Modeled closely after his Tighe Fighter custom design, the BT Fighter™ comes from Brian Tighe’s shop in Ridgeville, Ontario replete with all the signature Tighe design details. The, stonewashed stainless steel drop point blade is balanced with a swedge making for a strong, reinforced tip. The handle is equally as eye catching with a layered look carved of one sturdy slab of glass-reinforced nylon. The backspacer and deep grooves help you keep your grip. Deployed with a flipper, the blade opens smoothly and quickly thanks to the ball bearing pivot system. It’s held in place and disengaged with a easy-to-use button lock.
The super deep carry keeps it nearly undetectable in your pocket and a carved space through the clip is built for a lanyard.
When artistry meets exceptional usability.

There are edged tool artisans...and then there’s Brian Tighe. A Canadian Renaissance Man, he is practiced in the art of metallurgy, photography, and tool and die making. It’s what helped him make the leap from a creator of high-quality custom folding knives into the top 10 elite. We were honored to have his Buy Tighe™ blade as our limited edition CRKT® 20th anniversary knife and are releasing the new Tighe Breaker™ fixed blade knife for 2017.
