Brand

Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT)

Columbia River Knife & Tool is a brand that commands respect. As a company, they know the importance of reliable, high-end cutting tools and so do the customers of Nebo Knives. Columbia River (also known as CRKT) is a high-end manufacturer of knives based in Oregon, United States. Their brand has been trusted not only by a wide variety of knife collectors and enthusiasts but also by a substantial number of law enforcement agencies, and military service members as well.

For some time, Columbia River has only directly supplied knives from their website to addresses in the United States. However, Nebo Knives are one of only a few suppliers that supply these high-end cutting tools here in Australia, giving you the chance to purchase your very own.

Driven by Purpose - The Columbia River Origins

CRKT are pioneers in the art of knife building. They are driven by a passion for outdoor living that is closely tied to their company ethos. Accompanying that passion is the understanding that knives can and should still be improved, pursuing the perfection of a tool that has been around since the earliest days of mankind. The Columbia River Knife & Tool company first set up shop in 1994. It was started by two friends and coworkers named Paul Gillespi and Rod Bremer — both of whom had gained industry experience from their shared time at another knife manufacturer. Breaking into the knife industry, especially in one as well-supplied as the United States, was always going to be a challenge. The company didn't get its first taste of proper success until the 1997 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade show. At the SHOT show, the CRKT team saw their early model knife, named the K.I.S.S, become an instant hit. The duo sold a year's worth of product in only a matter of days. It was this success that saw the company propelled into the spotlight and it has been there ever since. They’ve received accolades such as the coveted Best Buy Award from Blade Magazine and continue to produce high-end knives to this day. Columbia River Knife & Tool have always taken pride in their continued evolution of knife-making, allowing them to stay ahead of the game for years on end.

Purpose-Built EDC Knives from CRTK

CRKT knives are defined by a combination of cutting-edge designs and high-performance craftsmanship. The company has designed some of the most popular everyday carry folding knives, fixed blades, and multi-tools over the past two decades, often leading to collaborations with world-class custom knife makers as well. Some of the best innovations from CRKT have come as a result of these collaborations. Columbia Rivers' commitment to new innovations has seen them become one of the premier knife manufacturers in the industry. They currently hold 15 patents and patents pending. These patents vary greatly in how they innovate, but each of them improves the ease of use, safety and efficiency of CRK knives. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples. The first is the Outburst Assist opening mechanism. Designed for folding knives, the spring mechanism hidden in the handle allows the user to open the knife at a speed similar to that of an OTF (Out the front) knife. Then there is the Veff-Serration that has been added to many of the CRKT tactical knives. The 60-degree angled Veff-Serrations are designed to create a sharper cutting angle on materials such as rope, fabrics and other fibres. To put it plainly, if you're looking for an EDC option from one of the most trusted names in the industry, you don't need to look any further than Columbia River Knife & Tool.
