Had this knife for a couple of months and I love it so much I don't want to carry it. It is a work of art. Functional, yet gorgeous. I hope this design continues and expands. It's an instant classic, and very capable.
too bad most crkt knives use cheap quick to dull steel like 8cr13mov or 420. they're beautiful designs but they need to step it up on the steel a little.
+Yogangster1995 This knife comes standard in AUS8, which is quite similar to 8cr13mov. It is made by China though, which makes sense as it is designed by a Chinese custom knife maker.
+Jeremy Madsen I'm referring to their other knives in their line up. Kill the horrid 420 and replace it with AUS8. 8cr13 is ok, i find that the AUS8 holds an edge longer, and takes a sharper edge. But that's just my preference. Like cdawson said, they have beautiful designs, but crkt better step up on their steel choices if they really want to compete in this market.
7.7 x 1 x 0.1 inches ; 5.4 ounces, its a bit of a PIG, my 'sweet spot' is 2--4oz with 4.5oz being my max for EDC pocket carry. 420J2 stainless steel is pretty good basic steel but it the $ is $20 too much to even be in my list, heck I have the AWESOME Kershaw 3840 FreeFall for all of $18, but I like the OUTRAGE
Tx, good review. Like the knife but appears overpriced considering the materials - an frn spacer?!? Not convinced the pivot bearings justify an increased price either - I have a Kershaw Nura (KVT bearings) and it's not noticeably better than my CRKT M16-12Z re blade action. What's that site where you occasionally see the Ripple?
+Brandon Paul The ripple comes in two sizes. One is 3.75 inches closed and one is 4.25 inches closed. You might have the smaller version and Late Boy Scout is showing the larger version.
this knife doesnt seem worth the 100$ price tag especailly being made in china. i would pay more then 25 bucks for a china knife. even then i would probly give the knife away after a week.
I'm tired of seeing ball bearing, frame lock flippers on the market. Overbuilt was in, now its flippers. I guess I just prefer more old school type designs.

Excellent review as always
+Mrgunsngear Channel I appreciate it.
Didn't know you followed the knife world....nice
That's a pretty good looking knife. Would love to put a blue anodized back spacer in there to set off that silver.
+Cr0cket20 You're on to something there!
Did an overview of this knife as well - great knife! Right now this is what I carry daily. Excellent vid!
+Wavester64 Thank you!
Good to see you doing your own stuff seen you on other channels
my edc for past 15 years has been the Kershaw Blackout (1550), another Ken Onion design.
the best knife that i have is a crkt moxie...i love it.
Nice looking knife. Should get stuff done.
This'd be excellent if it was lighter. Tried one at the store, action is nice!
g.s.d. or outrage or the amicus I can't decide.nice review.whats your favorite folder
I dig the stonewash finish.
+Gun Sense (drmaudio) It's a looker!
I wonder if the clip could be used as a bottle opener....
Hey brotha love the bracelet your wearing while carving the stick where can i find that ?
Good review nice knife thanks for sharing

Well said!
+cdawson198600 Exactly. If they could at least start using AUS8 im sure they'd start getting more business.

+Yogangster1995 I agree with you 100%
Very good review.......👍
Hi from Mexico!... can you do a review and testing on the Magnum Böker Compact Rescue Tool? ... Thanks!... Great videos!
Full Flat Grind with a thicker top edge would have been better I think. Also longer gimping on the top edge would have been more functional.

man, great job. I'm going to pick one up soon.
+Dextruse Thanks!
I have the ripple and hootenanny and the size different is pretty big but yours looks closure in size. Am I missing something?

I would like to see you do a review on a knife by Buck, Matt Would Go
That knife is beautiful!!!
+Mr1MOA Agreed!
Kind of reminds me of the smaller crkt "squid" knife but bigger.
I apologize in advance for my ignorance but how hard would it be to sharpen or steepin up the blade?
Chris Hall it should be fairly easy because it's a soft steel
I keep looking for someone correcting you for the thumbnail, but I can't find any so I guess I'll do it.
*gets s*** done
It's a budget liong mah that doesn't cost $350. I may add it to my collection just for the great design
it's looks really clean, but I personally don't like frame locks style knifes.
Grab a Bic pen and put it in your shirt pocket. Pull it out and look at the clip on the aaahhhhhh now you get it.
i prefer the crkt tighe tac 2 tanto compare to this its lighter cool lookin blade and deep carry.
try out archery
I'm done with CRKT, their knife steel sucks.
Why get this when you can get a strider
+Lukedp 97 Um... Price?
nice
what's with the bladehq intro? lol
+16.5toHeaven They partner with me on lots of knife videos.
+The Late Boy Scout ah, I thought it was an editing error
Please open all your knives in frame so we can watch u flick them open.
100$ seems a bit much imo. Nice blade tho.
+The only easy Day was yesterday I've seen it for 60-70.
this knife doesnt seem worth the 100$ price tag especailly being made in china. i would pay more then 25 bucks for a china knife. even then i would probly give the knife away after a week.
The Outrage makes me outraged as a lefty.

Beautiful, awful materials... :( Ti and premium steel and it would be interesting. Thanks for review.
crkt is junk. much better options for same price point
