Our art directors and photographers may have become jaded after years of illustrating products for our catalog, but even they were blown away by the quality and finish of our Kommer 30-30 folding hunters. They said, "It was simply a joy to set up the photos because this knife looks good from every angle." Designed by custom knifemaker and former Alaskan guide Russ Kommer, these production knives do indeed have that special look and slick action of a Kommer custom.
That is the approach that our factories took, building these knives of top-quality materials, and finishing them by hand, just as a custom knifemaker does.
The classic drop point skinning blade has a high hollow grind and Razor-Sharp edge to make fast work of the largest animals. We used 1.4116 stainless steel for its combination of edge-holding ability and toughness. The blade is mirror polished to resist corrosion. A ramped thumb stud and lubrous washers at the blade pivot allow easy one-hand opening.
Our strong InterFrame build uses two stainless steel liners, one locking, topped by stainless steel bolsters and hand-finished wooden scales. You have your choice of dark ebony, or rich red cocobolo.
Russ knows that cleaning is an issue with all hunting folders, so he went to great steps to avoid dirt-holding nooks and crannies. For example, the pivot screw is shielded behind the bolsters. The liners and bolster are polished. And the stainless steel back spacer is smoothly contoured inside and out. Finally, there is no clip to catch debris.
Instead, we provide a custom contoured leather sheath with a belt loop and snap-down flap to completely protect the knife when it is not in use.
The result is a sleek knife that not only looks like a million dollars, but feels perfectly balanced in your hand. It is a simple classic design, carefully executed.
Of course, our art director also wanted to know the suggested retail price of the Kommer 30-30, and he thought we were joking. We weren't. You could easily pay twice the price for a knife of this quality.
And you don't have to be a hunter to carry one, because it also makes a useful personal carry, with a hint of the rugged Alaskan outdoors.

Fantastic knife Great feel, great look, great mechanism, great blade. Tested it in the field right after I got it on two deer. Super sharp and balanced and kept an edge throughout. The leather sheath is also really nice quality.

I recently bought 3 of these knives as gifts for my my newly acquired brothers and father in law on my wedding day. As a long time fan of various CRKT models, I was a little worried that criket wouldn't have a knife that looked like it belonged in a banker's suit pocket, or an older man's smoking jacket.
Boy was I wrong. These things are great. They look wonderful, and have the type of blade I've come to expect from CRKT. Good job folks, and keep up the good work.

I just purchased the 30-30 at a gun and knife show. This is my second CRKT knife and I love them both. I have become a fan of CRKT. Great knives with quality of the best. I can hardly wait to try it on an elk back home in Montana.

I bought the Cocabola version. This is seriously a hansom knife (and leather sheath). The blade action is about as smooth as I've ever felt and it is extremely sharp. The knife is lightweight and thinner than I expected (which is well received) but fits comfortably in the palm of my hand. The sheath could stand to be a little tighter but that's just my personal preference. Like the rifle, this knife just seems to get the job done and will get better with age.
