Ketuo Triad V3 Review – A Clean, Tactical EDC with Premium Touches

Welcome back, knife fans! Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Ketuo Triad V3, a fresh addition to Ketuo’s growing line of EDC knives. This piece brings a sleek combination of premium materials, thoughtful design, and everyday functionality—all wrapped in a compact, stylish package.

Let’s dive into what makes the Triad V3 worth considering for your carry rotation.


First Impressions – Box & Presentation

Right out of the gate, Ketuo delivers a solid unboxing experience. The box itself features a sleek, modern design, with clean fonts, sharp logos, and a minimalistic color scheme that reflects the knife's aesthetic. On the front and back, you’ll find branded detailing, and inside the box, Ketuo goes the extra mile by including a microfiber cleaning cloth, branded stickers, and a well-protected knife nestled in foam.

It’s clear from the packaging that Ketuo treats this knife not just as a tool—but as a collector-worthy item.


Design & Variants

The Triad V3 currently comes in two variants, with the standout being the black and blue carbon fiber handle. The carbon fiber is not only visually striking but also helps reduce weight without compromising strength.

Both versions are available starting today on our website, so availability shouldn’t be an issue—for now.


In-Hand Feel & Ergonomics

The 4.41” handle offers a comfortable grip for most hand sizes. It’s ergonomically contoured, giving a secure, confident hold whether you’re using it lightly or for heavier cutting tasks. The inclusion of jimping along the spine enhances control, especially for precise cuts.

There's also a lanyard hole for those who like customizing or adding retention options.


Pocket Clip & Carry

Yes, the Triad V3 includes a pocket clip, and better yet—it’s reversible. Whether you're left-handed or just prefer a different orientation, this level of flexibility is a nice touch and something we always like to see on modern EDC knives.


Blade Quality & Deployment

The star of the show is the 3.2” blade made from Böhler M390, a top-tier steel known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade features a harpoon point design, giving it a tactical edge while still being practical for everyday use. With a flat grind and a satin finish, this blade slices smoothly and looks sharp in every sense of the word.

Thumb studs make for easy deployment, and the button lock mechanism is both secure and fidget-friendly. Whether you're opening boxes or just enjoying that satisfying click, the Triad V3 feels precise and dialed in.
