Columbia River Knife and Tool: CRKT NIRK Tighe Knife, CR-5250


The illustrated CRKT knife is the CRKT NIRK Tighe Knife, designed by award winning knife and tool designer Glenn Klecker and Canadian knifemaker Brian Tighe. The NIRK Tighe Knife features a 3.875" modified drop point blade made of AUS8 stainless steel, .121" thick, with a Rockwell hardness of 58-59. The blade of this CRKT knife has a high satin finish, hole cutouts and a flipper for ambidextrous one hand opening. The 420J2 stainless steel handle, 5.25" closed, has geometric cutouts, a satin polished exterior with a blue titanium nitride coated interior, finger grooves for secure grip, a lockback and a lanyard hole. A custom removable stainless steel pocket clip is included with this CRKT knife. The CRKT NIRK Tighe Knife has an overall open length of 9.125", and it weighs 5.1 ounces.

From the CRKT manufacturer's catalog regarding the NIRK Tighe Knife: Like the original NIRK, the knife is a lockback folder in which the spring, release bar and lock detent are all integral with the frame structure. Two pronounced finger notches provide a secure grip. Brian's blade is a graceful but strong drop point design with subtle recurve, and weight-saving reliefs cut into the spine for balance. The blade can be opened with one hand, by using a thumb on the reliefs, or by pressing the blade flipper. The blade is precision cut from premium AUS 8 stainless steel. At the blade pivot, a special caged mini ball bearing system gives fast and smooth opening action. The tighter the grip on the handle, the tighter the lockup, making this an exceptionally safe design.
