Columbia River Knife & Tool McGinnis Shrimp Knife

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

The McGinnis Shrimp knife by Columbia River is a cute little knife that comes with both a pocket clip and a key ring loop.

Overall length is 4.25″ with a 1.75″ 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade.

One neat feature of this knife is that it comes with a moonglow back spacer that glows in the dark to make it easy to find.

It is of frame lock design where one frame is stainless steel and the other frame is anodized aluminum that comes in multiple colors.

Note: Their is also a version (model #: 1181) where both frames are stainless steel.

I have two versions in stock now:

Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) Vertex CP Knife — Outburst Assist, Fire Safe Safety

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

The Vertex CP (clip point) is brand new from Columbia River and features their Outburst assisted opening system that helps to quickly deploy the blade. 

It also features the Fire Safe safety mechanism that locks the blade in the closed position.  This safety is released by pushing down the plunger built into the thumb stud.

The hollow ground clip point blade is 3.125 inches and is made from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel.

The handle is black hard anodized 6061 aluminum with cocobolo inserts and 2Cr13 steel liners.

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.
