Introducing the Sangin Knives Raider, a blade steeped in history and crafted meticulously. This knife marks a significant collaboration in prior years between Jake Servantes, the visionary founder of Sangin Instruments, and Connor Toor of Toor Knives. In early 2015, driven by a desire to create a custom fixed blade for the dedicated members of the Marine Raider Battalion, Jake sought Connor's expertise. Frustrated with the mass-produced knives that often failed in demanding situations, he teamed up with Connor to design a knife that captured the classical essence of a reliable fixed blade while honoring the high-quality craftsmanship that elite Marines deserved.
The result of their collaborative efforts was the original Raider knife, specifically designed in a drop point configuration and made exclusively for the Marine Raiders. This unique blade became a symbol of pride among those who wielded it, as it was never produced for the general market. After years of custom Raider builds, Jake and Connor decided to archive the design, preserving its legacy. Now, nearly a decade later, Jake is excited to reintroduce the Raider under the Sangin Knives brand, infusing the original spirit with advanced technology and metallurgical improvements to meet the demands of modern users.
The new Raider knife is constructed from CPM Magnacut steel, a revolutionary material known for its exceptional balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. These properties make the Raider perfect for harsh environments, whether for rugged adventures or daily tasks outdoors. Additionally, the Raider features expertly ground bevels at slightly different angles, enhancing sharpening longevity and a beautiful false edge grind on the blade's top for reduced puncturing resistance.
Complementing its performance, the Raider showcases stunning 6061 aluminum handles adorned with either G10 or micarta inlays, blending superior durability with aesthetic variations that match any style. These handles are elegantly secured with flared brass tube stock, providing a refined finish that speaks to the Raider's heritage. Whether used for tactical purposes or displayed as a stunning mantle piece, the Raider can truly be cherished as a family heirloom passed down through generations. Its robust construction and classic design honor the original Raider spirit while offering contemporary enhancements. The Raider includes a suede-lined Kydex sheath for seamless drawing and comfort alongside an Ulticlip belt mount for versatile carrying options.
This reimagined version of the Raider knife pays homage to the heart and soul of the original design created by Jake and Connor back in 2015. It solidifies its place in the legacy of excellence that defines Sangin Knives. Experience the tradition; own a piece of history with the Sangin Knives Raider.
