Columbia River Knife & Tool Redemption

Collaboration has been a hallmark of successful factory knife launches for many years now, and the CRKT Redemption exemplifies that concept by combining the design talents of Ken Onion with the manufacturing capabilities of Hogue.

The U.S.-made Redemption weighs 4.9 ozs. and features a plain-finish 4.06" spear-point blade of CPM MagnaCut steel sharpened only on one side.

In a style evocative of old West poker players, scales of G10 mate with stainless-steel bolsters and recessed liners, along with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock, to produce a knife that is solid yet lithe in the hand and ultra speedy to deploy.

A deep-carry pocket clip is reversible, and the knife comes with a padded, zippered pouch.

The suggested retail price on the CRKT Redemption is $225. For more information, visit crkt.com.
