When Jon and Josh Graham of Graham Knives in Cleveland, Tennessee, developed their custom Graham Razel™ in 2001, most knife blades came to a single point. Not the Razel. It's a cross between a chisel and a razor with a knife handle. The result gives two useful Razor-Sharp edges, one for pushing or tapping, and the other for precise cutting. You also get two strong blade points. The Graham brothers have been very successful with their custom versions in a variety of sizes and styles.
The CRKT production Razel models follow the Graham concept faithfully, with very thick full-tang blades of premium 9Cr18MoV (similar to 440C) stainless steel in a brushed finish, hand-contoured Micarta® handles, and custom-fitted Kydex® sheaths.
How are mechanics, carpenters, farmers, and home craftsmen using their Razel models? The Grahams report: Scraping gaskets, removing paint and stickers. Chiseling to make reliefs, mortises and tenons. Prying tight-fitting parts. Cutting things like paracord, wire insulation, radiator hose, plastic ties and tubing. Taper reaming a hole with the twist of the wrist. Reaching into tight spaces and push cutting with the chisel edge. Opening feed bags and cutting through bales of hay. You name it, the Razel does it.
The Ringed Razel™ has cutting edges of 1.125" and 3.0". The handle terminates in a ring for the little finger. You can use this tool in the wettest, slickest conditions without fear of losing your grip.
It's an extremely high-quality work tool, built to custom standards, unique in the knife and tool world. And just about every serious craftsman we show them to, wants one immediately.
In-pocket sheaths. The Grahams have designed the Kydex sheath which comes with the Ringed Razel for right-hand in-pocket carry.

This knife ROCKS It definately has a unique form and design, but it has a great weight and feel to it. Holding the knife feels secure wether holding it front or back, thanks to the ring on the end. Even though the CRKT version of the Graham knives are cheaper, they certainly don't feel like it

I work at Wal-Mart and I tend to use my knives other than what they were made for. The Ringed Razel is one tough knife, I carve with it, scrap with it, what ever one can use a knife for, I use it. The Razel is easy to repair and sharpen. It gets my five star rating...

This knife Granted its a production version of the Graham Brothers Razel Holds up to the Abuse i put it thought. I work in the Military and use this knife as a wire cutter, crimper , and in general every other use other than cutting. It not only holds up but scares the Bejesus out of the Guys at work when I whip it out of the Pocket Sheath . It has been dubbed by several Marines "hatchet" "cleaver" and one guy was speechless . I am not only overly happy with the knife but also the versatility and Function overall I Give this Beast a 10-10 on my scale
