CRKT knives have been in my EDC for over 12 years. Early on I had a couple of issues with two of their knives and contacted them. They were very responsive and I was completely satisfied with the results (which came at no extra cost to me). They have a design somewhere in their lineup that will appeal to just about anyone looking for a knife. Trust is worth something, and they have mine.

@ZenSalamander 3 ай бұрын

If the CRKT Ritual speaks to you, I would strongly recommend going for the full sized version instead of the mini. The ergos on the full size are amazing and it makes for a very fun experience. It's more of a "cool factor" knife than a carry knife, so you really want to get the most out of the experience of handling it. Even though it is an assisted opener, it's fun to play with and its hard to leave it alone and not constantly mess around with it. Other than the negatives mentioned in the video, also be aware that some of them may have some lock stick before they break in. I have 2 of them (the original blue/white and the blacked out version) both put a smile on my face every time I look at them or handle them.

I haven't bought a CRKT or KERSHAW in about 5 years ,in 2023 i got over 30 new knives. But one thing i wil say about both companies is that they have amazing customer service in my opinion. Anytime i need anything for a knife they will send it to me for free and not even charge me shipping. Anything from springs and torsion bars to clips to hardware to washers and bearings and even kydex sheaths for their fixed blades. No questions asked. Just tell them what you need and within 2 weeks or less everything shows up in your mailbox. I personally love that!

My only assisted flipper is a Kershaw Leek with black aluminum scales and stonewashed 14C28N. I only got it because it was reduced to 60 €, down from 120. And there is actually nothing wrong with it at all! I was prepared to do some minor fixing, but no no, it's all good. I like how you don't have to pay attention at all while flipping it open, you can even slightly push the flipper tab with your thumb and it just pops open as if you just pressed a button. Very nice to operate onehanded as well, compared to a so called automatic, where the spring is under constant pressure.

The Obverse is a step in the right direction, but not for anything near $275! I can think of dozens of knives under $200 that are just as nice or better. And if you really need American made, get a Spyderco PM2 in S110V for still less than this thing. I’m sorry, but we really need to stop paying stupid prices for some of these knives or we’ll just keep encouraging higher prices. If the design really speaks to you, great! That’s a different story. Buy it. But to me this is just a good-looking $200 knife. (Also, M390 has gotten a lot cheaper, so that’s no excuse for the price. I just bought a decent titanium frame lock in M390 for $100.)

I bought the Ritual, full size, 13 months ago, because I had never seen another pocket knife like it. It's a bit too big for EDC, blade is 4.4 inches and total length is a scooch under 10, but it's a bad ass knife, and I'm happy it's in my collection. Also, could never use it for self defense, no matter the circumstance, a jury would take one look at it, and find me guilty just on general purposes.

I agree with what you're saying about CRKT, it's starting to look like someone is paying attention to what is going on in the community. They have been producing crap for so long that it's going to take a minute to get away from that stigma. The last knife I bought from CRKT was like 3 years ago, the Fossil, heavy heavy knife which originally had a crap pocket clip that wouldn't hold its shape. Thanks for the video Jerad. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Bought a Hissatsu folder in 2017 for protection and I still carry it. CRKT seems to be a good brand for people who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for a decent knife. I think sometimes people get so caught up in brand names and steel types they forget that even a prison shank made from wood can take you out.

I went to the shop, to pick up a Spyderco Manix, but they weren't in stock. I ended up fidgeting with a CRKT Definitive, or LCBK, and the action was impressive. I got my Spyderco, but I think the CRKT would make a nice EDC; light, fidgety, probably a good office knife.

I have 2 CRKT Inaras, an Overland thats is beat up to hell and was my first knife I gained confidence in resharpening, and finally a hissatsu.

My opinion of CRKT, is that one knows what they are getting when they purchase one of their knives. My M16-14Z has been a regular carry for the last 15 plus years, and it is an absolute Workhorse of a blade, albeit a bitch to keep sharp. Although, even fairly dull, I once sawed through a hawser line in order to keep a bank of welders from being dragged into the water. That Obverse sure is a beauty. Reminds me of a mermaid.

All of the New Folders are Liner-Lock Folders? CRKT needs a Modern Fidgety Lock Type... Liner-Lock and Frame-Lock Folders, to me, are not desirable anymore. Why? There are so many awesome Folder Lock Types that you can open and close easily with one hand, without putting your fingers in the path of the blade when closing the folder. These Lock Types, to me, are outdated... Great discussion and presentation. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

The Obverse's thin blade and deep hollow grind make the fact that its choil is at the same level as the edge from the factory a problem. If you intend to use the knife (as opposed to collect/trade/sell it). The thinness at the edge will cause that edge to creep up faster than normal and pretty soon that choil will be sticking out like a sore thumb.

