A.G. Russell Knives

Young knifemaker Gerry McGinnis is not well known-yet-in the cutlery world. But he will be when the word gets out about his new production CRKT Tuition™ knife designs. As an engineering student in college, Gerry thought these CRKT designs should be named after words that are foremost on his mind right now.

The Tuition is a locking liner folder offering the materials and quality usually found only on custom knives costing many times as much.  It is a compact and powerful work knife that is just right for shop and outdoor tasks.  The 2-7/8" broad sheepsfoot blade has a high hollow grind that gives fast cutting, accurate trimming and excellent tip strength.  The Tuition is available in either plain edge or combination edge with CRKT's patented Veff™ serrations.  Blade is made from premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel at 58-59 Rc., in a fine satin finish.

Ambidextrous one-hand opening is fast and easy using the friction-grooved flipper, which also acts as a blade guard when open. The stainless steel InterFrame build is exceptionally rigid, and features hand-shaped black and green layered polished Micarta® scales. While stubby, the Tuition 3-3/4" handle is shaped for grip, swelling at the palm and offering a deep finger choil that transitions into the flipper blade guard, plus thumb friction grooves. The custom stainless steel pocket/gear clip in satin finish is removable.  Weighs 3.4 oz.  Suggested retail is $49.99.
