Brian Tighe and Glenn Klecker reinterpreted the Klecker NIRK™ folder by machining and stamping stainless steel into a dynamic, functional design. But it’s not just for looks, the steel frame is a formidable cutting tool handle as well. The integrated Klecker Locks mechanics translates a tighter grip to a stronger blade lock-up. The drop point blade design flows from the handle shape, and its subtle recurve along the cutting edge makes for long sustained slicing. To keep the blade action smooth, a specially-caged mini ball bearing system affords fast and smooth operation. A custom removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip is provided.
The next evolution of a classic.

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.
