Raya is a folding knife built around a single idea: strip the handle down until nothing shows but the shell. MIH machines the body from Grade 5 titanium on a CNC mill, hides the hardware inside it, and leaves zero visible screws on the outside.
It looks like one smooth piece.
Backers have already pushed the campaign to 3,439% of its goal, with $52,677 pledged from 305 backers at the last check. A single M390 knife starts at the $139 launch tier, every reward estimates delivery in March 2027, and the campaign closes December 5.

March 2027 is a long wait, and a shipping M390 folder sits in a different drawer entirely.
A Ram-Lok folder ships from Amazon now with an M390 drop point, a titanium handle, and a crossbar lock, and its 5% coupon trims the $109.99 price to $104.49.

A liner lock inside a smooth shell
A jimped rear flipper opens the blade with one hand, and a liner lock holds it open once it’s out. A ceramic detent keeps the blade seated when it’s closed, so the flipper stays put in a pocket. The pivot and the rest of the hardware sit under the shell, and that hidden layout keeps the handle looking like one clean piece from every side.
No screw heads interrupt it. That clean outside leaves nothing to snag, loosen, or catch a pocket seam on the way out of a pocket.
Two blade steels and three finishes
The standard blade is an M390 drop point, and a Damascus steel blade swaps into the same handle for buyers who want the pattern in the steel. The maker’s tier list puts retail at $209 for the M390 knife and $219 with the Damascus blade.
Handles come sandblasted, and the Blue Ice-Flower finish turns the same titanium blue at the top of the range.
A stonewashed upgrade on the M390 knife costs a single extra dollar at pledge time. The steel choice changes the price, not the shell.
Carry runs through the keyring hole
The handle carries an integrated keyring hole, and MIH builds the knife pendant-ready as well. Closed, it drops into a jacket pocket or hangs from a keyring inside a bag, and the campaign photography shows both carries in regular rotation.
Shipping doesn’t narrow the map either, since every reward ships free anywhere in the world.
It carries like a key, not a tool roll.

Where to buy: Back it on Kickstarter
Buy the M390 Raya at $139 if the clean shell and hidden hardware are what you want in a daily folder. The launch tier ends November 17. After that date the same knife costs more, and delivery still lands in March 2027.
