Columbia River Knife & Tool ( CRKT ) Ken Onion Ripple 2 Knife

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Yesterday I posted that I now have the CRKT Ripple available on my site.

Today I now have available the Ken Onion Ripple 2 with a blue titanium nitride finish. 

The Ripple 2 is the Ripple’s little brother.  The Acuto+ blade has been shortened down to 2.70 inches, and overall length has been reduced one inch down to 6.50 inches.

The CNC machined steel handle has a blue TiNi finish that has been given a pocket-worn burnish just like it’s big brother has.  Additionally, just like it’s big brother, this folder also features a flipper and the IKBS ball-bearing pivot.

The Ripple 2 is only available with a plain edge.

You can learn more about this wonderful folder below:

Note:  I am waiting on the charcoal version and will post when it is available.

Columbia River ( CRKT ) Ken Onion Ripple Knife

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Good news everybody.  I just added the charcoal version of the new CRKT Ripple knife designed by Ken Onion.  Thats right, Ken is now also collaborating with Columbia River Knife & Tool

His first model is the Ripple which features a 3.13″ blade made from a steel called Acuto+

The steel handle has been CNC machined and given a charcoal titanium nitride finish.  This finish is then given a pocket-worn burnish in order to highlight the underlying steel. 

Unlike a lot of Ken’s knives, this isn’t an assisted-opener.  Instead it uses a flipper that sticks out the back of the handle.  This flipper when combined with the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) ball-bearing pivot mechanism makes blade deployment almost as fast and easy as your typical assisted knife. 

Other features of the Ripple include a frame lock and a pocket clip.

The Ken Onion Ripple is available in both plain and partially serrated versions and has an overall length of 7.50″.

Note:  This folder is also available with a blue TiNi finish.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any of these available yet.  Once I do, I will post it on this blog.
