Piratech Tsunami

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.

Piratech Tsunami Titanium / Satin – Ein Messer auf absolutem Top-Niveau

Das Piratech Tsunami Titanium in der Satin-Ausführung ist ein Messer, das vom ersten Moment an begeistert und den Begriff Premium voll und ganz verdient. Verarbeitung, Design und Funktion greifen hier auf beeindruckende Weise ineinander. Schon beim ersten Kontakt wird die außergewöhnlich hohe Fertigungsqualität deutlich. Die Titan-Scales sind makellos verarbeitet, sauber entgratet und liegen hervorragend in der Hand. Das Handling ist schlicht exzellent: perfekt ausbalanciert, sicher und gleichzeitig angenehm leicht. Ein Messer, das sich intuitiv führen lässt und sofort Vertrauen vermittelt. Ein echtes Highlight ist der Öffnungsmechanismus. Die Klinge läuft seidenweich und wird von einem satten, wertigen Sound begleitet, der jedem Messerenthusiasten ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubert. Dieses akustische Feedback unterstreicht die Präzision der Mechanik und macht jedes Öffnen zu einem kleinen Erlebnis. Der Verschluss überzeugt auf ganzer Linie: absolut zuverlässig, sauber einrastend und mit einem klar definierten Lock-Up. Kein Spiel, kein Zweifel – hier sitzt alles exakt dort, wo es hingehört. Ein deutliches Zeichen für durchdachte Konstruktion und höchste Qualitätsansprüche. Auch optisch setzt das Tsunami ein starkes Statement. Die satinierte Klinge wirkt elegant und technisch, bringt aber gleichzeitig genügend Aggressivität mit, um den Performance-Charakter des Messers zu unterstreichen. Das Klingendesign ist harmonisch proportioniert, funktional und dennoch charakterstark. In Kombination mit den Titan-Scales, die modern, klar und hochwertig gestaltet sind, ergibt sich ein stimmiges Gesamtbild, das sowohl Nutzer als auch Sammler anspricht. Ein kleiner, aber erwähnenswerter Punkt: Die Titan-Scales sind – wie bei fein satiniertem Titan üblich – relativ anfällig für sogenannte „Snails“ (feine Gebrauchsspuren). Diese entstehen im Alltag recht schnell, beeinträchtigen jedoch weder Funktion noch Stabilität. Vielmehr verleihen sie dem Messer mit der Zeit eine individuelle Patina. Nutzer werden dies eher als Charaktermerkmal sehen, während Sammler mit Fokus auf makellose Optik diesen Punkt im Hinterkopf behalten sollten. Fazit: Das Piratech Tsunami Titanium / Satin ist ein Messer für Liebhaber kompromissloser Qualität. Großartiges Handling, ein traumhafter Öffnungssound, ein exzellenter Verschluss und ein durchdachtes, ästhetisches Design machen es zu einem echten Highlight in jeder Sammlung – und zu einem Werkzeug, das man immer wieder gerne in die Hand nimmt. Ein Messer, das nicht nur überzeugt, sondern begeistert.

Our feedback: Wow. vielen lieben Dank für die ausführliche Bewertung! Ganz viel Freude mit deinem Piratech. Maxi

⚠️ Safety Information for Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium magnets are extremely strong – please handle them responsibly. Below is an overview of the most important safety warnings:

Crushing hazard

These magnets attract each other at high speed and can pinch skin or fingers. Injuries such as bruises or fractures are possible. Handle with care.

Strong magnetic force

Uncontrolled collisions between magnets or with metal objects can cause damage or splintering. Broken magnets may have sharp edges. Wearing protective gloves is recommended.

Not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowed magnets can be life-threatening, as they may attract each other inside the body and cause serious internal injuries. Keep out of reach of children at all times.

Electronic devices

Strong magnetic fields can interfere with or damage electronic devices such as smartphones, credit cards, hard drives, or pacemakers. Maintain a safe distance of at least 20 cm from such devices.

Fire and explosion hazard

Magnets must not be machined, drilled, or cut, as they may splinter or ignite. High temperatures (above 80 °C) can permanently reduce their magnetic strength.

Temperature resistance

Standard neodymium magnets are not resistant to high temperatures. Do not store them near ovens, heaters, or in direct sunlight.

Piratech Tsunami Griffschalen – Bild 3
Piratech Tsunami Griffschalen
Version: 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.

Piratech Tsunami Griffschalen
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.

Piratech Tsunami Griffschalen
Version: 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.

Piratech Kraken Griffschalen
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.

Piratech Tsunami Griffschalen
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 – Bild 3
Piratech Zirconium Anchor
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.
