K415KXP description
CRKT and noted knife designer Ken Onion are proud to introduce the Aluminum Ripple™ K415KXP folding edc knife.

The Ripple is noteworthy for its exceptional manufacturing quality, plus an almost unbelievable silky smooth and fast opening action thanks to the use of the IKBS internal knife ball-bearing system.

The modified drop point blade has a high hollow grind, swedged top edge, and a high satin finish. Blade Steel is 8CR14Mov high carbon stainless steel with an HRC rating of 57-59. The blade is instantly opened by pressing the blade flipper with either hand. For safety while closed, the blade has a ball detent.

Even the best conventional blade pivot bearings have some degree of friction which resists initial movement, or "stiction." In contrast, the Ripple blade opening action is almost friction-free due to the IKBS ball-bearing system. This innovative and simple design places ball bearings built into the stainless pivot screw. It is compact and adjustable at the blade pivot screw if ever needed. Not only is opening and closing exceptionally smooth, the IKBS system is durable and requires little maintenance, and yields a folder with great rigidity and no blade play.

The Ripple K415KXP model has locking liner. In typical Ken Onion attention to detail, the aluminum handles are CNC machined with over 40 lightening holes and small ripples. The handles are then hard anodized black and then the top of the ripples are polished off to create a pocket worn finish.

Ken Onion designed the stainless steel clip so it tucks away nicely in your pocket for every day carry and easy access.

This knife combines brilliant design, custom knife quality, and advanced manufacturing technology in true Ken Onion fashion.

With the Ripple Aluminum you get a uniquely elegant design, silky smooth deployment, rock solid lockup, wicked sharpness right out of the box, light weight that rides well in the pocket, and an undeniable feeling of quality. When I add that all up, I know I have found my perfect gentleman's folder. Well done Ken Onion and CRKT

The balance on this knife is well beyond excellent. It seems that all to often the weight is all in the handle, but this knife is completely balanced. The opening of the blade is like silk, and it not only looks great, but has an amazing grip and feel in the hand. Well worth every penny.

My first Ripple. I love the look and feel of this knife. Weight is excellent and blade material holds an excellent edge. This will be primarily used for work but also as an EDC knife. The look is polished and quality is excellent. Overall a great value

This is my second Ripple and this is a good knife made much better. The original had a flimsy pocket clip that was always snagging on things, getting bent out of shape and eventually broke (it was replaced free of charge). The new clip is much more sturdy and resists snagging. Additionally, the liner lock mechanism has been improved. A good knife now great.

For design and quality this knife is clearly a ribbon winner. However, there needs to be a caution posting for holding it in the closed position

I was quite pleased with the Onion. It has a nicely shaped and very well ground blade, extremely sharp, and easy to open and close with one hand. I've always been reluctant to carry a knife of this size, but the Onion fits very nice in my pocket and doesn't block access to it's contents.

The aluminum scaled Ripple is the first CRKT knife I've ever bought and it definitely will not be the last. Everything about this knife is perfect. Size, weight, blade. This knife will for sure be my EDC for quite a while now.
