Notorious & Premonition PR

and still keep coming up with new and interesting knife designs for Columbia River Knife &

Tool® (CRKT®)? We don’t know, but here are two more that we just couldn’t resist putting

into production.

Notorious™. Here’s a full-size frame-lock folder with our patented OutBurst® assisted

opening system. Pressing one of the dual ramped thumb studs instantly springs the blade fully

open after you have opened the blade approximately 30˚. The handle is exceptionally strong

and rigid with two stainless steel frames and a stainless steel back spacer. Gerry has designed

G10 scale onlays which fit the hand nicely and are CNC machined to give additional grip.

The 3.50” blade is a modified spear point with a recurve and a very high hollow grind,

swedged at the top edge. There are ample friction grooves at the thumb. By maintaining a full-

width spine nearly to the point, Gerry has created a blade with both excellent cutting ability

and good penetration.

Two models are available. The sport and work model is bright, with a Razor-Sharp high

satin blade, bead-blast frames and clip, and gray G10 scales. The tactical model is black oxide

coated on blade, frames and clip, with black G10 scales, plus our patented combination Razor-

Sharp and Veff™ Serrated* edge.

Both models have a removable stainless steel clip.

Premonition™. This smaller every day carry (E.D.C.) features a precisely angled flipper for

extra-fast one-hand blade opening. Because of the flipper, the knife does not need either

thumb studs or nail nicks for opening.

The frame is a lightweight open build of hand-contoured, layered blue/black G10, with a

stainless steel strip lock inlaid into a machined relief in one handle frame. The frame is

curvilinear to fit the hand, and is amply skeletonized with nine lightening holes on the other

frame. The black Zytel® back spacer is forward on the handles, allowing maximum blade

length for this length of handle.

The 3.25” drop point blade is premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel with a high hollow grind.

It is available satin finished with a Razor-Sharp cutting edge, or black oxide coated with

combination Razor-Sharp and our patented Veff™ Serrated edge, which gives superior cutting

through rope, webbing and canvas.

The stainless steel strip liner and removable pocket/gear clip are blue titanium nitride coated

to match the blue G10 layer in the handles.
