It is known for its outstanding toughness, which allows it to withstand heavy impact and shock loads without cracking or chipping. It also offers exceptional wear resistance, making it well-suited for use in cutting tools and other applications that involve high levels of wear and abrasion.

KATSU FA02 features a titanium alloy main body frame, resulting in a substantial weight reduction compared to its predecessor. Weighing only 650g (21% lighter than KATSU FA01), KATSU FA02 provides an improved balance, bringing the center of gravity closer to the blade for an enhanced user experience.

Fluorescent Carbon Fiber Grip

Upgraded from G10, the vibrant Green Fluorescent Carbon Fiber Grip not only does it elevate the aesthetics of the knife, but it also offers excellent visibility and a pleasant feel, particularly in low-light or no-light environments.

K-Sheath

We are delighted to announce that your purchase of KATSU FA02 comes with the K-Sheath, making it convenient for outdoor carry and ensuring you always have your trusty companion by your side.

Axis Lock

The Axis system works using a small, hardened spring loaded bar that moves back and forth in a slot made into both steel liners.

Due to its integrated build, the Axis allows for ambidextrous operation easily and quickly. In addition, its overall construction allows for even greater engagement with the tang as the knife is in use.

Overall, the Axis mechanism allows for quick and secure deployment of the blade, improving the strength of a typical folding knife with this construction.

A multipurpose bolt

The multipurpose bolt can be used as a glass breaker, which also can be quickly assembled on the blade to reinforced it well and safe.
