In ancient Egypt, the war god Montu is usually depicted with a falcon head and a solar disk above it. That suggests speed, power, and brilliance to us. Allen Elishewitz is an acclaimed young Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker who offers a surprising range of custom knives, many with Egyptian-themed names. The Elishewitz Montu has turned out to be everything we could imagine in a personal folder. We set out to translate the original Elishewitz custom into a slightly smaller, personal-size folder for carry convenience, and along the way, incorporated the patented features that have made CRKT folders so popular, including OutBurst assisted opening and the LAWKS® safety. The Montu has a 3.25" blade and is 4.25" long when folded, dimensions that knife users tell us are "just about right" for a personal carry. Weighing 4.9 ounces, it also has just the right heft. The Montu frame uses a stainless steel InterFrame build with one locking liner. Black textured Zytel® scales are inlaid with the latest CPL composite, featuring blue/gray swirls. Each inlay has a unique pattern. The blade is another one of those unique shapes that Allen is noted for. We call it an Elishewitz drop/spear point, swedged and recurved. The blade is AUS 8 premium stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. This knife has the Combined Razor-Sharp grind. The Montu comes standard with our patented OutBurst assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30°. The Montu's patented LAWKS® safety effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when actuated. Just slide the lever forward to lock, and slide it back to enable easy one-hand closing. As a bonus, you get a gold Elishewitz logo on the blade and a custom removable stainless steel pocket/gear clip. Plus, we have value-priced the Montu to further add to its brilliance. Dimensions
