(1055W) Delegate - EDC
1055W description
If you were a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadephia in 1787, you would feel right at home with our new line of gentleman's folders, so we're calling it the Delegate line. Classic knifemaking tradition comes through in their understated design and use of natural materials.

But like the Founding Fathers, there is a revolutionary aspect to this line. We have incorporated our OutBurst® assist with our patent-pending* Fire Safe release mechanism which is built into the thumb stud.

When the blade is closed, it is securely held in place by the OutBurst spring bias, and is also locked in place by the Fire Safe pin in the locking liner, which engages the blade.

To open the blade, simply press in on the Fire Safe thumb stud, and rotate it forward to begin blade opening. Once the blade is open approximately 30 degrees, the OutBurst assist takes over and instantly completes the opening action. In practice, one-handed opening is a fast, single movement of the thumb.

This system provides exceptional safety because it is very difficult, if not impossible, to open the blade accidentally. Bumping or pressing the thumb stud does nothing. The user must know the secret rotating action to open the blade.

Delegate EDC 1055W. This larger Delegate model has a 3.125" drop point blade of premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. Our rigid InterFrame build uses stainless steel liners, one locking, with black anodized 6061 aluminum bolsters and inlaid scales. The dark model 1055W has a black oxide-coated blade with cocobolo wood scales. It features a high-mounted stainless steel clip.

I gave the Delegate as a Christmas gift to my father, and my only regret is having not done it sooner. Both he and I found the overall craftsmanship and design beautiful and near flawless. It is remarkable that such a superior product is available at such a reasonable price.

I just received this great-looking knife in today's mail. It is the 7th blade I have from Columbia Knife Tool. It has great lines, balance, and the perfect size for a classy pocket knife. ONLY ONE PROBLEM.......I'm LEFT-HANDED The thumb stud is located only on one side and cannot be opened if you use your blade in the left hand, as I do. HEY CRKT GUYS How 'bout makin' one for us "Southpaws" Love the Knife, wish it could be used with the left hand. The Blooch 2011-09-17 San Diego, CA

Really nice knife. It's taking a bit to get used to opening but I suppose the mechanism will wear in in a few weeks so it's easier. Elegant blade, shape and feel. I wish is was about an inch longer as it would fit better in my hand.

This is a beautiful little knife. It did take me a couple of days to get used to the safe fire and get it broken in, but now it is surprising how well it works. The construction is nearly flawless, which easily makes it worth the price, and it is super sharp right out of the box. This is a happy addition to my EDC.

This is a great knife, looks beautiful and works well. After a little practice, opening the blade is quick and easy with the outburst assist. The only complaint I have is that I wouldn't want to try closing it one handed because you need to put your fingers directly in the blade path to close.

A high quality knife. Attractive and well made. Opening and closing it 10 or a dozen times broke in the mechanism nicely. Charlie

Really well designed. The outburst works so well it's a little startling. Good construction. Wish it were made in the USA.
