Tuition description
Young knifemaker Gerry McGinnis is not well known– yet– in the cutlery world. But he will be when the word gets out about his new production CRKT Tuition knife design. These locking liner folders offer the materials and quality usually found only in custom knives costing many times as much.

The Tuition is offered with Razor-Sharp edges or our exclusive combination patented* Veff Serrations for fastest cutting through rope, twine, netting, and vegetation. As an engineering student in college, Gerry thought his CRKT designs should be named after words that are foremost on his mind right now.

The Tuition is a compact and powerful work knife that is just right for shop and outdoor tasks. The broad sheepsfoot 2.88" blade has a high hollow grind that gives fast cutting, accurate trimming and excellent tip strength. Blade steel is premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel in a satin finish.

One-hand opening is fast using the friction-grooved flipper, which also acts as a blade guard when open. Our stainless steel InterFrame build is exceptionally rigid, and features hand-shaped black and green layered polished resin impregnated fiber scales.

While stubby, the Tuition handle is shaped for grip, swelling at the palm and offering a deep finger choil that transitions into the flipper blade guard, plus thumb friction grooves. The custom stainless steel pocket/gear clip in satin finish is removable.

*U.S. Patent No. D559,939

I've found my new every day pocket knife. My ol'daily stand-by also a CRKT continues to serve me well after 10 . This new knife is a better size for my pocket with a blade large enough to be versital enough for my needs. Great Wotkmanship Not quite sure how I'll go about shapening the blade with the serrated half. Sure I'll figure it out. On a scale of 1-5 I give it a "5" Kevin, CA

This is really a great knife. It's design makes it a good daily tool in the shop and around the house. It is very sharp, opens with easy, and is really just an ellegant everyday carry knife. I especially like the multi color of the base metal and the wood handle varies it's color when light is reflected off of it.

Great EDC knife. The handle is beautiful, but offers good control and comfort. The blade is nice and sturdy, works good for prying, and can take a beating. I've had lots of compliments and inquiries on it. I look forward to trying some of Gerry's other knives.

i absolutely love this knife. went camping this weekend and it was my edc knife. the serrations allowed me to cut through several 1 1/2'' sapling hickory trees, with ease.. the serrations are kinda of soft/thin but are aggressive. what i would like to see is this knife with full serrated blade. it would be a beast

Feels and looks good. True to its purpose i carry it every day, and use it often. Only problem that I have with the knife is that the serration is not holding up very well.

This is a great knife - feels very solid in your hand and is easy to open. The colors on the steel portion of the handle change in the light and are very pretty. We gave this knife as a gift to all of our Boy Scouts who completed a 50 mile canoe trip (complete with engraving) and everyone was thrilled.
