Overview
Enrique Pena Custom Knives are so precise and utterly perfect that the best, and maybe only, comparison to them would be the custom work of Sergey Rogovets. Anyone familiar with custom knives knows that this is about as high an honor as it gets because Sergey's work borders on clockwork precision. Enrique has been making knives since 2006 and began strictly with traditional-style folders. Now that he has transitioned into the tactical knife game quite nicely in our opinion, he's really beginning to take off. The precise fit, finish, blending of materials, appearance, and design are exactly what you look for in a custom handmade knife.
The Paramour is a dynamic utility folder born from the collaboration of Garcia Knives and Pena Knives. With wonderfully clean, somewhat angular lines and super smooth deployment, this masterpiece is just the right size for most end users. The just-under-three-inch flat ground blade strikes a nice balance between versatility and functionality. Designed for effortless everyday carry, the Paramour boasts a compact 3.75" closed length, with an array of inlays that really make it pop. Beyond its beauty lies innovation - various pivot inlays act as an overtravel arrestor for the frame lock, ensuring durability and stability in every use.
You might ask, what does X Series stand for? Well, it is a designation Enrique is giving to knives designed and marketed by him but built by a third-party company. They're built in a production environment while still maintaining the highest quality standards to bring you a more affordable knife. This X Series is not to be confused with a mid-tech or a custom piece. It is totally a production knife and a high-quality one at that. The Raptor Front Flippers are made by Reate and produced in limited quantities.
