Anubis PR

Allen Elishewitz, the acclaimed Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker, designed the

Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) production version of his Anubis (the jackal-

headed god of the underworld, according to ancient Egyptian mythology). Our Anubis™

shows its lineage as an Elishewitz shape, with the benefits of advanced production

technology.

The blade shape is uniquely Allen’s, with a pronounced drop point, long spine and a high

hollow grind, resulting in strength and cutting power. For superior edge retention, we use

AUS 8 stainless steel in a non-reflective bead-blast finish. It is available in both Razor-Sharp

and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds. A gold-plated Elishewitz

logo is inset into the stainless steel blade in the manner of custom knives.

Lubrous washers and brass bearings at the blade pivot assure fast either-hand opening, using dual

checkered thumb studs which also act as blade stops.

The button lock gives absolute steel-on-steel lockup, resulting in the strongest lock possible.

We have added a version of our patented* AutoLAWKS™ automatic safety, giving maximum

security against accidental closing. To fold the knife, you must pull back the safety lever and

press the button at the same time, making accidental release during vigorous use just about

impossible.

Allen’s design also features an unusual open build with a Zytel® spine back spacer that

allows easy cleaning of the blade groove. Construction is stainless steel for the frame with

injection-molded Zytel scales and an inset brushed stainless steel bolster at the butt. The

handle perfectly fits the average adult hand. Dual reliefs at the finger choil aid grip, and make

opening easier.

Black-out models. We also offer black-on-black “K” models with titanium nitride blade

coating, plus black liners, bolsters, fasteners and clip.

Everything about the Anubis shouts strength. It has the rigidity, sure lockup and heft of

folders costing twice as much, and we welcome comparison.

Of course, in the CRKT tradition, all models come with a removable stainless steel

clothing/gear clip, and all fasteners are Torx®.

This is a sport and work knife that is built to be around for a long, long time. Who

knows? Like Anubis, it may prove to be immortal.

Manufacturer’s suggested list price for the standard bead-blast/black Anubis models is

$99.99, while the black “K” models have an MSRP of $119.99.
