While CRKT® has achieved an enviable reputation for quality with manufacturing partners in Taiwan, U.S. federal law requires that assisted opening knives be made in the U.S.A. When they decided to build the Wild Weasel, it was necessary that they find a domestic manufacturer with a new, state-of-the-art plant that could match the manufacturing quality they get in Taiwan. You be the judge. If you already own and use CRKT knives, buy a Wild Weasel and compare.

CRKT's Tailwind™ speed assist technology (patent pending) is ingeniously simple, strong and lightweight. Its over-center cam/spring design holds the folder securely closed. When either of the dual thumb studs is rotated outward 30 degrees, the Tailwind spring instantly rotates the blade to full open and locked position. Teflon® bushings at the blade pivot help make the action smooth and very fast.

The 3-1/4" hollow ground modified drop point blade is premium 154CM stainless steel at 58-60 Rc. with a non-reflective light bead blast finish. The InterFrame handle consists of two 410 stainless steel liners, one locking, and scales of gray hard anodized 6061 aluminum with black Santoprene inserts inlaid at strategic points on both sides of the knife. To aid grip, the handle has deep finger choils and a pronounced pommel.

Measures 4-3/8" closed and weighs 4.0 oz. Includes a removable, reversible pocket/gear clip of 410 stainless steel with light bead blast finish. Made in the U. S. A. 		Look through the CRKT catalog, and you will see page after page of successful hunting and fishing knife designs by Knifemakers’ Guild member and Alaskan guide Russ Kommer, whose custom knife shop is now in Fargo, North Dakota. But Russ blew us away with his prototype for the Full Throttle™, which is definitely a rock-solid personal frame-lock folder that is made even slicker by the addition of our patented* OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism. It is a classy everyday carry with a flat profile that fills the hand and has perfect balance.

His design uses a hefty open build. The frames are 420J2 stainless steel in a lightly textured 25-micron-thick blue/black polyurethane hard enamel finish. Often used for surveillance equipment, tripods and computer parts, this thin, hard coating gives superior protection from corrosion, abrasion, and impact. A pronounced finger choil enhances grip.

Gold-plated fasteners, blade stop pin, and dual checkered thumb studs add a distinctive custom touch. We have also replicated Russ’s back spacer in gold-anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, complete with CNC-machined file work.

The premium AUS 8 stainless steel blade in a high satin finish features a high-hollow grind. Both Razor-Sharp and our exclusive Combination Razor-Sharp and Veff™ Serrated edges are available. Designed by knifemaker Tom Veff, these unique scalloped and angled serrations cut through rope and cord smoothly without snagging.

Both blade styles are available in conventional non-assisted opening models, or with our patented* OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. All have bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action.

A high-mounted custom removable mirror-finish stainless steel clothing/gear clip gives this rugged all-metal work knife great versatility for carry in pockets or on belts and gear.

As usual, we have priced Russ’s design very competitively to assure that it is an excellent value, and as we do with all our knives, backed it with the CRKT lifetime limited warranty. It’s a knife designed to perform, whether at idle, cruising speed, or Full Throttle. 		Canadian knifemaker Brian Tighe is a true Renaissance Man, with an array of professional skills including tool and die making, metallurgy, engraving and photography. In his St. Catharines, Ontario, workshop, he produces a wide array of custom folders, all with those signature touches that immediately make them stand out as Brian Tighe knives.

We have carefully translated Brian’s popular My Tighe custom frame-lock folder into an affordable production line, with four models in bead-blast finish and two in black. At first glance, the knife seems like a design exercise until you grasp it and understand that the concave cut scales are craftily shaped to enhance grip, aggressive with contours in just the right places.

Brian’s blade design is unique too, with its asymmetrical spine facets, high-hollow grind and deep belly with recurve. We use 1.4116 stainless steel in a high satin finish and offer both Razor-Sharp and our exclusive Combination Razor-Sharp and Veff™ Serrated edges. Designed by knifemaker Tom Veff, these unique scalloped and angled serrations cut through rope and cord smoothly without snagging. On our “K” models, the blade is coated with black non-reflective titanium nitride for maximum corrosion resistance.

