Gekkota PR
PRESS RELEASE For immediate release. Contacts: Rod Bremer, Lindsey Phelps, 1-800-891-3100 or 503-685-5015 Fax: 503-682-9680 E-mail: info@crkt.com Tualatin, Oregon, U.S.A.— January 19, 2010 What do we have that’s new and unusual in gadgets in 2010? How about Launce Barber and Tom Stokes’ new multifunctional Gekkota™ line? Most readers of the Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) catalog will know that Gekkota is an infraorder in the suborder Scleroglossa, comprising all geckos. But what the heck is the CRKT Gekkota™? Well, it’s a useful little product designed by Launce Barber and Tom Stokes that’s available in two models, one a daily personal carry, and the other a golf tool. Gekkota™ Pocket. At first glance, this looks like a brooch with a gecko design on the green anodized 6061 aluminum face. But what’s this? Push one of the little flipper tabs, and out pops a 1.375” long spear point blade with a CRKT script laser cut in it. It is firmly held open by the frame lock cut into the Gekkota stainless steel back panel. Push the other tab, and you have a tool that is both a blade screwdriver and a bottle opener, handy when you need to open your favorite soda or microbrew. Then you look more carefully, and find the stainless steel clip on the back, which can be a pocket clip, or a money clip. And there’s a folding loop that allows the Gekkota to be carried on a neck chain or by a small carabiner. Weighing only 1.8 ounces, this is a lightweight tool that has hundreds of daily uses. Gekkota™ Golf. Here’s a tool for the serious golfer that has it all in one small and lightweight package that’s easy to carry around the course. First, there’s a fold-out locking divot fork with two tines. No more ruining the pockets in your golf trousers with the sharp points of a regular divot tool. Second, there’s the screwdriver and bottle opener, which can certainly come in handy on hot days on the course. There’s a magnet which holds a stainless steel ball marker. Finally there’s the stainless steel money clip, which is a great place to stash all your golf winnings. The folding loop allows you to attach the Gekkota Golf to your golf bag with a small carabiner or clip. Both these cute little Gekkota models make affordable and unusual gifts and premiums, both for men and women. The Gekkota models are priced at a very affordable $29.99 MSRP. 1 Specifications Gekkota™ Pocket 5300: Knife with Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge, Screwdriver, Bottle Opener, Money Clip Blade: Length: 1.375” (35 mm) Thickness: 0.093” (2.4 mm) Steel: 3Cr13, 51-53 HRC Closed: Handle length: 2.125” (54 mm) Open: Overall length: 3.50” (89 mm) Weight: 1.8 oz.
