Lift Off 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 The CRKT® Lift Off™ series has blasted off. This striking design is fully equipped with OutBurst® opening, Fire Safe™ actuation, and stainless steel scale inserts. This Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) knife series embodies everything that we look for in a CRKT product: rugged construction, premium blade steel, good grip and balance, striking design and superfast assisted opening. All these qualities come together in a knife group that is also very competitively priced. It’s a line that’s really taking off, so we call it the Lift Off™. This is a knife for those who want a bit of style and shine in their personal carry. At its core is our InterFrame build with stainless steel liners, one locking, with textured black Zytel® scales. The left scale features a stainless steel insert with a bright brushed finish and deep arrow pattern. In addition, both liners feature fine friction grooves at the finger contact zone. The blade is a satin-finished modified drop point design with a notched and swedged top edge and a high hollow grind. Blade steel is our favorite premium stainless steel alloy, AUS 8. The Lift Off is available in both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edged models. To give instant one-hand opening, we have incorporated our patented OutBurst® assisted opening with the patent-pending* Fire Safe™ mechanism. When closed, the blade is safely locked by the Fire Safe pin. It cannot be opened until the safety button on the end of the thumb stud is firmly depressed and the thumb stud is nudged outward. Just press and nudge for instant lift off. It is both very fast, and very safe, because simply pressing the Fire Safe button does not open the knife. You must both press down and nudge the blade outward deliberately before the Lift Off will open. Lift Off™. The larger Lift Off models are full-size work and sport knives with 4.88” handles and 3.50” blades. They’re solid, heavy-duty knives at 5.2 ounces. Lift Off™ 2. For a personal carry, we also offer the slightly smaller Lift Off 2 models with a 3.0” blade. Lift Off models include a removable polished stainess steel clip. All in all, the Lift Off series is a remarkable package of engineering, design, and precision manufacturing. We did the work; all you have to do is count backward from ten and visit your local cutlery retailer. The Lift Off also features out-of-this-world pricing. MSRP for the larger Lift Off models is $79.99, and for the smaller Lift Off 2 models, an amazing $69.99. The Lift Off 2 model 6820C is available in clampack retail packaging. 1 Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge Combined Razor-Sharp & Triple-Point Serrated Cutting Edge Length: 3.00” (76 mm) Thickness: 0.12” (3.0 mm) Steel: AUS 8, 58-59 HRC Handle length: 4.13” (105 mm) Overall length: 7.13” (181 mm) 3.9 oz.
