CRKT Jettison EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Utility Everyday Carry, Satin Modified Sheepsfoot Blade, Flipper Open, Frame Lock, Stonewashed Stainless Steel Handle, Deep Carry Pocket Clip 6130

This is my second knife from CRKT and I'm impressed with both. It has a great handle blade etc. For the price I would say this is almost the best knife I've ever owned. The hinge is perfect with absolutely no wiggle in the blade and it opens and closes very smoothly. The one thing I miss that I have in my lesser knives is the spring assisted opening that snaps it out more effortlessly. However, the hinge is so smooth that all it takes is a slight flick of the wrist and the blade snaps into place. This really is an outstanding knife. My only issue with this particular knife is the handle is on the small side. But that's what I bought, something with a smaller profile. It's a very handy pocket knife. The other thing is the blade is a bit on the heavy side compared to the handle, which is nice, because of the little bit of weight, it snaps out more effortlessly into a locked position for use. This blade also seems to very sturdy and tough. I would say my 2 knives from these guys have made blades with the sturdiness of a Gerber knife but more razor like then they are. I like my Gerber knives but they are a bit more effort to keep sharp as the blades are thicker, which is likely because they are "military" grade and are used as tools etc. I think these guys have earned the right to get a lot of business. They are obviously thinking about what they make.

This is my EDC. Cutting through plastic wrap on pallets, slicing through cardboard, it takes it all. Buttery smooth open that's easy to engage even when wearing gloves thanks to generous flipper tab, the tip which is more forward relative to most blade profiles allows the tip to be engaged for cutting through tape etc much easier. The pocket clip is firm, but even wearing gloves the knife is easy to retrieve. Incredibly solid lock as the handle itself IS the liner lock as opposed to a bit of metal which flops into place.Something I find incredibly valuable is also the look. It's not big and scary looking with tactical G10 all over. It's a gentleman's knife without open assist, but such a smooth open you'd think it did. Pulling this out to use around people who aren't knife people, they aren't scared of it. Also because it's such a minimalist / upper class look it's easier to carry at work as opposed to a "scary fighting knife".

This knife is something else.This was my first CRKT and I've already fallen in love with it.This knife runs on teflon washers but don't let that deter you it is the so smooth it runs like bearings.The Good1. Modified sheepsfoot. You get that very sharp tip and some belly for slicing.2. Robust strong Deep carry clip.3. Price. Cost 30$ feels like 300$ quality.4. Sturdy build and frame lock.5. Strong detent.6. Feel in hand, very ergonomic for small/medium hands.The Bad.1. White loctite. It is scary how close I was to striping the pivot.2. Bad finishing. Lots of burrs and cheap 5-10w oil3. No lanyard hole4. Square detent hole??? Why?The Ugly.1. Weight. Might be a little heavy for some.2. Thick spine. Not a potato slicer.3. No traction. Easily fixed with grip tape4. 8cr13mov. Would be nice to see a 154cm version with titanium handles.5. Cold handles in winter. Stainless so it's pretty much a ice cube.This knife bit me only a hour after opening the package so any knife guys know that means your bound for life.Just get it if you don't like it I'm certain it will make a great gift for anyone. Ignore the hate online for all the crap I heard about this knife holding it in hand is a different story.

I've been carrying this knife for about a few weeks now. I see the price just went up. The fit, finish, and sharpness out of the box was very good, the only place where it falls short is the spacer between the frame panels isn't flush along the back of the handle. Balance is just a bit handle heavy, but that is common for just about every folder. It was sharp enough to slice newsprint, which is all I expect from an EDC knife. I don't shave with a pocketknife, although I did just shave a few hairs from my arm. Weight is on the heavy side at 4.4 oz, but probably on par with other framelock folders at this size. Lockup is solid with no play side to side or up and down. The flipper is a bit larger than it needs to be but also works with gloved hands, which is nice, and it provides good finger protection. The flipping action takes a bit more force than I expected - likely due to the mass of the blade, which is heavier than I expected - but it is smooth and positive. The modified sheepsfoot blade shape is to me superior for EDC and the tasks I do with a knife. Two places where the design of the knife isn't quite perfect. First is the sharpening choil. I don't like them. They not conducive to cutting rope and cord and in the case of the Jettison, cord will "pop" out of the sharpening choil and over the blade, so that cutting cord takes more attention and time than it needs to. Second is the rhino horn. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Its location is a bit too far down the blade to act as a thumb ramp, but I can use it effectively if I shift my grip a bit. However, the blade thickness tapers at the tip of the horn, almost to a point, so that when it is used as the thumb ramp there is more pressure (and possibly pain with prolonged use) on the thumb than is comfortable. I'll probably end up grinding it off - plus I think I would like the look better that way. As to comfort, overall it is quite good. The edges of the handle are nicely broken and the back of the handle has a nice gentle curve that feels pretty good. on the front/inside of the handle, there is a large radius cutout that forces me to close my grip further than I would like, but it probably would help in the situation where the knife becomes wet or greasy. For harder use or prolonged use, I think a leather palm glove would be a good idea as I could see a few places where hot spots could develop. For hard or prolonged use, I'd be reaching for a fixed blade anyway, so this may be a moot point. The pocket clip is very good and positioned for deep carry. It holds on to dress pants, and yet easily slides onto a jeans pocket, though it is not reversible (right handed, tip up). Compared to the Buck Vantage that this knife will most likely replace as my favorite EDC... Blade shape - much better for EDC. Overall strength - frame lock plus slightly thicker blade, so yeah. Comfort in hand - not as good as the Vantage. Nice smooth transition from the handle to the blade and no jimping. Flipper - action and smoothness is way better than the Vantage. Pocket Clip - not quite as good as the Vantage, but a little stronger. No complaints. Comfort in Pocket - a bit less comfortable, I don't even know I'm carrying the Vantage. Also, I'm able to get my XL hand into my pocket no problem. A lot of knives utterly fail this test. So why not five stars? I guess due to a couple minor design items, not in the execution - well, not at this price. Others may like the things that I dislike. The Vantage has been in my pocket for 5-6 years. I have never found anything to match its comfort, and while I still haven't, the downfall of the Vantage as always been a suboptimal blade shape. I suspect the Jettison will be in my pocket for quite some time too.
