Description
CR5720: Ken Onion Jr. 5720 Bamboozled Assisted Flipper Knife
Columbia River (CRKT)
A classic and unobtrusive design is a winning combo for EDC especially when it's designed by Ken Onion Jr., son of the legendary Ken Onion. The Bamboozled lives up to its name with a blade that completely disappears inside of the handle, but flies out with a press of the flipper tab thanks to the assisted opening construction. Quality D2 steel lends itself well to daily use and the drop point style is useful in a large variety of situations. The handle is smooth black G10 is accented by steels bolsters and lends a classic look that wouldn't fall short even as a gentleman's knife. Bamboozled is another classic from the Onion family.
How Assisted Opening Works
It's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part-way through the rotation the blade swings open at an impressive speed for a simple, powerful, one-handed opening.

Beautiful Design
The look of this knife is perfect. It is a well constructed solid build. So far it has held it's edge fine. I am not really a fan of assisted knives but the design of this knife is too good so I can over look it. I would buy it again without question.My one gripe is the lack of jimping and the only reason i gave it a 4/5. The top and bottom of the knife are very similar in feel. In active use I found it easy to accidently get it turned around. It would be nice to have a slight jimping on the top to be sure without visual inspection when pressing a thumb into it. I wanted this to be a thought free everyday utility knife but one wrong press and I found I had to be more mindful while using this knife.

Beautiful and functional
A beautiful and very functional EDC pocketknife. Has a classic look with solid hand feel and sharp out of the box blade. I have hundreds of knives but only a few I keep in rotation for every day carries. The Bamboozled went immediately into that rotation group. Very impressed with the knife and also very impressed with the service from KnifeCenter. Always fast shipping, safe packaging and fair pricing.
