CRKT Horus™

Horus is familiar to Egyptologists as the hawk-headed god, lord of the sky. As Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker Allen Elishewitz developed this design for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®), similar in many ways to his larger custom Creedmore, we saw an aggressive hawk-like character in its crisp edges, facets and choils, hence the Horus^™ name. It reminds us of an F-117 stealth fighter, too.

This is much more than an Elishewitz design statement, even though it is a piece that grabs your attention immediately. It's a very functional every day carry with the patented features that have made CRKT folders so popular, including OutBurst^™ assisted opening which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees, and the LAWKS® safety, which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when actuated. Just slide the lever forward to lock, and slide it back to enable easy one-hand closing.

The Horus frame features an unusual choiled pistol-grip curve. The stainless steel InterFrame build has one locking liner and sculpted black textured Zytel® scales. The wild honey gold variegated inlays are the latest CPL composite, like that used in modern bowling balls. Injection molding makes each one unique.

The 3-1/8" blade is AUS-8 premium stainless steel at 58-59 Rc. in a bead-blast finish. We call it an "Elishewitz stealth grind" because it is composed almost entirely of flat angular facets. The result is a very strong blade with a strong central spine which extends very near to the tip. It is available in both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point^™ Serrated edge models.

Typical of all CRKT Elishewitz folders, you get a gold Elishewitz logo on the blade and a custom removable stainless steel pocket/gear clip.

Measured 4" closed and weighs 4.6 oz. Suggested retail if $79.99. Made in Taiwan.
