Choosing a Null Knives folder
The Voodoo Doll is the compact choice in this group. Its 3.2-inch blade and 7.3-inch overall length make it smaller than the full-size Voodoo, while retaining its contoured handle design. The Raiden R2 measures 7.73 inches overall and has a 3.3-inch blade; it updates the original Raiden with a blade cutout for one-handed opening and revised pivot details. The Vandal is the largest of these models, with a 3.85-inch blade and 8.75-inch overall length. Its compound-ground tanto blade and larger frame distinguish it from the more compact folders.
Materials and construction
Specifications depend on the model and configuration. The Voodoo Doll uses a Vanax SuperClean blade with a hollow grind and a Grade 5 titanium handle. Its listed micarta and carbon-fiber scale options change the handle’s appearance and surface feel. The maker highlights Vanax’s corrosion resistance and edge retention for the Doll. The Raiden R2 pairs a MagnaCut blade, hardened to 63–64 HRC, with Grade 5 titanium handle and liner. Its updated frame includes internal weight-relief milling, while Aero and Type-S versions have different milling patterns. The Vandal combines a Vanax SuperClean blade with a Grade 5 titanium handle and removable scales; listed versions include micarta and carbon fiber. Its tri-stud deployment and caged ceramic ball bearings are specific to this model.
Brand background
Null Knives began in 2020 and is based in New York, where the company designs its knives. Its lineup centers on folding knives, with model-specific differences in size, blade steel, opening features and handle configuration. Comparing those details can help narrow the choice between a compact carry design, a revised everyday folder or a larger knife.
