Single and comparison articles and reviews for Columbia River Knife and Tool.
Kaila Cumings’ First CRKT Collaboration is a Mean Carver The Bugsy is the solution for people who want a light survival knife with a smaller handle. In the right hands, this knife has a secure grip that can generate a lot of power for carving and slicing with surprisingly little effort for a sub-4-inch blade. …
Antonio Rodriguez Hits The Knife Design Scene With a War Zone Ready Flipper That is as Fun as it is Versatile. Columbia River Knife and Tool has a new addition to their Forged by War line: the Taco Viper. For this odd snake, CRKT turned to knife designer Antonio Rodriguez, a veteran of the 82nd …
A Surprisingly Comfortable, Surprisingly Tactical Budget Knife Design This is a good hard use tactical knife with a nifty steel and great ergonomics all around. It has a lot of function as a camping knife (which is how I mostly used it), but the really impressive talking point is the drawing ergos with the sheath …
Our Photo Gallery Review of the New Ken Onion Design from CRKT The Facet is the latest Ken Onion-designed folding knife from CRKT. It is also one of the best designs to come out of this collaboration. The overall fit and finish of this knife seems to be a step above a lot of CRKT’s …

A Decent 3-Inch Fixed Blade for All Occasions The S.P.E.W is one of the few horizontal carry knives I own that I actually consider an EDC. It’s small enough not to be intrusive on a day to day basis, the blade is non-threatening, and it’s shaped well for most of the light tasks I need …

I say “rugged” mostly because that’s what the CRKT product description pushes. And I agree the thing is pretty rugged, but that’s not the first thing that …
The Collaboration Between Ruger and CRKT Resulted in a Surprisingly Practical Folding Knife At first glance the Ruger CRKT Two Stage Compact may look like a pocket knife created for the type of guy who carries a tactical backpack to the mall where he berates the sales people at clothing stores for the lack of …
If You Are Looking For a Ken Onion Designed Knife From Kershaw or CRKT, This List is a Good Place to Start Ken Onion has about a million knives that make him famous. The big hitters seem to be stuff like the first Hi Jinx and the Chive. Certainly his run of vegetable-inspired knives hit …

They’ve never exactly been high quality, and most of their designs don’t hold my attention (although that’s clearly not true of all CRKT designers). It’s not that they make bad knives, they just rarely make something that makes me look away …
