CRKT Ruger Knives Follow-Through Flipper Knife (3.75" Stonewash) R1701

I love CRKT. This is currently 1 of 7 that I own. My newfound interest in knives (and it seems I'm not the only one) has lead to a respectable little collection that is growing swiftly with every passing day. To be honest, I bought this one because the markdown was too good to pass up, but this is a really solid, well-made flipper. It is on the large side as pocket knives go so be sure to look at the stats listed above. It is almost 9" total but it feels great, it's smooth and comprised of the excellent craftsmanship I've come to expect from CRKT and it came sharp out of the box. I am very satisfied with this purchase and, as I said at the outset, at the current price you can't possibly go wrong. What can I say. I dig this knife.

The length is about as long as I like to go for an EDC. It fits nicely in my pocket, and because it's not very bulky it is still fairly discreet. The look of the blade is very attractive and because it features a ball bearing pivot it has a very quick and smooth open.

This knife has an incredibly smooth opening action. I can even open it by a flick of my wrist with the knife in my hand blade down. Then of course the flipper action is like butter. Everything exceeded my expectations. If Ruger ever makes a version that's thinner like the CRKT trajectory, I'm buying it. I may purchase the compact version just because the knife is so smooth.
