Introducing the new CRKT® Hisshou™. The name means “certain victory.” It is the modern embodiment of the close-quarters sword of the Samurai.

Let us be clear: the Hisshou™, designed by James Williams for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT)®, is a specialized tool that is intended for military personnel and special forces operators. James developed this design to meet the specific requests of coalition forces overseas for a more powerful tactical tool than his CRKT Hissatsu™, which is in wide use.

The Stubby Folding Razel™ is a short little frame lock with straight cutting edges of 2.0” and 0.923”. The blade is easily opened with either hand, thanks to dual knurled thumb studs. The hand-contoured ram horn scales swell to fit securely in your palm. Three stainless steel back spacers yield an easily cleaned open build. This is the perfect tool to use for any precision cutting task, such as shaving just a few thousandths of an inch from a woodworking cut, or cleaning up the inside corners of a mortise. And it is strong enough with hefty liners, a 0.13” thick blade, a deep finger choil and ample thumb friction grooves, to handle any rough cutting job, too. Whether you’re a woodworker, electrician, mechanic, sculptor, or home hobbyist, you’ll become attached to this little guy.

Now taking preorders on new Benchmade 14800 HK Tumult DA OTF!

Benchmade HK 14800 Tumult DA Out the Front Automatic

Benchmade announced a new double action out-the-front Automatic knife at the 2009 BLADE show – the HK 14800 Tumult.

Early word on BladeForums.com is that this is going to be a “game changer” for the automatic scene – though the MSRP of this is $280, the expected “street price” is going to be well below that… and since Microtech is the only company with similar production quality, this is going to rock some boats.

The Benchmade 14800 Tumult is being offered in 4 variants –

Introducing the Kommer I.F.B.™, a new Integral Fixed Blade that is simple and just about indestructible, ready for special forces use with a multi-position quick-release sheath.

Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) presents a new knife designed by Russ Kommer for special forces units. He knows that operators want a knife that gets right to the point. So there are no bells or whistles, nothing to break or fall off. Instead, it is a single hot-forged piece of carbon steel that is just about indestructible. We call it the Kommer Integral Fixed Blade, or I.F.B.™

The new CRKT® Kommer 2-Shot™ & Surf ’N Turf™:
One is a versatile hunting knife/sheath system, the other is a folding fillet knife that’s also a great big game boning knife.

Russ Kommer keeps coming up with ideas for high-value knives and tools that every hunter and fisherman needs. We at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) are excited about these two new products which were inspired by his years of experience as an Alaskan guide.

One of Russ Kommer’s favorite custom knife/sheath packages is the 2-Shot™. He has used it daily in the field as a hunting guide in Alaska and around the world. Russ says, “I’ve always preferred a smaller semi-skinner, even for the biggest of game. You just use the hump near the end of the blade to locate your index finger. And the blade is short enough that you can work inside the animal and feel where you are at all times.”

Introducing the new CRKT® RSK Mk5™. This lightweight skeletonized fixed blade fits in a mint tin, yet it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.

Doug Ritter’s RSK Mk5™ (Ritter Survival Knife) by Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) is not a knife you would use all day for normal work tasks. But, based on Doug’s philosophy that “if it isn’t with you, it can’t save you™,” it is compact and light enough to fit in almost any small personal survival kit or stash-away location, yet robust enough that it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.

SureFire T1A Titans back in stock

SureFire T1A Titan

We’ve gotten another shipment of the SureFire T1A Titan back into the store:

The ultra compact T1A Titan boasts impressive light output from a single 123A lithium battery, but it also offers a near infinite range of lower-output settings which allow you to conserve battery power or scale back output when needed. This is all made possible by Titan’s unique variable light output capability controlled by the simple twist of its bezel. Its virtually indestructible LED emitter and precision micro-textured reflector produce 70 lumens of smooth tactical-level light; that’s more than three times the output of a much larger two-D-cell flashlight.
