I bought one out of curiosity and, while I love the design, the execution is disappointing. As Nick said, you don't get much for the price when compared to a brand like Civivi. I ended up replacing the washers with phosphor bronze, which just feels better. This is one of those knives I'd happily pay more for improved materials and perhaps a 10% increase in size - I think the specific aesthetic would work better if it were bumped up to PM2 size.

This was one of the first knives I purchased when I started to purchase knives with some thought and research. I have more expensive knives that have more detailed work on them and with better steel, but I have returned to this knife for office and garage work. The predictability in the hand, through its shape and blade thickness, lends well to uneven cutting textures. It is utilitarian in design, with no flourishes that fake some imaginary function. There is a smoothness to the steel that seems more than surface-level finish, so that it moves through cardboard easier than slicier blades. I hope the designer allows the design to carry forward into other materials in blade composition and scales. It is a design worth keeping into a variety of different looks.

I believe this knife would be absolutely amazing as a titanium framelock, with a micarta front scale and in 3v or elmax or cru-wear... they could easily charge 200 and it would sell out immediately. The design is great as you said, and it really deserves a quality treatment.

I just won the black/red SMKW exclusive version with D2 steel in a GAW. I know a lot of people these days are tired of seeing D2 on budget blades, but I find it to be a very good user steel. I'm old enough to remember when you didn't get even that grade on a $50 knife, so I'm happy with it.

Seems like the ergonomics would make this a good camp kitchen knife. There's a serious lack of folding knives where the blade comes down like this to allow for chopping without one's knuckles getting in the way. The quality of the materials is disappointing. I'd like to see more knife choices with camping food prep in mind. The SpydieChef is similarly shaped knife, but that's a serious price jump between these two. Give me something in the $80-120 range with decent steel, please.

It is 8CRMOV14. They did get the heat treat right. I have the Tuna which is different but with similar materials. 8CR14MOV. The heat treat is very good for what it is and it seems to dull slower than other 8CR blades I have, but you’re right, they ought to do at least a 9CR which has much better edge retention. I’m not as crazy about D2 which has chipping/sharpening and rust issues. I also like the Sandvik steels. Beseech and CJRB use 12C27 on a few models. I also like that one better than 8CR. It gets really sharp. Anyway I still like my Tuna and it still gets pocket time due to the blade shape. It also broke in and opens very quickly now, but yeah CRKT, please raise your game materials wise. Everybody else is.

I have steels that range from 3cr to s110v and s35vn and I honestly cannot see a huge difference between 8cr and say S30v. Depending on the material, both dull within cuts of each other in my real world experience. This is to be expected as different steels have different chemistry and preferred sharpening tactics, but even still I don’t see any real huge difference. I work at Fedex and we cut a lot of material when repairing boxes or opening something that may have shipped broken. I usually carry something in S30v from different brands and I just cannot see a huge difference. D2 has its own issues, as it needs watched regularly for rust spots (I have a Civivi wyvern that has rust in the groove despite my best efforts) so the gives and takes are always there. Just some food for thought. Good review

The blade is very similar to the Perpetua (also TJ Schwarz designed). The shape also reminds me a lot of the Burnley Sketch, which Burnley calls a K-tip (which according to the internet is a nickname for the Japanese Kiritsuke). There seems to be an increase of folders with this general blade shape, maybe K-tip should be added to the vernacular as blade style for folding knives.

I recently acquired a Kubey KB237 with nice Tanto compound grinds, D2 Chinese steel, sculpted G10 scales and ceramic ball bearings. It came perfectly centered, has good lockup, pretty good action and wow is it sharp. Not perfect by any means, but really, really nice for just a little over $34. Teflon washers, Cr13 steel, questionable fasteners and that price point is putting CRKT farther behind and their designers are having a hard time making their poor materials and not so great price points competitive in this market.

@@thymii Um, because "they" don't always put the welfare of their customers before profit? Because other "theys" continue to push cigarettes decades after their own research showed them to be deadly, or sell pesticides that are decimating the bee population? But to be fair, Teflon products (at least those made in the US) have had their nastiness levels reduced to probably a trace level by now, and bushings in a knife aren't going to be heated by cutting an avocado and so are unlikely to release anything unpleasant, but I'd rather stay away from it. If you're interested, you can check out the Wikipedia article. An extremely small portion of the article: "Sodium trifluoroacetate and the similar compound chlorodifluoroacetate can both be generated when PTFE undergoes thermolysis, as well as producing longer chain polyfluoro- and/or polychlorofluoro- (C3-C14) carboxylic acids which may be equally persistent. Some of these products have recently been linked with possible adverse health and environmental impacts and are being phased out of the US market." And "The studies concluded that there was an association between PFOA exposure and six health outcomes: kidney cancer, testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Overall, PTFE cookware is considered a minor exposure pathway to PFOA."

Im tempted to buy one, but 50+ for 8crmov steel in 2022...whooooo. this knife was designed to be camp knife, so i.e cooking/slicing tasks...why not go with 14c28n or even more premium like s30v; but then again I have to remember this is CRKT manufacturing the knife. Also something that really stood out to me was that little notch at the top of the handle adjacent to the thumb stud. It just screams to me the thumb stud was suppose to be seated in it when the knife is deployed. Also that would take the thumb stud out of the way of the cutting path on a knife designed FOR FOOD PREP! Advice...CRKT create a v2, fix these little, but important problems and you have REAL WINNER!

That said they probably know they can budget on washers etc to offset paying for designs? I don't think they see us EDC people as a big enough target to shoot for. And that's unfortunate as we do exactly as Nick stated we buy Civivi or WE or whatever China 🇨🇳 is competitive with. More quality USA 🇺🇸 made would be nice. We will pay for say an upgrade kit? S30v and bearings maybe Ti clip? 25$ add on? Something to pull sales in....
