CRKT Ritual Assisted Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry Utility Folder

The CRKT Kinematic Knives are revolutionizing the world of assisted opening mechanisms. Assisted Opening is a groundbreaking innovation that deploys the blade with impressive speed when manually initiated. When not in use, the torsion bar's tension keeps the blade securely closed. This simpler, faster way of operating has made Assisted Opening the most popular and respected mechanism of its kind.

The key to Assisted Opening's success is its efficient design. The internal torsion bar completes the blade's rotation when deployment is manually started. The IKBS ball bearing pivot ensures the blade opens smoothly. This combination of speed and smoothness is what sets Assisted Opening apart.

CRKT offers several Assisted Opening models, each catering to different needs. The 3801 (LCK+), 2492 (Squid Assist), 6525 (Lanny), and 5325 (Tueto) are all examples of this innovative technology. With blade lengths ranging from 2.37" to 3.31" and overall lengths from 5.94" to 7.75", there's an Assisted Opening knife to suit every task.

The blades are crafted from high-quality 8Cr13MoV and 1.4116 steel, providing excellent edge retention. The handles feature a variety of materials, including glass-reinforced nylon, stainless steel, aluminum, and G10, ensuring both strength and visual appeal.

Assisted Opening is the brainchild of renowned knife designer Ken Onion. In 1996, he created the first commercially successful assisted opening mechanism, and in 2008, he became the youngest ever inductee into the Blade Magazine Hall of Fame. Ken's innovative spirit continues to push the boundaries of knife design, as evidenced by his award-winning Field Strip Technology.

The Assisted Opening feature on the CRKT Kinematic Knives offers a host of benefits. The flipper deploys the blade with lightning speed, while the IKBS ball bearing pivot ensures a smooth, effortless opening. The Sandvik 12C27 blade steel provides superior performance and edge retention. The resin-infused fiber handles, combined with stainless steel bolsters, offer strength and visual appeal. The liner lock can be easily closed with one hand, and the low-profile pocket clip provides secure carry.

Whether you're a seasoned knife enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of knives, the CRKT Kinematic Knives with Assisted Opening technology are sure to impress. Experience the future of knife innovation today.
