I own the smaller “Ringed Razel” version of this knife (link here: http://www.crkt.com/Ringed-Razel). The price on these is a bit steep, yes, but the build quality is absolutely phenomenal. These knives are rock-solid, with thick blades and tangs and incredibly strong blade geometry.
The only thing I didn’t like about the Ringed Razel was, sadly, the ring part. I had to take a Dremel to it to round off the edges before it was even close to comfortable on my pinky finger.
I’m considering picking this up simply because I would love to have a larger version of this utility knife.
Not sure who all knows but this is a DC’d item. Snap it up! I’ve been looking everywhere for one of these since I missed the last in the retail chain last year. Very nice!
Woot did not make up that price. Look on the manufactures site. (View All) This being said, CRKT makes great knives. I have a KISS model that I use as a daily carry that has been in my pocket for over 12 years. Still works like a champ. A little of the finish has worn off, but come on, 12 years riding in my pocket with whatever else I shoved in there?
LOL… Sometimes a small, but heavy blade works better. Hiking in the woods and need to cut back a few branches on the trail. Small blade can do the job without looking like a lost pirate swinging a sword in the forest.
Call me crazy but the last thing I am going to do with an 80 dollar knife is hack branches with it.
I purchased one last time it was up, and the beveled end is useful for using to cut and scrape, like a putty knife. It is a good knife for carving large cuts of beef and pork.
the scabbard/sheath feels a bit cheaply put together, but is functional, but hard to attach to a belt if you have any gut overhang.
