California Custom Knife Show Fall 2025 - The Prototype Show!

The California Custom Knife Show 2025 brought another incredible weekend for Ketuo USA and Rike Knife. Held October 25 and 26 at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, California, the event once again proved why CCKS remains one of the most collector-focused shows of the year. With an audience of enthusiasts, makers, and serious buyers, the energy around the Ketuo table was nonstop from start to finish.

Exclusive Prototypes and New Releases

CCKS marked an exclusive prototype showcase for Ketuo, featuring over twenty one-off and early-run models available for purchase. Collectors had the rare chance to handle and take home designs that represent the cutting edge of Ketuo’s development process.

Among the highlights were three new prototypes: the Raijin, Veritech, and Slashly, each carrying forward Ketuo’s design language of aggressive precision and futuristic styling. The Battloid, designed by Mr. Robot, continued to generate buzz following its recent debut, with several units selling during the show.

The excitement didn’t stop there. The event also featured the new G10 Griffin and Mini Griffin, both offering the same design DNA as their titanium counterparts but in a more accessible configuration. Fit and finish drew constant praise from attendees, with many noting the build quality rivals knives at twice the price.

Daily Giveaways and Show Highlights

To keep the energy high, Ketuo hosted a daily giveaway featuring the new full-sized G10 Griffin. Both days saw packed crowds around the table, with winners walking away thrilled to add the latest Ketuo release to their collections.

A Weekend of Enthusiasm and Connection

The response throughout the weekend was outstanding. Collectors and fellow makers alike were drawn to the combination of innovative design and precision craftsmanship that defines Ketuo’s work. Having Mr. Robot at the table added to the excitement, giving fans a chance to meet one of the creative minds behind the brand’s boldest designs.

CCKS 2025 reaffirmed the strength of the Ketuo community and the growing enthusiasm around the brand’s evolution. From new collectors discovering the lineup to long-time supporters returning to see what’s next, the weekend was a clear success from every angle.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, handled a knife, shared feedback, or picked up something new. The passion and support from this community continue to push us forward. See you at the next show.
