CRKT Ignitor

[Guest Caveman]

I just got a CRKT Ignitor and wanted to show it off a bit. I love this knife. The blade assist button is on the thumbstud, making the knife legal to carry, since you have to put your thumb on the blade to deploy. It also has Veff serrations, which I have used several times now and am a fan of. You can watch the Youtube video where the inventor (Tom Veff) talks about the advantages of his form of serration. So, without further adieu, a little knife porn for ya.

Serrations don't impress me. I prefer a plain blade.

Interesting serrations. Look like they'd really tear.

I have that same knife. One of my favorite for EDC. Very small form factor considering the blade, and I find those unusual serrations just about my favorite type. +1

I agree 100% The serrations don't bind or stick when cutting or sawing something. They just go through like butter. I had mine sharpened at the last gun show. He used a cylindrical cone shaped file to hand sharpen the Veff serrations, it is like glass now. It is my EDC as well.

On a cheaper scale I believe the premonitionis available with same serrations I think these can be found for $25-30 range.

I know some people aren't big on CRKT but they sure do have alot interesting stuff.

I know people that aren't big on Glock either, but that doesn't make them any less wrong.

I bought the CRKT Ripple at the Blade Show back in June from AG Russell. I think I paid $75 or so. Great knife. It's extremely thin and while I've seen scale designs I like better, these make it very grip-able. I like it a lot. The ball bearing pivot is amazingly slick and with a moderate flip on the opener, it's open as fast as any assisted opening or automatic knife.....and legal in most places (I know they aren't in Michigan).

Oh, I should add.... beside the CRKT Ripple, I've really impressed with the Kershaw OD-1. Really fast action, Sandvik steel, made in USA, and priced around $40 (give or take). I ordered one for my son from Amazon for $33 with free super saver shipping and no tax.

I like the grips and clip placement on the Ripple, seems like a pretty cool knife to me. I am a SOG man, have been for years, but I like my CRKT a lot and have been impressed so far. It is a solid folder in the $50 range, can't beat that.

Not bad, that's just a meat and potatoes type of knife.....I like that.

[LeadWaster]

Yeah, I don't put either the OD-1 or the Ripple in the tactical knife catagory. Meat and potatoes is a good description. A friend of mine calls them "gentlemans knives". I had an Emerson CQC-7 with a tanto blade and never really cared for it, mainly due to the blade shape. It's a fine knife, but not a shape that is very usable for me. As my friend put it "you can't peel an apple with it". That was it exactly. Of course, you could peel an apple with it, but it got me thinking. What I like is a thinner blade. Not a thick heavy blade like most tactical knives. Now, I'm carrying a flat ground Benchmade right now, and it's about as thick as I want..... but a great knife.

I don't want to hijack the thread but did they have the blue ripple at the show ? If so did it look good or did it look cheap

I haven't seen one first hand kinda like it but its hard to tell by pics

I hate to keep pushing the catalog (paper) but its more like a magazine well worth the effort it does take a few weeks to get it

[LeadWaster]

I've seen the blue one. It may have been at the blade show at the Kershaw booth. They weren't selling anything at the show, but AG Russell was. By the time I got to their booth, all they had left was the grey/silver one and the smaller titanium version (more $$$). I think the blue one looks fine. Would have been a tough choice between the two, but I didnt have that choice. The Kershaw catalog and CRKT catalogs are worth having. Both are very nice. For those that don't know, the Blade Show is in Atlanta each June. It's the biggest knife show in the US, by a long shot. It will take all day to go thru it, and you'll still miss things. Me and my boys have been 3 or 4 times. Custom makers from all over the world, as well as the big companies... Gerber, Case, Lone Wolf (now owned by Benchmade), Benchmade, William Henry, Microtech,... you get the idea. It's not a bad drive from east or Middle TN. You won't regret going.
