Nagirya

The Nagiryu is Darriel Caston’s take on a modern Japanese-inspired gentleman’s folder—clean, precise, and purpose-driven. The long, straight tanto blade, and arched, skeletonized handle echo traditional Japanese design, but everything about this piece is tuned for today’s EDC world. This knife is incredibly slim with a thickness of just .059” (1.5mm) and light weighing just 1.26 oz.  The blade is made out of LC200N which is a high nitrogen alloyed tool steel known for its superior corrosion resistance, high toughness, and excellent machinability, even at hardness levels up to 60 HRc features a double detent lock up. Overall, the knife measures out at 6.53” when open and 3.7” when closed.
