COLUMBIA RIVER 1080 FULL THROTTLE KNIFE

CRKT 1080 Full Throttle

Look through the CRKT catalog, and you will see page after page of successful hunting and fishing knife designs by Knifemakers’ Guild member and Alaskan guide Russ Kommer, whose custom knife shop is now in Fargo, North Dakota. But Russ blew us away with his prototype for the Full Throttle, which is definitely a rock-solid personal frame-lock folder that is made even slicker by the addition of our patented OutBurst assisted opening mechanism. It is a classy everyday carry with a flat profile that fills the hand and has perfect balance.

His design uses a hefty open build. The frames are 420J2 stainless steel in a lightly textured 25-micron-thick blue/black polyurethane hard enamel finish. Often used for surveillance equipment, tripods and computer parts, this thin, hard coating gives superior protection from corrosion, abrasion, and impact. A pronounced finger choil enhances grip.

Gold-plated fasteners, blade stop pin, and dual checkered thumb studs add a distinctive custom touch. We have also replicated Russ’s back spacer in gold-anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, complete with CNC-machined file work.

This knife comes with the patented Outburst assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. All have bronze and Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action.

A high-mounted custom removable mirror-finish stainless steel clothing/gear clip gives this rugged all-metal work knife great versatility for carry in pockets or on belts and gear.
