Trango Piranha Knife

Product Info for Trango Piranha Knife

Everyone needs a little knife and a way to carry it. The diminutive Piranha clips to a key ring or a carabiner so you can easily take it where you need to go. The blade is machined from surgical quality 440-C stainless with a serrated blade"just what you need to peel duct tape off your shoes or dig a splinter out of the palm of your hand. The locking blade can be opened and closed with one hand, but it's absolutely impossible to open when clipped to a normal carabiner, but be careful, because you can wiggle the blade tip past the low profile of some ultra-light carabiners. Bottle opener included.

Features of Trango Piranha Knife:

Blade Length: 26mm (1.0")
Closed Length: 6 cm (2.4")

Helpful Negative Review

marginally useful

by nc, from NM, United States Updated on November 14, 2022

True, it's a small knife, and can't open accidentally while on a carabiner. Can hardly open when off the carabiner as well - that same feature that makes it "safe" on a biner makes it really hard to hold while opening and really easy to drop. Takes two hands to open it, at least the one I got is super stiff. For me, a slightly larger knife that you can actually hold on to is wo...

Compact Cutter

by Canyon Slayer, Verified Owner from CO, United States Updated on April 1, 2024

I use this knife for cutting webbing in canyons. It's fine if you don't use it frequently, which I don't. If you plan on doing more cutting, you may want to go for one of the other options. If you want super compact, light, and something you will barely notice on your harness...this is it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

short blade

Best Used for:

cutting webbing

Light and small

by Bryan, Updated on October 4, 2021

I was wondering why this knife made of SS440-C, and claim to be surgical grade. Below is what I find (abstract from various site). 1. maximum hardness or abrasion resistance 2. The chromium gives the metal its scratch resistance and corrosion resistance. The nickel provides a smooth and polished finish. The molybdenum gives greater hardness and helps maintain a cutting edge. 3....

It is truley a "micro knife".

by Michael P., from CO, United States Updated on June 9, 2017

Nice piece of hardware. Sharp and well made. Too small however. When it delivered I did notice that the packaging identified it as a "micro knife". My intent was to add to my canyoneering gear after the experience of having my shirt bind up in my rappel device - which I was able to remove by hand and figured having a blade to do the work if needed was prudent. When fully open o...

Cute and sharp

by Amanda M., Verified Owner from TX, United States Updated on April 6, 2017

Clever design, adorably tiny but unnecessarily too small. It's sturdy and lightweight but gets lost amongst other gear on my harness. The blade is super sharp, the detent snaps the blade in securely. Again though, unnecessarily small. Should have been half the price.

Small, but functional knife.

by Midwest Mike, from IL, United States Updated on April 6, 2015

I received this knife with a decent edge, and a good fit and finish. It's small, size wise, but I'm relegating it to a backpack top pocket clip or a carabiner on my climbing harness.

Would recommend: Yes