The frame-lock folder has an open build with heavy-duty 420J2 stainless steel frames and a 6061 T6 aluminum back spacer. Frames are bead-blast on the bright models, and black EDP plated on the “K” models. The injection-molded black Zytel® scales have a carbon fibre texture. Torx® fasteners are used throughout.

Each model is available in conventional non-assisted opening models, or with our patented* OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. All have bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for fast action.

All models feature a removable black Teflon-plated pocket/gear clip.

It’s hard to ignore any Brian Tighe design, especially these highly personal work knives. Carry one and you will certainly start a conversation among knife fanciers everywhere. The knife industry was so impressed at the Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia, it was named the 2006 Imported Knife of the Year 		Tiger-Striped Blade, Black G10 Scales,Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge,
OutBurst Assisted Opening 		We were delighted when internationally known Japanese knifemaker and American Knifemakers’ Guild member Koji Hara agreed to design a personal knife for CRKT. Koji is noted for his custom folders in exotic materials, and is especially known for his carving of the handle material into a classic terraced landscape that he calls his “Air-Step” design. Our goal was to apply Koji’s remarkable design sense to a small personal folder which could incorporate our patented OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism.

Logically, we called this first CRKT Koji Hara series Ichi™, Japanese for “one.”

For rigidity and strength, we used our InterFrame open build, with two 420J2 stainless steel liners. In a first for CRKT, we created layered injection-molded scales of Kraton® and Zytel®, the latter with Koji’s terraced Air-Step design. The result is a small knife that gives good grip, fits the hand nicely, and is truly functional for a variety of work tasks.

The handle tapers neatly into a modified drop point pen blade with a high- hollow grind made of high-carbon stainless steel. An ambidextrous thumb disk allows easy one-hand opening.

The Ichi is available in three color schemes: The bright version has a bead-blast blade, frame, and clip with gray Zytel scale inserts and black fasteners. The black-out version features a black titanium nitride blade coating, black Zytel inserts, black hardware and black Teflon®-plated clip. The red and black version features the same black blade, insert and clip treatment as the black-out version with a subtle red scale tone. If desired, the stainless steel clips are easily removed.

Each model is available in conventional non-assisted opening models, or with our patented* OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. All have bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action.

Most of us can’t carry a Koji Hara custom collectible daily, but the Ichi is a friendly and affordable reminder of one of Japan’s premier custom knifemakers.

OutBurst Assisted Opening 		High Satin Blade, Blue Metallic Scales, Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge,
OutBurst Assisted Opening 		Custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Kit Carson is widely known for his M16® design, which we offer in many CRKT production models. But since 1990, Kit’s most consistent selling custom model has been his classic M4™. In his usual unassuming manner, Kit says, “I guess you’d say it’s my flagship custom. It’s simple, with form following function. No tricks that look slick but aren’t worth a flip in your hand. I’ve made many variations on it, from exotic collectibles to working tacticals, in maybe 20 versions. But I still get more and more calls to make the M4.”

So here is the production CRKT M4 that you can afford to carry every day, anywhere. And while we were engineering it, we decided to add some more value by offering our patented(1) OutBurst™ assisted opening as an option, and our patented(2) and exclusive AutoLAWKS™ safety which automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked, creating a virtual fixed blade instantly for the ultimate in safety.

Traditionalists can buy the M4 as a conventional non-assisted opener, while the more progressive can choose our patented OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. Both styles have dual thumb studs for ambidextrous one-hand opening and bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action.

The blade is a high-hollow-grind drop point of premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. Both Razor-Sharp and our exclusive patented(3) Combined Razor-Sharp and Veff™ Serrated edges are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly.

Our heavy-duty InterFrame build is true to Kit’s design, with dual stainless steel liners, one locking, and a 6061 T6 anodized aluminum back spacer. Brushed stainless steel bolsters are inset with textured black Zytel® scales.

Finally a high-mounted pocket/gear clip allows low in-pocket carry.

