Introducing the new CRKT® Hisshou™. The name means “certain victory.” It is the modern embodiment of the close-quarters sword of the Samurai.

Let us be clear: the Hisshou™, designed by James Williams for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT)®, is a specialized tool that is intended for military personnel and special forces operators. James developed this design to meet the specific requests of coalition forces overseas for a more powerful tactical tool than his CRKT Hissatsu™, which is in wide use.

The Stubby Folding Razel™ is a short little frame lock with straight cutting edges of 2.0” and 0.923”. The blade is easily opened with either hand, thanks to dual knurled thumb studs. The hand-contoured ram horn scales swell to fit securely in your palm. Three stainless steel back spacers yield an easily cleaned open build. This is the perfect tool to use for any precision cutting task, such as shaving just a few thousandths of an inch from a woodworking cut, or cleaning up the inside corners of a mortise. And it is strong enough with hefty liners, a 0.13” thick blade, a deep finger choil and ample thumb friction grooves, to handle any rough cutting job, too. Whether you’re a woodworker, electrician, mechanic, sculptor, or home hobbyist, you’ll become attached to this little guy.

Introducing the Kommer I.F.B.™, a new Integral Fixed Blade that is simple and just about indestructible, ready for special forces use with a multi-position quick-release sheath.

Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) presents a new knife designed by Russ Kommer for special forces units. He knows that operators want a knife that gets right to the point. So there are no bells or whistles, nothing to break or fall off. Instead, it is a single hot-forged piece of carbon steel that is just about indestructible. We call it the Kommer Integral Fixed Blade, or I.F.B.™

The new CRKT® Kommer 2-Shot™ & Surf ’N Turf™:
One is a versatile hunting knife/sheath system, the other is a folding fillet knife that’s also a great big game boning knife.

Russ Kommer keeps coming up with ideas for high-value knives and tools that every hunter and fisherman needs. We at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) are excited about these two new products which were inspired by his years of experience as an Alaskan guide.

One of Russ Kommer’s favorite custom knife/sheath packages is the 2-Shot™. He has used it daily in the field as a hunting guide in Alaska and around the world. Russ says, “I’ve always preferred a smaller semi-skinner, even for the biggest of game. You just use the hump near the end of the blade to locate your index finger. And the blade is short enough that you can work inside the animal and feel where you are at all times.”

The new CRKT® Minimalist™ is just the least knife structure imaginable, yet it has a useful Wharncliffe blade plus a secure and comfortable handle, thanks to Alan Folts.

Alan Folts is a knifemaker and metalworker in Greenville, N.C., who makes a remarkable range of custom objects, including titanium chopsticks. His Minimalist™ neck knife has proven to be very popular, so we are offering our new Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) production version.

Introducing the new CRKT® RSK Mk5™. This lightweight skeletonized fixed blade fits in a mint tin, yet it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.

Doug Ritter’s RSK Mk5™ (Ritter Survival Knife) by Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) is not a knife you would use all day for normal work tasks. But, based on Doug’s philosophy that “if it isn’t with you, it can’t save you™,” it is compact and light enough to fit in almost any small personal survival kit or stash-away location, yet robust enough that it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.

CRKT products UPDATED!

Now that power has been restored after Kentucky’s worst snow storm ever, I’m back on track for adding new stuff to the site!

CRKT has unleashed the fury this year with a slew of new products and getting rid of a lot of older ones.  

New items will be updated shortly with pictures, specifications and descriptions as I finish them.  In the meantime, you can pre-order them now by looking on the CRKT Complete Listing pages.

On the discontinued front:

  • All the non-assisted opening versions of assisted opening knives are gone.  
  • AG Russells ringers are no longer
  • Van Hoy On Fire models have been eased out
  • Kit Carson’s venerable M16 series in aluminum is gone; however there are still more than enough other models to make up for it.
  • Most of the SOTFB knives are history
  • Koji Hara Ichi knives are hitting the road

100 Days of Savings, Day 97: CRKT M16-13Z Spear Point, Partially Serrated (New Old Stock)

CRKT M16-13z100 Days of Savings continues with Day 97: We’re offering up the CRKT M16-13Z, Spear Point Blade, Partially Serrated for today!

When we at Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) considered offering Kit Carson’s very popular aluminum M16® design in a more affordable build, we turned to our very successful InterFrame construction.

We’ve incorporated our exclusive patented* LAWKS™ automatic knife safety into all models, which converts the M16 Zytel series into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked.

Instead of aluminum handles, we use tough, textured Zytel® scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. We overbuild it for rigidity, using Zytel back spacers. And we assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners.

The handle is slightly heftier and wider than our aluminum build M16, but it is exceptionally rigid. To some of us, it actually fills the hand better.

MSRP on this item is $56.99, our normal retail is $36.99, but during the 100 Days of savings you pay only $25.00*! That’s a savings of $11.99, over 50% off retail! Just add one (or more) of these to your cart, then enter coupon code 100DAYS-CR-M16-13Z during checkout, or click on the previous link.

*price valid until Dec 24, 2008; or while supplies last. This product will not be backordered. Please note: These are New, Old Stock CRKT M16-13Z models without the AutoLAWKs feature.

In addition to the original model with InterFrame build and aluminum scales, for 2008 we’re offering this knife as the M21-14SFG with InterFrame build, G10 scales, and our exclusive Veff™ Serrations. We use premium blade steel on both models. A black titanium nitride blade coating protects against corrosion and gives a low-reflectance finish.
