Unboxing the Raven

Right out of the gate, the presentation on the Tenable Raven sets the tone. The box features a sleek matte black design with the Tenable Knives logo proudly displayed in a metallic finish across the front. The minimalist font choice gives it a clean, modern look, while the back of the box includes a subtle product outline and basic specs — a nice touch for collectors who appreciate attention to detail.

Inside the box, Tenable includes a few thoughtful extras:

• A microfiber cleaning cloth

• A Tenable logo sticker

• And of course, the Raven itself, safely nestled in a foam insert

It’s clear that Tenable wanted to deliver a premium unboxing experience without overcomplicating things.

Design and Build

The Raven immediately feels solid in hand. The black Micarta handle gives it a natural, grippy texture that improves with use and wear, developing that unique patina we all love. The handle measures 4.43 inches, offering a comfortable, full-hand grip without feeling bulky in the pocket.

There’s no lanyard hole on this model, which keeps the silhouette clean and streamlined — a choice some will appreciate for aesthetics. The pocket clip is reversible, making it friendly for both left- and right-handed users, and it rides relatively deep in the pocket. It’s a practical everyday carry option that won’t draw unwanted attention.

Lockup is handled by a crossbar lock, which provides that satisfying fidget factor and reliable strength. The action is smooth and consistent, allowing for easy one-handed operation.

Blade and Performance

The Raven’s 3.14-inch blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a well-balanced choice known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The drop point blade style gives you a versatile cutting profile, ideal for everyday use — from slicing boxes to light food prep.

The rose gold-coated finish really makes the blade stand out. It’s not only visually striking but also offers an extra layer of protection against wear. The flat grind provides excellent cutting performance, and yes — the Raven includes thumb studs for smooth manual deployment. Up top, you’ll find jimping along the spine, giving your thumb a solid purchase during precise cuts.
