CRKT’s new Contrail is a truly unique high
tech lightweight with an open build and G10 CNC machined handles. Here’s
the latest in high tech super lightweight construction from Columbia River
Knife & Tool (CRKT). The Contrail is a Jim Hammond design which features
a unique open build and striking blue/black layered G10 exclusive to CRKT.
In addition to being a fully functional featherweight carry, it’s a knife
that stands out in the crowd. The textured G10 Contrail handles offer
a comfortable and aggressive grip in a knife that is amazingly light—
the whole package weighs only 1.8 oz.! The custom-color blue/black G10
handles are exceptionally rigid and fill the hand well. Handles are precision
CNC machined, and are textured with aggressive finger castellations at
the finger notch for top security. A 420J2 stainless steel locking liner
is inset in a machined recess in one handle. The blade is laser cut from
quality Z60CDV14 stainless steel in a high satin finish, giving a durable,
tough cutting edge on a flowing, modified spear point grind. The blade
thumb ramp features unusually deep friction grooves for superior control
and safety. Dual thumb studs allow ambidextrous, one-hand opening. The
Contrail features CRKT’s typically robust quality construction, using
Torx® fasteners and Teflon® blade bearings at the blade pivot. Also typical
of CRKT, there is a removable custom stainless steel clothing/gear clip.
Their light weight makes the Contrail models ideal for carry when undertaking
high performance activities such as hiking, climbing, boating, rafting,
and cycling. CRKT has priced the Contrail Series in line with much heavier
conventional knives, making them exceptional values for those who want
strength and technology in a featherweight knife.
