First strike by CRKT

[shesulsa]

Just bought this baby today. Anyone else have this yet? Have only grip-tested it, no field yet. Feels good in my hand in traditional and reverse grips.

You gotta let me know what you think about this knife after a while. I've been thinking about adding it to my collection.

I'm a little apprehensive about the wrap - I may rough it up a bit, but the form fits my hand rather nicely. It is thicker than most blades I've worked with making it significantly heavier of course.

The butt, as you can see is persuasive which at first turned me away - I've preferred the comfort of either a rounded or flat butt. I was surprised that my forefinger fits quite nicely there without discomfort.

Here's a better picture of it:

A full tang knife ... I wanna use it!

Looks good! There's a stabbing blade, eh? I love the look of tantos but don't generally prefer them in use...no deep reason, really.

Cool.

If you like that one, I have something to post in a few days that is coming in the mail any day now...

Do tell!

Do tell!

I'll do more then that; I'll provide picks as soon as it's in!

I got one, liked it but ended up giving it to a friend that loved it more on his b-day. I like more utilitarian pieces, and I don't think that I could ever use it.

I love CRKT blades. I used to have a great folder from them. Lost it on the river this summer while kayaking with Erica. She replaced it with a Gerber of the same general type and I love it too.

I to like CRKT knives, particularly their folding knives.
