Not being nit picky IMO I can’t stand the tip poking out like that either other wise awesome knife
Winkler.
Two questions. I have seem this knife advertised with 1.4416 steel. Is it the same as AUS 8? Are the washers around the pivot teflon or what?
I just got this knife a few weeks ago. Every person I’ve handed it to hit the disassembly switch. Every single person.
I want one now ! Lol . thank you for the video i was completely unaware of the capabilities of this knife great review agree with everything you mentioned. I only have one question , im very picky when it comes to blade play . Is there any blade play on this knife after any usage if so how much would you describe it . Thank you for your time . great videos !!
if you want advice on buying a cutting instrument. look into companies that make knives for the food and slaughter industry. knives like forshner and wustoff used by professionals who count on sharp easy to maintain knives. victorinox swiss army makes both brands .to the best of my knowledge spyderco crkt benchmade cold steel or Chris reeves don’t know jack shit about the cutting industry. they are all bent on hardness and edge retention that basically gives you an overpriced brittle knife that is a pain in the ass to sharpen. people who complain about victorinoxs soft steel don’t know shit about knives. a goof slicer is all about ease of sharpening in the field. not to mention you can fold a swiss blade 90 degrees and hammer it straight a hundred times before it will break . go see how many times you can bend s30v and vg10 . you will have half a knife blade I’m your hand
Is there not a model with a basic beer bottle opener?
Cheers
No offense but that knife is a piece of junk! I like how you understated it’s inability to even close safely. Ironically all the other knives you had on that table are good/great knives for the money.
Very Nice!
The zero tolerance 350 is waaay better
Cool concept but you can clean a fall through knife just as easy, no need to take it apart. If you can’t find 10 minutes to take a normal folder apart then maybe a fixed blade is for you.
Ken Onion have some great designs. I have a foresight, but rarely carry it as it is so heavy in the pocket.
What is the name of it
For fast sharpening and an extremely keen edge – AUS8 should not be underestimated as a great performance steel. At first when I saw CKRT in your lineup I laughed. Then I remembered JUST how good CKRT performance models in the past have been. Their old collaborations with custom makers were on point. Full respect for telling it how you see it. You don’t need to go buy a Strider to get a hard use knife.
I am actually with you on this one. Having a knife that is easy to dissessemble in the field is really important. Sand and mud gets everywhere and a tool that cannot be taken apart to be cleaned thoroughly is a tool that is about to let you down.
True, most knives you can take apart BUT only if you have the right kit on you (is the right hex adaptors etc).
In contrast, anyone can strip this in a trice.
In the field 😂 shut up POG
nice!!!….if only they would make this in Ferrari red, or neon green, or neon pink for us girly girls that would be so awesome…
He said top "five" and talked about one the while fucking time
Nice knife. Bang for the buck not there for me. For $40-50 more Para Military 2 with S30V steel.
would not take a liner lock for tactical situation
Should be an Air Force standard issue since they don’t issue firearms.
Gerber 06 series, whether manual or Auto, is the best for deployments. The s30v steel is beast and it has no blade play whatsoever
At it’s price point it should have a better steel than Aus-8 but I do love the design.
Field strip engineering.
is it sharp enough out of the box to shave arm hair?
zt350 is also good
My EDC is a Browing Black Label Checkmate 143BL Tactical knife.
I like this series, but the tanto is better in my opinion, i like having a combo edge on a work knife.
not a good knife
I don’t know about you.. But I ain’t taking or trusting a crkt with my life on deployment…especially a folder. I’d damn sure edc it though!
Simply way overpriced to be considered.
i like this knife.
I have broken enough crkt knives to no longer buy them, I have snapped their folders and their fixed blades, never had issues with buck, gerber, cold steel, kabar, and spyderco
Ck out the Few Hara Raikiou from CKRT WICKED WHARCLIFF BLADE THE PREDATORS EDC
Not my cup of tea, but kinda cool because it looks like the type of folding knife Captain America would carry. Seriously, picture it
Aus 8 verses S30v? For nearly the same price? No way. How hard is it to pour water over a PM2 and clean it out? I do it regularly without having to take it completely apart. Anyway, nice video, but I’ll stick with the PM2 or others.
Amazon has the black edc lighter version for 48 bucks its a stonewash blade black handle lighter to carry and 48 is reasonable stating all that this knife is a homerun its awesome if u collect knives u know how much of a pain it is to use torx 6 8 10 screwdrivers .
Military just because a star logo? Captain america knife?
The new gerber is the best
AWESOME!!! I´VE GOT A COLLECTION TOO… LOL – MATEUS – SÃO PAULO
please don’t be takin in by this peace of shit with words like aircraft grade, tactica,l field strip, deloyment knife etc. number one , when the hell has it ever been important to take apart a folder . its a gimmick to sell shit grade aus8 cheap ass steal to morons. if at anytime that switch on the blade end of the knife gets tripped it falls apart. the dam thing is like 80 bucks. I’ve owned folders my whole life. and in my experience there is the superior quality of victorinox and the other category is filled with overpriced buzz word knives boasting about super steels and quality that just isn’t there for the money . if you are a soldier get a victorinox soldier standard issue and look into how it became the official knife of the swiss and german armed forces it won out over 7 knife manufacturers from all over the world including the usa. victorinox was around before the owners of crkt’s parents were born
Are you allowed to carry a pocket knife on base I have done research and haven’t seen anything I want to carry a fixed blade
Good idea about the pivot release slide being on the other side and bringing that back spacer up a little further. On my knife I had to re profile the blade a bit because it was making contact with the back spacers when closed. They could easily correct this with the position of the stop pin but that would leave the blade sitting a little higher in the closed position requiring even a little more correction of the back spacers to cover the exposed blade tip. Great video, I enjoyed it and thanks for your service protecting our freedom. God bless
If I had to go to hell and back and it had to be a folder it would be the Adamas.
Aus 8 shit fuckoff price
its like calling a 38 smith and wesson an assault rifle. in the world of killing on a battle field this thing is a novelty toy . its a camp knife packaged as some tactical weapon protecting the homefront to nerds playing call of duty in thier moms basement. its so corny I can barely put it into words . taking phases from the military gun world like field strip and tactical feel tank track jimping bayonet mount style flipper. a bunch of demons in suits that work for the marketing department of CRKT bounced ideas off of eachother and studied the average consumer in their targeted market. our society is being steadily pushed to worship the military. if I walk up to man and meet him whether he’s a soldier or janitor, i look into his merits as a man before i congratulate him.. I have many friends in the military that are good men .but I know as many dirtbag service men aswell . its just think its strange to me how grown ass men fall to their knees when meeting someone in the military without even knowing if their a rapist or child molester. like without them we would all be defenseless squabs and that their exsistance is the only thing protecting us from imminent death. I’m a man god dam it ! and ill be dammed if I need another man fighting for my family. if I’m not enough protection for my household my woman made a bad choice selecting me to help raise her children. a lot of ex soldiers recognise the fight on terror media bullshit for what it is. its trauma based mind control selling parents on the idea that feeding their kids into a bank controlled meat grinder is a great honor to be proud of. its blind worship. America good, the rest of the world shit. so to keep a long story short , I’m not sold on this overpriced gimmicky knife marketed to call of duty nerds .
I paid $80 (on sale) for my benchmade griptillian with 154cm steel. This knife cost more. The benchmade is made in the USA with a great steel. The crkt is made overseas with so/so steel.
this is a little silly you need a stronger knife than a liner lock😐 the steel is only aus8 and there s to many components that can potentially fail
Folding knife for tactical use is just DUMB.
not worth $77
