Inspired by the Cosmos

From the endless play of light across cosmic rifts comes a new vision of the Parallel—an S35VN stonewashed blade paired with Iridescent Crackle Titanium. In this Parallel, the universe's infinite palette unfolds across the handle, shifting like nebulae under starlight.

 

Cut with Confidence

At its core lies a 2.90" S35VN reverse tanto blade, honed for piercing accuracy and controlled slicing. Whether it's opening parcels, slicing cords, trimming paper, or prepping snacks, the blade turns mundane tasks into seamless acts of precision.

 

Ultra-Thin & Lightweight

The titanium frame, just 0.28" (7.10mm) thin and weighing 2.36 oz, remains one of the most portable designs in its class. Its slim silhouette ensures effortless carry, while its strength is anything but fragile.

 

Art in Anodization

The Iridescent Crackle Titanium handle features a vivid, rainbow-like anodized finish with bold black crackle lines, echoing the cosmic fractures of parallel universes. This striking pattern is achieved through a fusion of controlled anodizing voltages and precision laser engraving, locking vibrant colors into a permanent spectrum. The result is a finish that feels alive in its intensity—bright, bold, and unmistakably unique. After extensive testing with color palettes and voltage ranges, we refined the process to achieve a surface that is both visually stunning and technically enduring.

 

The Science Behind Every Detail

Like the architect's blueprint embodied in steel, every line and measurement of the Parallel speaks of intention. With ambidextrous cross-bar lock, dual thumb studs, a streamlined clip, and a precisely cut triangle-shaped lanyard hole, its form is as functional as it is mesmerizing. This vairant is a celebration of both artistry and engineering—a knife as dynamic as the cosmos itself.
