The Back Door: T.Kell Piranha 2.2" Fixed Blade, 80CRV2 NiB Battleworn, Full Tang, Blem Model – Made in USA

This item is listed in The Back Door.

This knife is listed in The Back Door. It is a blem model from T.Kell Knives, meaning it carries a minor cosmetic imperfection that did not meet T.Kell's standard for a full-price sale. The imperfection is cosmetic only. The knife is fully functional with no issues affecting performance or carry. It was used to cut a sheet of rule paper and has never been carried. It is otherwise in new condition.

Pocket-sized fixed blade. NiB Battleworn. Veteran made.

The T.Kell Piranha is a compact full-tang fixed blade designed to carry in a pocket or around the neck with zero print. At 5.7" overall with a 2.2" 80CRV2 blade, it is small enough to genuinely disappear on the body while still delivering the strength and reliability of a fixed blade with no moving parts. 80CRV2 is a stainless steel chosen for stainless performance with edge retention that competes with higher alloy options. T.Kell applies their proprietary dual-temper and deep cryogenic heat treatment to each blade, and the NiB Battleworn coating adds surface hardness and corrosion resistance on top of the base steel's properties.

T.Kell Knives is a veteran-owned family business designed and built by a United States Marine Corps veteran in the NW Georgia and Chattanooga area. Every knife is backed by their Life of the Knife no-questions-asked warranty. As a blem model it carries a cosmetic imperfection, but the steel, the grind, the coating, and the warranty are all identical to a full-price Piranha.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Piranha blem is the smartest value in this Back Door drop. You get the T.Kell heat treatment, the NiB coating, the Life of the Knife warranty, and a blade that was cut exactly once. The cosmetic imperfection is why the price is where it is.

Why This T.Kell Piranha Stands Out

• 2.2" 80CRV2
• NiB Battleworn Coating, Nickel Boron surface treatment for hardness and corrosion resistance
• Full Tang Construction, no moving parts, maximum strength for the size
• 5.7" Overall Length, genuinely pocketable and neck-carry friendly
• Life of the Knife no-questions-asked warranty
• Blem designation is cosmetic only, all performance specs are identical to full-price
• Designed by a USMC veteran, made in NW Georgia

Why You'll Want It

The Piranha blem gets you everything that makes T.Kell worth carrying at a price that reflects a mark the maker noticed and you might not. Nitro-V, NiB coating, full tang, and a lifetime warranty on a fixed blade that actually fits in a pocket. That combination at a Back Door price is a straightforward decision.
