Notorious Kingpin Slipjoint Jigged Titanium

Notorious EDC Kingpin - classic meets modern


The Kingpin from Notorious EDC is a slipjoint that could hardly be more modern - and yet is deeply rooted in classic knife traditions. The idea that Stan Lee's Marvel character “Kingpin” could carry this very knife in the inside pocket of his jacket gives the design an iconic touch - and makes this knife far more than just a practical tool. 

 Tom Medvedich's idea of a modern gentleman's folder is evident in every detail: the slim handle sits comfortably and securely in the hand thanks to a discreetly indicated recessed grip. A milled groove on the titanium handle provides visual depth and is reminiscent of a classic bolster. 

The blade stands out in particular: hollow-ground from Magnacut steel, with a long fuller and a striking Harpoon tip - a design that makes knife-loving hearts beat faster. The version offered here features a jigged pattern on the titanium handle scales - a deliberate reminiscence of the classic slipjoints of the 19th century, whose handle scales were traditionally often made of textured bone. This textured pattern not only gives the knife additional grip, but also an aesthetic depth that perfectly combines old craftsmanship and modern manufacturing. The Kingpin thus symbolizes a renaissance of the slipjoint knife: classic mechanics meet high-tech materials such as titanium and powder metallurgical steel.

 The combination of functionality, design and historical echoes makes it an exceptional EDC. The Kingpin is manufactured by Reate - which stands for absolute top quality. Thanks to the slipjoint design, it is also legal to carry in many European countries. This makes it the ideal companion for all those who not only want to carry function and character in their pocket carry, but also that certain something. The Kingpin is supplied with high-quality leather briefs and a cleaning cloth. Available in two versions: Black PVD and Titan Beadblast - each with a jigged pattern on the handle scales.

Für mich das perfekte Slip Joint

Zu allererst muss man sagen, dass ich vermutlich eigentlich gar nicht die Zielgruppe für dieses Messer bin. Ich bin normalerweise eher der Mensch für Hosentaschen Fixed Blades aber irgendwas an diesem Messer hat mich direkt gecatched. Und was soll ich sagen, ich hab das Messer mittlerweile täglich dabei und freue mich jedes Mal darüber, wenn ich es für meine kleinen Alltagsaufgaben heraushole. Der Hohlschliff gleitet perfekt durch alles, was ich dem Messer anbiete und schnappt so befriedigend zurück in den Griff, wenn es seine Arbeit erledigt hat. Auch der Griff fühlt sich mit seiner gehämmerten Textur unglaublich gut in meinen Händen an, einzig die kleine Schraube am Griffrücken unterbricht die Haptik, da sie leicht heraussteht. Mich persönlich stört das nicht aber da gibt es bestimmt auch andere Meinungen. Zu guter Letzt rundet die mitgelieferte Leader Sleeve das ganze Paket perfekt ab. Mittlerweile hat das Leder bei mir richtig Charakter bekommen und macht das Messer perfekt für meine Hosentasche. Und Danke, Danke dafür dass es keinen Clip gibt. Als Fixed Blade Mensch hätte ich für den sowieso keine Verwendung gehabt. Also falls ihr sonst keine Slipjoints mögt, gebt dem hier eine Chance, ich habe es keine Sekunde bereut.

Our feedback: Wow vielen Dank! :)

Warning / Safety Notice:

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
