From the Editors

Columbia River, CRKT Koji Hara Ichi, Assisted Opening 1070KS CRKT was delighted when internationally known Japanese knifemaker and American Knifemakers' Guild member Koji Hara agreed to design a personal knife for CRKT. CRKT's goal was to apply Koji's remarkable design sense to a small personal folder which could incorporate their patented OptiFastTM assisted opening mechanism. For rigidity and strength, CRKT used their InterFrame open build, with two 420J2 stainless steel liners. In a first for CRKT, they created layered injection-molded scales of Kraton® and Zytel®, the latter with Koji's terraced Air-Step design. The result is a small knife that gives good grip, fits the hand nicely, and is truly functional for a variety of work tasks. The Ichi features bronze and Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action The handle tapers neatly into a modified drop point pen blade with a high-hollow grind made of high-carbon stainless steel. An ambidextrous thumb disk allows easy one-hand opening. Blade: Length: 2.50" (6.4 cm) Thickness: 0.096" (0.245 cm) Steel: 420J2, 54-56 HRC Closed: Handle length: 3.25" (8.3 cm)
