The first Blackout Raptor became a runaway smash hit, and many of those customers asked for the Coyote/Graywash combo...you ask, you shall receive. This new variation Raptor is a thing of beauty (or beast?) depending on your world view. The hawkbill style tip offers an incredible penetrating "bite" into whatever you're cutting, and the straight edge finishes the job. In addition to the curved tip and straight edge 1-2 punch, the edge has a lot of mass behind it with a wide radius blade shape and grind lines traveling towards the tip for extra strength. The G10 handle offers a strong, grippy three finger hold with a large finger guard, textured scales and extended jimping on the spine. The fat belly blade rides on ball bearings which deploys using the jimmped flipper tab. Your grip will be locked in and ready for the task at hand as your thumb will naturally land on the gippy spine. The steel is D2 with a graywash finish. The Raptor rides super deep in your pocket with the option of left hand carry. Bestech built the Raptor for Off-Grid with the usual superb fit and finish and epic action. Add the Raptor to your daily EDC rotation and your life will only get better.
The Raptor blade design was made to cut with precision and authority. Once you sink the curved tip into whatever you're cutting, as you pull or push through, the straight edge will take over and make short work of the job at hand, rumor has it the Raptor is the best box cutter this side of Texas, just sayin'. The Raptor will handle all your EDC tasks and look quite badass in the process. The D2 blade (HRC 60) steel has incredible edge retention, corrosion resistance and it comes razor sharp out of the box. The tumbled graywash DNC coating enhances the corrosion resistance and toughness.
The Raptor is Off-Grid's version of a compact EDC, a three finger grip and under three inch cutting edge, we consider compact. The Raptor will lock into your hand and your thumb will land on the jimping on the spine every time for full grippy leverage. Once you flip the blade and take hold of the handle, you'll know this knife is ready for work.
Off-Grid designed the Raptor and our partners at Bestech built it. Just like our best selling Rhino V2, Baby Rhino, Caiman, Caiman XL, Enforcer, Enforcer XL, Cleaver V2...these guys know how to create buttery smooth action. The Raptor has an ergonomic flipper tab with jimping that will deploy the blade into position with confident lockup.
The Raptor was perhaps the best stealthy predator ever, changing it's skin color to match it's surroundings. In our case, a super deep carry clip with a non-reflective gray finish always keeps your knife on the down low. We also made the screws on the clip flush with the handle, easy in and out of the pocket, no snags. Tip up, left or right hand carry.
The bottom line is, the Raptor is down with whatever you can throw at it, hard work, tough jobs, opening boxes, self defense use and even camping chores. Add in a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, the Raptor is a no-brainer.