I know CRKT are typically Chinesium garbage, but I think it's worth mentioning that I carried one of their M16 14ZER knifes as a full time, paid Operations employee at a few different fire departments since 2018 when I bought it. It's been with me through working structure fires, and through countless critical EMS calls in both the EMT-Basic and Paramedic roles. I've used it to cut seat belts and the window punch to break windows to rescue kids trapped in a vehicle in the middle of the Texan summer. I never sharpened it, never oiled or cleaned it outside of cleaning various bodily fluids off it, and it never failed me. The only places it rusted were the metal liners underneath the scales and a few small rust spots on the base of the blade. I recently reprofiled the blade into a drop point because I hate tantos, and retired it to being a permanent bunker gear knife.

Great review format. Good coverage. I had a question about the last knife. That loud click when it shuts; does the blade dull itself in the handle as it snaps shut? What part of the blade is making contact with the handle? I’d hope it’s part of the unsharpened base of the blade, but that’s a loud click and I’d worry that it’s the blade towards the tip being bashed into the handle. Not a complaint, just a question.

The last knife is made in Italy. CRKT has had LionSteel produce some special editions and does a good job.

@mikeelek9713 Yeah I had 2 Limited Edition Squids from Crkt that were Italy made (by Lionsteel) and they were done pretty well. I really like the last knife shown, but would be much happier with a $200 price point than $275 but it's not outrageous compared to other ones I've seen. Its actually usually the D2 folders or 1.4116 steel folders that they want $80-$100 for that I will never justify spending on.

Will they ever make a durable T6 screw?

Ive recently gotten into blades HARD, but my entire life I’ve always loved assisted folders Ive had a few whatever cheap gas station folders A couple assisted A couple manual I always HATED thumb tabs, but thats because i never knew how to use them correctly An old schrade ive had for the better part of a decade I’ve just realized how quickly and smoothly i can operate the action now!… 😂 took all this time but im even middle finger flicking it better than the flipper tab does it I also picked up a manual civivi with a FLAWLESS action thats totally made me agree that assisted seems pretty obsolete at this point BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, there are some pros i find with the assisted vs manual ie; unlocking and dropping the blade is safer for liner/frame locks since the spring tension prevents the blade from coming all the way down until you push it Or just their straight consistency -sure modern manual actions are smoother, faster, just as easy to operate, and significantly more satisfying But they will never have the consistency of assisted or automatic Think of it like a manual vs auto transmission on a car Ones more or less “effortless” and pretty efficient But the other one is thrilling and has spunk behind it

Do you know when this knife drops?

Is this a repost cause I feel I have heard this before the stuffed you said about exactly these 4 knifes.

I'm actually excited to see CRKT move upstream with regards to quality, and therefore pricing. Curious to see how they will handle this in the long term. Can they get past their brand name as a value company? Next time on Dragon Ball Zeeeee

I started off a HUGE CRKT fan, back when they had that Japanese "flavor" from James Williams, Lucas Burnley, Steve Corkum, Alan Folts.... Now, it's "KAILA, KAILA, KAILA!! DID WE MENTION KAILA??", and Ken Onion's surfer knives. WE/Civivi destroys them in the ~ $100 budget category.

It's really odd, but with the ritual, I kinda figured they would've made that color way on the larger model, and saved the white handle one for the compact one? May be just me 🤔

The Obverse is made in the USA with a HRC 59-61 according to the email response i received from CRKT.

I'm really liking it. The price is a bit much. But I'm deeply tempted.

@Rakx10 3 ай бұрын

I love CRKT and I find the new Homefront and the Obverse very attractive but CRKT is at least 5 years late on the knife market. I don't know who is the marketing team but it's a real shame 🙃

That last one seemed like it had a really cool acoustic sound to it. I too hope they are finally starting to pay attention to the knife community. They don't need to totally abandon their cheap budget crap line that's sold a ton of knives to the average guy on the street who doesn't know any better, but at least start releasing some premium designs in premium materials for those of us who appreciate a quality knife. I really like the looks of that last knife! Very good looking design with decent materials, from CRKT? It's kind of hard to wrap my mind around that one! 😆
