CRKT Summa

[JTR357]

Just got this one yesterday.I've been flipping it for a few hours now & I gotta say I'm very impressed with this <$40 knife.

The handle design is slim,sleek & attractive.It's black & blue polished micarta.It fills my (medium to large sized) hand very well.The flipper acts as a guard & there are no thumb studs(which I prefer on a flipper).

The blade is a 3.75&#8221; drop point blade of 8Cr14MoV stainless steel with a very high hollow grind.I've found this steel is easy to sharpen & it takes a fine edge.I believe it's the same steel Spyderco uses on their Byrd line.Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It has a linerlock.The lockup is tight.There is zero play,in any direction.The flip action is extremely smooth.I had to loosen the tension screw very slightly ,out of the box.

The pocket clip is right hand, tip down only.There are no other options.This works for me,since I am right handed.I usually prefer "tip up",but it's no big deal.

I haven't cut much with it yet,but after I put it through the paces,I'll follow up here.

I need to buy a new battery for my camera.I can only take one pic at a time after recharge.:grumpy:

Here's some more info

I played with that one and a few others in what appeared to be a "high end" line of CRKT's. I was impressed with the stepped up quality and materials that were used, I was almost shocked it was a CRKT. Its a great deal for the price and I came real close to getting the one you have but the blue clip was kinda the deal breaker. I usually carry higher end knives with exotic materials and metals but the next time I get the itch for a "cheaper" knife I think it might be a CRKT.

Nice looking knife though glad you like it :thumbup:
