CRKT Kith 6433 Black pocket knife, Ken Steigerwalt design

Sunday, September 3, 2023

I decided to have an edc knife next to my son. I was looking for a drop point blade with a 7-8 cm blade, light, good quality and not expensive. I've read a few reviews of knives under $100-$50 and here I am with this one. It came in good packaging, exuding value and quality. The knife has a modern look, it comes sharp, the handle is a bit ridged, and it makes it feel strange in the hand, but it handles well. The first one I bought elsewhere was very tight and couldn't be opened with one hand and with wd40 and shaking after a week it was acceptable with further improvement in timing. The second one bought here came very mobile one-handed, and has also improved over time. The handle is short and may not be comfortable for a large hand like mine. It is very light in the pocket. I carry it with me more and rarely use it, but I think it's a good find for the money.

This is a small knife. Despite checking measurements into account before purchase, I was taken by surprise once I handled it. The knife now has a new owner with much smaller hands. The handle looks good but the speckling is just clumps of narrow, parallel cut grooves rather than differences in composition leaving the impression that it is overpriced. The blade is sharp, very sharp. Opening is slightly stiff but will probably ease. Overall the knife will be okay if it fits in with your needs and expectations for price.