So here you have a friendly work knife that fits the hand

So here you have a friendly work knife that fits the hand naturally for all kinds of cutting and carving tasks. Like Kit, it’s a bit unassuming, but it’s a knife you’ll come back to year after year 		Award-winning custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Ed Van Hoy has designed a number of hot sellers for CRKT, but this one is On Fire. No really, that’s its name, On Fire™, and it has all the right equipment to be one of our most popular personal knives.

This time Ed’s torrid notion is a frame-lock folder that is not only a shapely form in stainless steel and aluminum, but incorporates our advanced CRKT technology.

For example, our patented(1) OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism instantly springs the blade fully open after you have used the knurled thumb stud to open the blade approximately 30 degrees. Action is super slick, thanks to bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot. Conventional non-assisted models are also available for those who prefer them or to meet jurisdictional requirements.

Also neatly incorporated at the pivot is the patented(2) LAWKS® safety, which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when actuated— and that makes the On Fire not only a fast folder, but a very safe one.

The On Fire’s 2.375” drop point blade is premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a contemporary bead-blast finish. It is available in both Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges. A swedged top grind and four lightening holes add to its appeal.

Ed’s open build is an unusual combination of a 420J2 stainless steel frame-lock with a 6061 T6 black anodized aluminum side plate, both liberally slotted and drilled to save weight.

Finally, a removable custom bead-blast stainless steel pocket/gear clip gives all the carry options imaginable, in pocket, on belt, or in bags and briefcases.

Maybe most important, this is a knife that is easy on the eye. Every curve is in the right place; every motion fluid like those of a good dancer.

Ed Van Hoy continues to light our fire. 		Yes, yes, we know. Those of you who love to drool over Allen Elishewitz’s web site of exquisite custom knives have pointed out that our production CRKT Pharaoh™ is very different from Allen’s custom Pharaoh. Sorry for any confusion, but this is a unique design that incorporates many of Allen’s themes, and we felt it was so special it deserved to be called “king.” You will look very hard to find a production knife in this price class that is anything like the Pharaoh, so it does stand a bit larger than life.

First there is the unique blade grind, reminiscent of the traditional “long clip blade” of a century ago, with Allen’s own innovations. The tip is designed for penetration, with a swedged top edge. But the center of the blade is recurved, with a high hollow grind, making it ideal for feeding material to the cutting edge— wood, cord, vegetation. The blade is AUS 8 premium stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds are available.

The frame is about the strongest we can imagine, with dual stainless steel liners, brushed stainless steel bolsters, textured injection-molded Zytel® scales, and a solid Zytel back spacer at the spine.

Pat Crawford, who operates Crawford Knives in West Memphis, Arkansas, with his son Wes, is a mellow and soft-spoken custom knifemaker. But there is nothing mellow about his custom Triumph™ Folder which Pat calls, “a fast cutting machine for professionals.”

He says, “I was impressed by the strength and slashing ability of a reverse-curve Tanto blade, so that was where I started designing the Triumph. It has a different look, not as art, but as an entirely functional shape.”

Like Pat’s customs, our production Triumph Folder is a large and formidable tactical knife designed for grip, with double finger choils, thumb friction grooves and deeply grooved G10 scales. The 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, are a hefty 0.1” thick.

The beefy 0.14” thick blade is a dual-grind Tanto with a recurve to aid cutting and a false top edge grind for penetrating power. Blade steel is premium AUS 8 stainless steel. Both Razor-Sharp as well as Combined Razor-Sharp and our exclusive patented(1) Veff™ Serrated edges are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly.

The Triumph Folder is available with our patented(2) OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees.

To maximize safety, we built in our exclusive patented(3) AutoLAWKS™ safety that automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked, creating a virtual fixed blade instantly.

Two color schemes are available. The “K” series has a matte black EDP coated blade with special black and green G10 scales. The “TS” series features a camo tiger-striped non-reflective blade with black G10 scales. Diagonal CNC-machined grooves in the G10 give excellent grip in wet and muddy conditions.

The Triumph is fully ambidextrous, with dual thumb studs that allow fast either-hand opening.

The two-position black Teflon®-plated stainless clip is removable and allows left or right tip-down carry.
