A.G. Russell Knives

CRKT calls it the Edgie because the edge is honed every time it is opened or closed. The secret is a 400 grit diamond-coated spring sharpener built into the folder frame. It is placed at the precise angle to give the Edgie's Wharncliffe blade a sharpening stroke as it is closed, and again as it is opened. Not only do you never need to sharpen the Edgie with stones or wheel, but you should not, because it may alter the Edgie's proper self-sharpening edge angle. It is important during a long cutting work session to periodically open and close the blade to maintain the edge.

The 2-7/8" satin finished Wharncliffe blade of 420J2 at 54-56 Rc. features a strong full-width spine for most of its length, dual hollow grinds, and a single cutting edge. Because the internal diamond sharpening strip works on this one edge only, a tiny burr forms, which actually helps cutting action, acting as a micro-serration. This makes the Edgie tops for cutting cardboard boxes, rope, cord and even ripe tomatoes. Utilizes stainless liners and stainless back spring for extra handle strength in injection-molded Zytel® scales. Removable stainless clip. Measures 4-1/8" closed and weighs 3.8 oz. Made in China.

Suggested retail $29.99.
