The Raptor XL is an “old” knife that was recently brought back to life and placed back into production.
The knife was designed back in the “Bad Son Blades” days (before being rebranded to ARMIS) as a large fighting/combat style knife that has great ergonomics in the forward or reverse grip.
"Raptor" is a Latin term originating from rapere ("to seize or take by force") and rapiō ("I snatch/grab"). Historically, it refers to one who seizes by force, commonly used for birds of prey or animals with sharp talons. You definitely get that PRIMAL feeling when holding this knife in hand!
This knife also comes standard with a Swedge which you can choose to be sharpened or unsharpened.
Comes standard with an unsharpened swedge, taco style sheath and a lanyard hole (there will be a Ambi/Deep style sheath available soon).
