I have had my Ripple since Labor Day 2010. I really like the knife, but the little button in the locking mechanism has now failed for the 2nd time. I do not put any pressure on the blade or the lock when I am using it so i do not understand why the little button in the grip appears to wear away. CRKT was good about exchanging the knife the first time and I have requested a 2nd replacement. Has anyone else had this problem? I would rate this knife 5 stars if I did not have this recurring problem ***CRKT RESPONSE We haven't heard of a recurring issue with this particular mechanism on this model.

I purchased a Ripple last week. I was so impressed with this knife I purchased a Ripple 2 today. The Ripple line is one of the best EDC series of knives I have seen. Great job, keep these winning designs coming to us
Haven't had my ripple too long. However it has been a great knife and I love showing it off to good friends. It is definitely the nicest knife I own. It's a little pricy but th color, styling, innovation, and quality have really been great. I rate the knife 4.5 / 5. My reasons for not a full five is a little pricy (not too bad for what you get but still) , and my frame where it locks may need some slight adjustment as one time I don't think it was fully locked, also the sharp edges on the grip are fairly rough when your hand drags over it right. These things I have listed are me being extremely critical and I am rating this based upon a $140 knife (with shipping).
This is an example of Ken Onion at his best I have several of his designs, but so far this is my favorite. My Ripple is about as close to a custom knife that you can get without sticking another zero on at the end of the price tag. It's light, fast, sharp, and comfortable in the hand. The IKBS system makes opening and closing the knife smooth as silk, and the attention to detail is fantsatic. Although it's a completely manually activated knife, the flipper is so smooth that it almost feels like it's assisted. I put my Ripple into my EDC (Every Day Carry) rotation, but found that I probably carry it twice as much as any of my other knives. Way to go Ken Onion and CRKT, this one is a Winner

Collected knives since about age 7 and can still hear my Dad saying, "Quit playing with that knife, you're going to cut yourself." Wasn't long before the Band-aids were coming out of the cabinet

I recieved my Ripple folding tactical knife and was immediately impressed by the size and feel. The craftsmanship is first rate and the operation deploying the blade is as smooth as glass. The knife is beautifully designed, one of the most attractive knives I own in my collection. Great knife at a great price.

I choose this knife after researching the best quality and design for a lightwieght edc for the office. I did not want something too bulky or, frankly, too aggressive looking. This knife was perfect. Excellent quality and design for its intended purpose. I would recommend this highly as a gentleman's edc carry.

I love the Ripple. It is a pleasure to look at and it functions even better than it looks. It is a perfect size as well.

This is a great knife. The easiest opening knife I have ever owned. It is so lightweight you hardly know you are carrying it.
