magnets each
One titanium filler piece
One precision-milled titanium clip

Bead Blast DLC Titanium
Kraken Scales – Blast DLC
Clean. Durable. Classic.
At first glance, the Blast DLC Scales look just like the classic bead-blasted titanium scales. But look a little closer, and you'll notice the finer blasting grit—and most importantly, the Stubborn DLC coating developed by Piratech.
What makes them special?
You get that familiar, understated look, now with upgraded performance: exceptional scratch resistance, excellent corrosion protection, and a refined, semi-transparent black finish.
What is "Stubborn DLC"?
This custom DLC coating by Piratech is ultra-thin (around 2 μm) but incredibly tough. In testing, TC4 titanium at 32–36 HRC easily withstood repeated contact with S90V cutting edges at 61–62 HRC.
Thanks to its thinness, the coating preserves the texture and detail of the blasted titanium beneath—just with a sleek light black tint that shifts subtly between dark gray and black, giving it a clean yet premium look.
Specs:
Handle length: 112.02 mm / 4.41"
Handle width: 25.96 mm / 1.02"
Material: Titanium
Finish: 220 Grit Blast & Stubborn DLC
Weight: 50 g / 1.76 oz
Package includes:
1 pair of titanium scales (with 8 embedded magnets)
1 titanium filler piece
1 milled titanium clip
A perfect choice for anyone who loves the classic aesthetic—just with a serious performance boost.

Version:
Black Pearl (Zirconium)
Dark. Dense. Distinct.
The Black Pearl Scales are crafted from solid zirconium – carefully hand-polished and torch-burned to achieve their signature deep-black, almost mysterious finish.
The result is a smooth, polished surface with a subtle metallic shimmer. Clean, elegant, and anything but ordinary.
Please note:
This set includes two plain zirconium handle scales – no filler tab and no pocket clip. It’s a minimalist design, focused purely on the beauty of the material.
Why so limited?
Zirconium has a very high thermal expansion and contraction rate, which makes it extremely tricky to work with. Every step of the process – from polishing to heat treatment – must be done slowly and precisely to stay within tight tolerances.
Because of this, the production time is around 6 months, and availability is limited to small, occasional batches – similar to the Mirror Polished DLC Kraken.
Specs:
Material: Zirconium
Finish: Polish + Heat Treat
Pattern: None
Color: Black
Handle length: 112.02 mm / 4.41"
Handle width: 25.96 mm / 1.02"
Weight: 70.5 g / 2.49 oz
If you're looking to give your Kraken something truly rare and visually striking – this is it.

Golden Beach & Summer Waves (Titanium Anodized)
Summer vibes. Pocket-sized.
These special Kraken scales were created through a close collaboration with an entropic anodizing artist from a southern Chinese city known not only for its knife-making tradition but also for its beautiful coastline and beaches.
When the idea came up to bring wearable art onto titanium knife scales – something small enough to fit in your pocket – the artist was instantly inspired. Using a gas torch and his unique skill, he painted his very first piece directly on titanium: golden beaches and gentle summer waves, a heartfelt tribute to his seaside hometown.
Each Golden Beach & Summer Waves set is individually crafted by hand – no two are exactly alike. Because of the time and care involved, availability is very limited, and small batches are released occasionally by Piratech.
Specs:
Material: Titanium
Finish: Entropic Anodized + Mirror Polish
Pattern: Golden Beach & Summer Waves
Weight: 50 g / 1.76 oz
Package includes:
1 pair of titanium scales (with 8 embedded magnets)
1 titanium filler piece
1 milled titanium clip
A pocket-sized piece of summer – full of color, artistry, and warm-weather energy.

Version:
Lightning (Titanium Anodized)
A touch of alchemy for your EDC.
The Entropic Anodized Scales are true one-of-a-kind pieces – each pair is crafted through an elaborate process that feels more like artisan work than mass production. Starting with precisely milled titanium scales, each set is hand-polished, chemically treated, and then entropically anodized.
The result?
A shimmering, gemstone-like surface with vibrant color play and the distinctive Lightning Pattern. Reflective but not flashy. Smooth but with grip. Elegant but wild.
How does it work?
Entropic anodizing involves temperature, acid, and perfect timing – a real art form. Temperature variations create the patterns, while acid and flame bring out the colors. Afterward, the surface is passivated to preserve the finish and give it a tactile feel that’s reminiscent of jade or polished stone.
Good to know:
Because each set is made by hand, availability is always very limited. New pieces are produced irregularly by Piratech, and we’re always happy when we’re able to secure a few sets for you.
Specs:
Handle length: 112.02 mm / 4.41"
Handle width: 25.96 mm / 1.02"
Material: Titanium
Finish: Entropic Anodized + Mirror Polish
Pattern: Lightning Pattern
Weight: 50 g / 1.76 oz
Package includes:
1 pair of titanium scales (with 8 embedded magnets)
1 titanium filler piece
1 milled titanium clip
A true statement piece for those who want their Kraken to stand out – both in function and in looks.

Version:
HandSatin DLC Titanium
As refined as a classic timepiece. As tough as a pirate’s will.
These Kraken Scales in Hand Satin DLC are what happens when high-end watch aesthetics meet serious EDC performance. Inspired by the satin finishes of premium watches—think Apple Watch Black Titanium—Piratech spent countless hours finding just the right grit of sandpaper to create ultra-fine lines on titanium. Then they added their signature Stubborn DLC coating to take it to the next level.
The result?
A deep, almost mirror-like black finish with subtle striping that glows under the surface. It’s not pitch black—it’s something more refined: a translucent dark tone with depth and character. Like a luxury timepiece you can bolt onto your Kraken.
Why Stubborn DLC?
Wear & corrosion resistance: Tested to take on S90V and win.
Ultra-thin coating: Just ~2 μm thick, so all the fine details stay visible.
Elegant dark tone: Somewhere between light gray and black, with a hint of transparency for extra visual punch.
Specs:
Handle length: 112.02 mm / 4.41"
Handle width: 25.96 mm / 1.02"
Material: TC4 Titanium
Finish: Hand Satin + Stubborn DLC
Weight: 50 g / 1.76 oz
In the box:
1 pair of titanium scales (with 8 embedded magnets)
1 titanium filler piece
1 titanium milled clip
If you're looking to give your Kraken an upgrade that screams premium while staying battle-ready—this is it.

Piratech Zirconium Anchor
€89.00
Black Pearl Zirconium Clip
A bit of treasure for your Kraken.
An anchor belongs to every pirate ship—and if you’ve already joined the Piratech fleet, you’ll want the perfect companion for your Zirconium Kraken scales: the Black Pearl Anchor.
Crafted from polished and heat-treated zirconium, this piece is more of a functional ornament than a traditional pocket clip. While it can serve as a clip for thinner pants, its real strength lies in its look: sleek, nautical, and mysterious.
Production Time:
Like the Mirror Polished DLC Kraken, the Black Pearl Anchor is released in small batches. The current handling time is around 3 months.
Why does it take that long?
Zirconium can be a tricky material to work with. Due to its high thermal expansion and contraction rates, each piece must be slowly hand-polished and torch-burned with extreme care to maintain tight tolerances. It’s a time-consuming process, but it ensures that every Black Pearl Anchor meets the high standards it deserves.
Specs:
Length: 43.2 mm / 1.7"
Width: 19.65 mm / 0.77"
Material: Zirconium
Finish: Polished + Heat Treated
Weight: 7 g / 0.25 oz
Package includes:
1 zirconium pocket clip (with two magnets embedded)
Whether you wear it as a sleek clip or a statement piece, the Black Pearl Anchor adds real pirate flair to your knife.
