So I haven't heard or seen anything about some of the upcoming crkt knives and I thought I would just share a little bit of what I found looking around with you guys.

Stainless steel frame lock Eros.

Very classy looking and pricing should be very good. Will be a good way to try them out without dropping a big coin on the titanium ones.

A new tighe. Very pricey probably the hugest end thing crkt has ever offered.

And this box set looks nice for a budget priced Brian tighe themed kit.

Hope this helped inform some of you guys on what looks to be like some decent upcoming offerings from crkt.
 
Sweet now if only CRKT could move some of it's production line back to Oregon, I'd be more than happy to spend some cash on thier product.
 
I hope they like using 154CM and decide to use more of it in the future, I love CRKT IKBS knives.

I feel like there priced right so I'm okay with it not being USA. I stumbled onto the new offerings because I just bought 2 nirks

Wow.. um.. nice, but not for me. That's a hefty price tag for a CRKT. I always thought of CRKT kinda like Gerber. Nice designs, but not the greatest knives.

Have you ever owned any CRKT? Serious question because they hardly compare with Gerber. Closer to a Kershaw.
 
I never owned a crkt but recently I have been very interested in getting one. I'm following this thread, thanks guys.
 
Just like the original Eros I'd love to love it- a good looking knife with IKBS and pretty good steel (glad to see the new "budget" version is AUS-8 and not 8Cr13) but to me that pocket clip it's practically unusable. Still for the price they're going to be good sellers, a lot of CRKT's target consumers can't/won't pay the ~$100 an Acuto+ one costs so for those people its a great addition.

My son has a CRKT Mini My Tighe, and a Marzitelli(?) Prowler (he's 11). And I have a Fire Spark and a Delegate EDC, so yes I do have and have owned other CRKT knives. I won't list what I have owned, but it has been plenty. I like the design of CRKT knives, it just seems that the knives aren't that good. The blades don't hold an edge well, the screws strip easily, and when they are deployed, the spring just feels strange. Feels like a tuning fork. At least on the assisted models. Then there is that whole LAWKS thing. That just makes me feel like they know there is some problem or something with their liner locks.

Kershaws, at least the few that I have had, are very well built knives. Although admittedly, I only have had a handful of Kershaw knives, including the Shuffle, Cryo, Leek, Blur and the Rogue. Of which the only one that I still have is the Rogue.

I have owned, sold, traded and gifted many Gerbers. Again nice designs and nice looking, but not that great. The only Gerber knives that I have kept are the Emerson Alliance, and the 06 Auto. I did have a Propel that I recently had to get rid of. These are the only newer model Gerbers that I feel are made well. Then again this is simply my opinion.

I wasn't trying to knock CRKT, it just kinda struck me as odd that CRKT had a knife with an MSRP of $750. Just like it would strike me odd if Gerber released a knife for MSRP of $750. They are for the most part what I would consider budget knives.
 
Crap steel, if CRK used the same steel his knives would cost about the same as CRKTs.

Bad, horrible steel that won't even hold 15 degrees per side for even light work, hard for me to even start thinking about the bad build quality.

I don't hate CRKT, I just think Kershaw, Cold Steel and Gerber all put out better products at competitive or better prices.
 
I must said I like the old, "tactical" crkt line much better then the new novelty line.
But it must be said that NO company offers so wide choice of makers and designs.
It is not a company for steel snobs, but they always have something new.

And Crawford/kasper and crawford/polkowski are THE BEST :D
 
This neck knife looks similar to the cold steel spike series knives.

This neck knife has a hawk bill shaped blade and looks like it could be a good last ditch defense knife also.

You also got the new stainless frame lock driftors. Ive seen them for sale a few times already on some big sites knifecenter etc for around 24 bucks.

Looks nice honestly for the price and a nice frame lock.

I been carrying a m16-04z for a little now its dedicated as an edc right now. Big blade feels nice pretty sharp and confidence inspiring. Great flipping action and was around 45 bucks. Great value i think.
 
I like some CRKT designs, but the steels they use and the country of origin keeps me away from them. It's encouraging to see them use something like 154CM, it's no S90V or M390, but it's a step up from their usual stuff. I hope this is the first step in a trend towards better materials (at least on some models).
