Raikou - Black PVD/Belt Satin

NOTE: Black/Gold Raikous will ship out in approximately 2 weeks.

Raikou, also spelled Raiju, is the companion of Raiden and the two are ultimately intertwined. While Raiden is the God of thunder and lightning, Raikou is better known as the thunder beast. Whose physical form usually takes on that of a fox cloaked in lightning. They are powerful, loyal, and intelligent creatures whose speed remains unseen and is often mistaken for lightning. Our new model encapsulates the soul and beauty of the thunder beast and thus, we named it Raikou.

Built upon the foundation of our renowned Raiden model, Raikou takes utility, performance, and craftsmanship to new heights. Raikou boasts a formidable 3.45" CPM S90V straight wharncliffe blade that strikes a perfect balance of toughness and edge retention.
