THE NOSAF RAAL KNIFE: FROM CUSTOM REQUEST TO CRITICAL TOOL
I will spend as much time as required to solve a problem that comes with tackling a new knife design. The Nosaf Raal Knife is a direct result. The demand was specific: take my aggressive Nosaf Raal Karambit and refine it into a pure, double-edged tactical knife. A dedicated client requested this model, and when a trusted client's needs push the design envelope, I treat it as an opportunity to build a better tool.
WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?
To refine my aggressive Karambit geometry into a dedicated, pure double-edged tactical blade.
PIKAL PERFORMANCE. SABRE VERSATILITY.
This is a blade built for the Pikal technique (both reverse grip and edge up). The final balance is PERFECT (the customer's own words, not mine). However, the new handle design (an optimized handle profile borrowed from the Kadesh dagger) transitions seamlessly to the traditional Sabre grip, offering full flexibility for dedicated and adaptable tactical use.
CALCULATED DESIGN FOR CONCEALMENT
I chose a 2mm thick stock for maximum simplicity, concealment and speed.
I also made the calculated move to use stainless steel on this model. This choice isn't for aesthetics, but for the fundamental practicality of corrosion resistance. You get absolute reliability and minimal maintenance, allowing you to focus on the critical tasks.
The Nosaf Raal Knife is minimal design for maximum consequence. It’s a dedicated, double-edged problem solver.
