About this line

The KMP line is the collaboration with Charles Marlowe, based on his KMP22. The RKMP, released on 8 November 2025, carries Marlowe's design drawn from turtle anatomy: the blade with its pronounced swedge echoes a fore flipper and the angular handle the edges of a shell. The blade has satin flats, the titanium handle is milled and textured inside and out, and the backspacer carries a pattern of three lines anodized blue; 150 pieces. The RKMP won Knife Collaboration of the Year at Blade Show 2025 in Atlanta. The RKMP Bronze of 24 January 2026 kept the design with bronze anodizing, a satin and stonewash finish on the scales, stonewashed bevels and three bronze lines on the backspacer; 150 pieces. The Molten KMP and Stormy KMP of 20 June 2026, the third project, added inlays of Lava & Ash CarboTi and Wind & Rain CarboTi respectively, with multi-stage anodizing in bronze or blue on the scales and clip, matching backspacer lines and deep internal reliefs; 100 of each.
