Product Description:
Steve Ryan is famous for his rugged tactical knives. The CRKT Model Seven is also a multi-functional working knife.
Leading California knifemaker Steve Ryan is an absolutely unique knife designer and maker who specializes in tactical folders. As a student of Okinawan go gyo, Ryan blends his knowledge of the martial arts with the art of knifemaking. His knives have force of principle, force of design, force of power, typically with unique blade styles and functionally skeletonized handles. He says, If I had to make knives that look like everyone elses, I would not make them at all. There is nothing traditional about a Ryan design.
Ryans Model Seven was inspired by the Filipino barong. CRKT chose to make a production model of the Model Seven because it is a strong, powerful work knife. A deep finger choil gives exceptional grip, and the deep bellied blade provides superior cutting power. Ours is sized slightly smaller than Ryans custom version, for easier carrying and better daily utility.
Knife build is our strong InterFrame construction, with dual 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, and 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacer. Torx® fasteners are used throughout. The black textured Zytel® scales are skeletonized in Ryans trademark aggressive zig-zag pattern, for exceptional grip with less weight. This is a work tool that grips you back.
The blade, of tough AUS 6M stainless steel, is ground to leave maximum metal at the blade center for strength. It is available in Razor-Sharp and Combination Triple-Point and Razor-Sharp edges. Deep thumb grooves aid grip and tell the hand precisely where the blade is at all times. It pivots on Teflon bearings. Special massive oversized dual thumb studs are instantly available without searching.
To provide the maximum in security, we have incorporated the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively makes the Model Seven folder into a fixed blade when locked.
A custom removable Teflon® plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip completes the Model Seven package.

About Columbia River
Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) is a Wilsonville, Oregon-based manufacturer of quality knives and tools founded in 1994. The Columbia River Knife catalog has grown and is divided into two categories, Sport and Work Knives, intended for the general public; and Professional Knives, designed for the military, law enforcement, fire department, search and rescue and other emergency services personnel.
Founders, Rod Bremer and Paul Gillespie commented on the Columbia River Knife & Tool's rapid growth in the highly competitive cutlery industry: "We began with the vision of offering top quality knives at affordable prices to give the highest possible value," said Gillespie. Fortunately, because we were starting with a blank sheet of paper, we could make the new designs we wanted from the optimum materials, using the latest high tech manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, injection molding and fine blanking.
Before packing and shipping each Columbia River Knife & Tool knife, it is inspected for defects in materials and workmanship, the lock and cutting edge are checked, it is opened and closed to assure smoothness of action, and it is lubricated and adjusted if needed.
All Columbia River Knife & Tool knives are built incorporating the most advanced equipment and production systems available, and quality is controlled from beginning to end. Knives are built the way they should be built without compromising quality in any part of their creation. Columbia River Knife & Tool accessories are crafted to the same standards as the knives, so that each sheath, for example, lives up to the customers high expectations.
