Description

CR5681: Princeton Wong 5681 Orochi Flipper - Titanium/Damascus

Columbia River (CRKT)

Named after the legendary serpent of Japanese mythology, the Orochi embodies the award-winning vision of designer Princeton Wong, whose custom work was recognized at Blade Show Texas 2024. This production version captures that custom spirit with a clip point recurve blade crafted from acid-etched Damascus steel, offering a dramatic visual texture and high-performance edge. The premium construction extends to the handle, which features a solid titanium frame paired with matching Damascus bolsters, ensuring a confident grip and a refined aesthetic.

The Orochi’s mechanical execution is just as impressive as its design, featuring a versatile deployment system that caters to various user preferences. Users can choose between traditional dual thumb studs or a discreet hidden flipper tab - a hallmark of Princeton’s custom builds that keeps the silhouette sleek when the knife is closed. Supported by an IKBS ball-bearing pivot, the blade deploys with a signature glassy-smooth action every time. By blending mythological inspiration with precision engineering, the Orochi stands as a sophisticated, high-performance tool for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
