Kurt Merriken - Karma (Brushed Ti Frame) - sold
A striking example of modern precision and design, this Karma model by Kurt Merriken showcases the maker’s signature blend of performance and artistry. The blade is crafted from premium MagnaCut steel with a hand-rubbed satin finish that highlights both its grind and clean lines. Dual Zirconium thumb studs provide smooth, controlled deployment, while the blade rides effortlessly on Skiff bearings for exceptional action.
The Titanium frame lock is executed with a refined brushed finish, accented by distinctive speed holes on the presentation side—adding both visual interest and weight reduction. Zirconium is carried throughout the build, including the pivot and floating backspacer. Completing the piece is a custom tip-up pocket clip in striking Zircuti, offering a subtle yet vibrant contrast.
Acquired directly from the maker through the Blade Show Texas 2026 lottery, this knife remains in brand new condition—an increasingly scarce opportunity to obtain one of Merriken’s highly sought-after builds.
