Columbia River Knife & Tool
C.R.K.T. now offers two of their most popular folding
knives the Crawford/Kasper and Ryan Model Seven.
It’s the professional’s choice: But you must match the knife design to the task at hand. Choosing a tactical folding knife is a matter of personal preference. They are all similar in performance, but give the operator a choice of blade length & shape, weight, handle thickness, and grip features.
Both knives have AUS 6M stainless steel blade with a Razor-Sharp/Triple-Point serrated cutting edge. Plus the patented- Lake and Walker Knife Safety, which make the folders virtual a fixed blade when opened.
Both of these CRKT have a heavy duty Inter-Frame build, with 420J2 stainless steel liner, one lock, and 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacers.
The Crawford/Kasper Black model is based on CRKT’s extremely popular Pat Crawford/Bob Kasper folding blade. The 6783K is dressed with all-black treatment, with a black Teflon blade plating,black liners and hardware, and black Teflon plating on the clip as well.
Bob Kasper developed this knife to be very flat so it is not visible in the pocket.
The clip is mounted near the edge for nearly invisible knife exposure when clipped inside the pocket. Each design feature has a clear purpose in the Crawford/Kasper tactical training session.
MSRP is only $74.99.
The Ryan Model Seven (Black) is based on the civilian version (Model Seven). This popular folder has been the talk of many professionals. The Ryan Model Seven’s handle is designed with dual finger choils, palm swell, and ergonomic curve, textured Zytel handle, zig-zag scales and ample friction grooves at the top and bottom of the knife blade that grips you back making this knife extremely controllable. The dual oversize thumb studs make the knife easy to wield with both right and left hand, and aids opening when wearing gloves. The 6813K also features AUS 6M blade steel with black Teflon blade plating, black liners and hardware, and black Teflon plating on the clip.
MSRP is only $69.99.
So ultimatly it comes down to preference and budget. Both knives are an exceptional value, designed to withstand the worst treatment and harsh environments under daily professional use.
