Bastinelli RED
RED stands for Raptor Extremely Dangerous, and Bastinelli isn't kidding. Bastinelli Creations built this family around a spear point profile aggressive enough that Luc Besson put it on screen in Lucy, and the line has since grown from that original movie blade into a full spread of sizes and formats, all made in Italy. If the rest of the Bastinelli knives catalog whispers, the RED family says it out loud.
The RED Raptor L From the Film Lucy
The Raptor L is the flagship, a 10.5 inch overall knife swinging 5.5 inches of M390 spear point over a full extended tang that ends in a glass breaker pommel. Built by LionSteel with textured G-10 scales and a deep index groove, it carries in molded Kydex and handles like a knife designed for someone who trains. The dark stonewash and standard stonewash finishes both keep the flat ground blade honest, with jimping on the spine right where a thumb rides during controlled work.
R.E.D. V2 Compact Field Knives
The V2 brings the same attitude down to a four inch Bohler N690 blade at 8.63 inches overall, sized for belt carry that doesn't announce itself. Finger grooved micarta handles the standard and PVD versions, while the partially serrated model wears G-10 and adds tooth for webbing, rope, and strap work. Full tangs and lanyard holes throughout, because a working knife this size gets asked to do everything.
The R.E.D. Folder and Family Steel Choices
The folding R.E.D. compresses the profile into a 3.25 inch M390 blade over G-10 and titanium, running an IKBS bearing pivot, thumb stud deployment, and its own glass breaker, so the pocket version gives up nothing to its fixed siblings. Steel across the family stays premium and proven, M390 on the Raptor and folder with N690 on the V2, and our comparison of every major knife steel covers what each brings to the sharpening stone. Handle materials from textured G-10 to micarta get the full treatment in our knife handle materials guide. Pick your size. The attitude comes standard.
