Columbia River Knife & Tool
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2018 4:20 pm
CRKT continues to bring out a wide array of well designed and often quite unique knives. Prices are 'moderate' and workmanship is always excellent so i find many of these knives hard to resist even though i do not need another knife.
Here are a few i particularly like.
The 5" Hissatsu, 4" Hissatsu-2 Williams, and the 4 3/4" Fire Spark are all spring loaded. The Fire Spark is a rocket. All are liner locks with a tab at upper edge of handle that needs to be pulled back to release the liner lock. This prevents accidental closure. I am very partial to the Fire Spark. If you are looking for a big one hand opening knife, i recommend this one.
The other 3 are the Swindle designed by Ken Onion, a 4 1/4" liner lock, manual flipper. super sleek knife, and 2 Ken Steigerwalt designed slip joints, both 3", one called "Art Deco" and the other the "Quill" . Both are most pleasing to the eye as well as being well made, well finished and sharp.
