Description
CRK254TM390: K254TM390 Ken Onion Limited Edition Facet - Viral
Columbia River (CRKT)
Ken Onion is known for his sleek and practical designs, and the K254TM390 is no exception. The angles and facets of the handle complement the slim design and angular shape of the blade. Equipped with CRKT's IKBS ball bearing pivot system, this blade rockets open like you wouldn't believe. The blade is made from premium Bohler M390 steel for exceptional edge retention and features a satin finish. The inset frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade firmly. With the addition of a semi-deep carry pocket clip, the Facet is easy to carry without drawing attention to it or getting in the way.
This special limited edition version of the popular Facet design features a substantial steel upgrade and titanium handles with a fantastic "Viral" design. Limited to 500 units.
About the Knife Designer
Ken Onion - "Though I have been a devout knife collector since childhood, collecting mostly production knives and anything else I could find, I was unaware of the custom knife industry until 1989 when I saw an issue of Knives Illustrated at a local drug store. From there I found a local knife maker named Stan Fujisaka and begged him to teach me. I made my first knife in November 1991 and have continued the craft ever since. While recovering from back surgery in 1996, I decided to try to design a folder that was easier to manipulate than what was available and not a switchblade. The result was the first assisted opening knife I called "Speed Safe" After finding some information on the whole patent process and consultation from an attorney, I got my first patent, creating a whole new category of knives between manual and auto."

A real collector knife
The fit, finish, hand feel & blade steel are all great here. I know it's expensive for what it is but give Mr. Onion his due. This is a knife design that will resonate through time. Knife collectors or just casual users owe Mr. Onion a debt of gratitude. This example expounds on his original concepts & makes a true collectable knife affordable. Own some history.

Thanks CRKT... Nice Knife
WOW! So close to the original. Scales are a bit sharp but should smooth some with time. If you know what this is you should just get one. You will not be sorry. A classic.
