At DNK Knives, we believe a great knife should feel like an extension of your hand — and the Essenza is a perfect example of that philosophy brought to life.

Based on Riccardo Gobbato’s (aka Raven Knives Design) iconic CHNOPS model, the Essenza captures the essence of simplicity and performance. Its sleek, precision-machined aluminum handle is designed to comfortably fit all hand sizes while delivering clean, striking visual style. Inside the anodized handle, a recessed stainless steel liner supports the robust LinerLock mechanism, offering both strength and reliability you can count on with every use.

Cutting Edge Folding Knife

On the cutting edge, the Essenza features a blade crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s N690Co stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. Deployment is smooth and fast thanks to the fully accessible Trademark Round Hole, allowing easy, one-handed opening whether you’re left or right-handed.

The satin-finished, flat-ground blade isn’t just functional — it’s beautiful. A radiused spine adds a subtle touch of elegance and extra comfort for prolonged cutting tasks, blending form and function seamlessly.

For those who prefer their carry to be as discreet as it is accessible, the Essenza includes a deep-pocket clip that’s reversible for left or right-side, tip-up carry. It’s ready to ride wherever your adventures take you — stylish, dependable, and always within easy reach.

If you’re looking for a folding knife that pairs sophisticated design with rugged everyday performance, the Essenza deserves a spot in your pocket.
