CRKT My Tighe

September 4, 2007

This well thought our knife made a name for itself when it won the Imported Knife of the Year award last year at the Atlanta Blade Show.  The original brainchild of Brian Tighe, the knife was worked into a wonderful carry knife by CRKT.

CRKT took Brian's frame lock design and have created a line of knives that feature four bead blast and two black finished models.  These production knives feature come in two types of 1.4116 stainless steel blades.  One is the CRKT Razor-Sharp and the second is a Combination of the Razor-Sharp and Veff Serrated Edges, which are excellent at cutting through cording and ropes.

The knife can be purchased with either of two opening mechanisms, either with a standard non-assist opening design or with the CRKT patented innovation, the Outburst mechanism.  This mechanism will cause the blade to spring open once the blade has been opened 30%.  And with dual ramped thumb studs, this knife can be opened by lefties or righties.

The fusion between Brian Tighe's original design and CRKT's innovation have brought about a blade that is no only artfully functional, but is also reasonable priced.  The various models of this knife are available for under $100.
