Keanu’s Titan series impressed me with its lightweight, snappy performance. Now, the BL04 line elevates the platform with premium materials: a 2.96-inch 154CM steel blade, a smooth ceramic ball bearing pivot, and a reliable liner lock. I’ve been carrying all four variants—the BL04A, BL04B, BL04C, and BL04D—and they share an outstanding platform. At just 67 grams and a closed length of 3.84 inches, it’s a true lightweight EDC. The differences in blade finish and handle material (carbon fiber, G10, and layered combinations) give each version a distinct character.
The Shared Foundation: Premium Materials, Ultra-Light Carry
Every BL04 Titan shares Keanu’s refined design. The 2.96-inch 154CM steel blade is a proven performer—excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy to sharpen. The 3mm blade thickness balances slicing efficiency with durability. The ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth, snappy deployment, and the liner lock is secure and easy to disengage. The titanium clip is lightweight and strong. At just 67 grams, it’s a featherweight EDC that doesn’t sacrifice capability. The handle materials and blade finishes are where you make it your own.
BL04A (Stonewash + Satin / Carbon Fiber): The Pure Minimalist
The BL04A is the most straightforward of the group. It features a classic stonewash + satin blade finish—forgiving and traditional—paired with a handle of pure carbon fiber. The carbon fiber is lightweight, stiff, and has a subtle woven pattern. This is the version for the purist who wants a clean, no-fuss EDC with premium materials. It’s understated, professional, and ready for anything.
BL04B (Stonewash + Satin / Carbon Fiber & G10 Interlayer): The Layered Modernist
The BL04B introduces a sophisticated carbon fiber and G10 interlayer handle. The combination of materials creates a unique layered look—black carbon fiber with blue G10 accents peeking through. It pairs with the same stonewash + satin blade. This version feels modern and architectural. If you appreciate material contrasts and a more visually interesting handle, the BL04B is a fantastic choice.
BL04C (Black Stonewash / Carbon Fiber & G10 Interlayer): The Stealth Layered
The BL04C takes the layered handle concept—carbon fiber and G10 interlayer—and pairs it with a rugged black stonewash blade finish. The black blade is non-reflective, hides wear, and adds corrosion resistance. The handle’s red accents peek through the black carbon fiber. This combination feels tactical and refined at the same time. If you want a knife that’s both stealthy and visually interesting, the BL04C is your pick.
BL04D (Stonewash + Satin / Carbon Fiber & G10 Interlayer): The Red-Accented Classic
The BL04D is similar to the BL04B but with a different accent color. It features the same carbon fiber and G10 interlayer handle, this time with red accents, paired with the classic stonewash + satin blade. The red adds a subtle pop of color without being loud. This version is for those who want a touch of personality without sacrificing the traditional blade finish. It’s balanced, modern, and versatile.
Which BL04 Titan Complements Your Style?
All four share Keanu’s excellent lightweight design and the premium 154CM steel. The BL04A is the pure minimalist. The BL04B is a layered modernist with blue accents. The BL04C offers a stealthy black stonewash blade with red-accented layers. And the BL04D provides a classic blade finish with subtle red accents. Whichever you choose, you’re getting a knife that’s featherlight, snappy, and built with premium materials—a true EDC upgrade.
