Mini My Tighe 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 15, 2009 By popular demand, here’s the CRKT® Mini My Tighe™, a personal carry sized version of Brian Tighe’s striking assisted opening folder. When we at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) introduced Brian Tighe’s popular production My Tighe™ several years ago, the questions began: “When can I get a slightly smaller personal carry version?” So we went to Brian with the request, and he designed the Mini My Tighe™. It is not simply a scaled-down version of the bigger frame-lock model, but was carefully reproportioned by Brian, reflecting his passion for design detail. Like the larger My Tighe, we are offering two finish schemes, one in satin finish and one in black. Handle length is 3.73” and weight is reduced to 3.8 ounces, much more convenient for daily in-pocket carry. The 3.0” blade also has asymmetrical spine facets, high-hollow grind and deep belly with recurve. Steel is 1.4116 stainless in a high satin finish. Both Razor-Sharp and Combination Razor-Sharp and patented1 Veff™ Serrated edges are available. On our “K” model, the blade is coated with black non-reflective titanium nitride for maximum corrosion resistance. The smaller frame-lock folder also has an open build with heavy-duty 420J2 stainless steel frames and a 6061 T6 aluminum back spacer. Frames are bead-blast on the bright models, and black EDP plated on the “K” model. The injection-molded black Zytel® scales have a deep random dimpled texture. Torx® fasteners are used throughout. Our patented2 OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. All models have bronze and lubrous washers at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action. Like its bigger brother, dual ramped thumb studs allow the Mini My Tighe to be quickly opened with either hand. The smaller models also feature a custom removable black stainless steel pocket/gear clip. So if you love the My Tighe, the Mini My Tighe gives you all the style, all the features, and all the performance in a compact package. It is also an excellent value. The bright models have an MSRP of only $79.99, while the black model has an MSRP of $89.99. Why, it reminds us of another successful Mini. One model, the 1093C, is available in retail self-selling clampack. 1. U.S. Patent No. D559,939 2.
