Miguron Karok - 3.4" Stonewashed D2, Purple Carbon Fibre Handle, Bronze Clip

Carbon fibre on a knife at this price is unusual. Carbon fibre in purple is rarer still — and that's exactly the point.

The blade is the same 3.4" D2 cleaver-style stonewash that makes the standard Karok a genuinely capable everyday carry. 62–63 HRC, consistent finish, sharp out of the box and easy to maintain in the field. Nothing has been changed here because nothing needed to be.

One detail worth knowing about Miguron's D2 that sets them apart from most of the competition: the hardness has been pushed to 62–63 HRC and independently verified — not a factory claim, but a tested result. That matters more than it might sound. Most production D2 knives are heat-treated to 58–60 HRC, which is the safer, easier range to manufacture to consistently. Pushing D2 to 62–63 HRC requires tighter heat treatment control and higher quality steel stock, but the payoff is meaningfully better edge retention — you're sharpening less often, and the edge that comes back is sharper and holds longer. At the price Miguron charges, 62–63 HRC D2 is genuinely unusual, and the independent verification means you're not just taking their word for it.

The handle is purple carbon fibre — the colour runs through the woven material itself, not applied as a coating over standard black CF. The result is a handle with all the properties that make carbon fibre desirable (rigid, lightweight, chemically inert, excellent grip texture when textured) paired with a visual identity that makes this knife immediately recognisable in a drawer or on a desk. The bronze clip is a deliberate contrast against the purple — warm metal tone against cool composite — and it's a combination that works better in hand than it might sound on paper.

Like all Karok variants, this version runs a button liner lock — spine-actuated closure that keeps your thumb well clear of the blade on every close.

Another Blade Forge exclusive, specially ordered for customers who want something the standard range doesn't offer.
