About two years ago we placed a highly customized order with MKT and now they are trickling in. First on the block was a full custom Praetorian Ti that we asked Greg and Amy to throw every option at it. In short, it's an incredible knife and the perfect representation of what MKT can do from cpm3v blade to a beautifully matched anodized sculpted handle to the timascus clip. Please enjoy,

This Praetorian Ti is a true one-off custom that we challenged the MKT team to build. First was that we wanted every option possible with a matching theme that includes sculpting to enhance the beauty and ergonomics of this already iconic design. You'll see an incredible matching that began with a fully milled timascus pocket clip that bronzes and golds run through the purples and violets - all pulled through the handle design and theme. Hand sculpted perfection, this custom is a grail for any collection but make no mistake...with the cpm3v blade and robust design it's ready for extreme hard use.
Praetorian Guards were elite men chosen from the Legions of Rome to serve as personal protectors of the Emperor. The MKT Praetorian Ti is just such a knife. This awesome design is topped only by the strength of the materials from which it's made. .260" blade thickness, .187" thick solid Titanium frames and .250" pivots and hardware make this a knife like no other. Beautiful form and function, unsurpassed reliability and 2000 years from now archeologists will be amazed by the hand tools we once crafted.
All Praetorian variants come with a D2, NP3 coated tempered-glass breaking pommel. We have extensively tested these tips and you find them utterly dependable and 100% functional. No gimmick. No variations of this breaker, in material or form, will be done by MKT as it is meant to be an emergency lifesaving feature and not for ornamental appeal. If testing wear hand and arm protection as overexertion will ABSOLUTELY result in cuts to the hand and arm.
