Obake Fixed Blade

finally a good knife from CRKT. I already had a big one from the same brand. I loved it, but one day I wanted to fix the bearings and they all fell out, because it was made cheap. BUT I LOVE THIS ONE. you can carry it on your bald and pull it pikal.

Il est très joli, tiens bien dans la main et c’est une vraie lame de rasoir

Some how I thought the pattern on the blade was painted on (just light gray paint over a dark gray steel blade). Actually the blade is mirror polished then acid etched to form the dark gray areas. That’s a whole new world from some paint on a blade. it is high quality and durable. Good job CRKT ! The wrapping that forms the handle could not be any nicer. It is just great ! Firm and durable and lots of grippy surface without being harsh or prickly. I like it a lot. The knife has a bit of heft and weight to it due to all the steel in the handle area so it feels like a serious knife / tool rather than feeling cheep and light. The edge is sharp enough and well formed; usable out of the box. Again, way to go CRKT. As far as the sheath goes and being hard to pull the knife out of it; I am quite used to these kinds of knives and sheaths and find the best way to pull the knife is to not so much pull on the knife but to push the sheath off with our thumb. Then it is a synch and not the least bit difficult. To get the hang of it start with the knife upside down / edge up and not on your belt. There is a large area of the sheath on the edge side that it is easy to push your thumb against. Don’t worry about contacting the blade edge with your thumb there is a fair amount of handle down in the sheath that your thumb will drop onto when the sheath pops loose. Once you get the feel for this kind of knife draw then you can push your thumb against the rim of the sheath opening on the side of the knife to draw the knife with the edge down. it works quite well once you get used to the idea. My sheath is just right from the factory as far as how much retention it grips the knife with. You want to be able to run down a rocky hill and not have the knife jump out of the sheath. Or carry the knife upside down as a neck knife without there being any possibility of it falling out. In other words it should really snap in there firmly which mine does. If you think the sheath is stupid hard to draw the knife I would recommend getting another sheath made. If you are stubborn, as I am, as a last ditch effort one can heat up the sheath with a heat gun and spread the opening open with some kind of wooden wedge etc and leave it in there until the sheath is cool to the touch. This takes a surprising amount of heat so keep heating and wedging until the plastic suddenly becomes pliable. This stuff isn’t just your ordinary plastic it can resist a fair amount of heat and just sit there and take it. I know this from adjusting other brands of similar fiber reinforce plastic sheaths. Bottom line I have zero complaints about my new knife. For the price it is an astounding product. I wish the people who made it got paid enough (though I fear they didn’t) ; they did a great job.

Wowwww! I can tell you this knife is really sharp. It didn't took 15 minutes from its opening that I cut myself because I was negligent. I thought it wasn't really sharp from factory so I put it aside on the couch. When I moved to reach for it, my finger went straight for the blade. Blade was so "scalpel" sharp that I almost didn't felt it, but only felt a little sting. After a few seconds, I saw blood coming out from my finger. At that moment, I did understand that it sharp enough from factory that you could even practice chirurgical interventions. Ahahha Seriously, since then the blade is always in its well-made fiberglass-reinforced polymer sheath. Pass your belt through the string loop and fix to your belt with the skull's bead. Works great. Give it enough slack so it can be tucked inside the pants at the 1 o'clock position (if you're righty). If you have a little belly, it even can be worn more discreetly, as it cannot even be seen. Untuck your shirt and it becomes invisible. Seriously, this knife is made for a self-defense purpose and looks like a high quality japanese knife. Awesome tool. Must buy for the price.
