Crafted around the innovative Klecker Lock, the Nirk Tighe is impressively strong even in the midst of tough, dirty jobs.Brian Tighe and Glenn Klecker reinterpreted the Klecker NIRK folder by machining and stamping stainless steel into a dynamic, functional design. But it’s not just for looks, the steel frame is a formidable cutting tool handle as well. The integrated Klecker Locks mechanics translates a tighter grip to a stronger blade lock-up. The drop point blade design flows from the handle shape, and its subtle recurve along the cutting edge makes for long sustained slicing. To keep the blade action smooth, a specially-caged mini ball bearing system affords fast and smooth operation. A custom removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip is provided.The next evolution of a classic.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.17" (80.52 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 8Cr14MoVBlade Finish: SatinBlade Thickness: 0.11" (2.82 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 4.27" (108.46 mm)Open Length: 7.44" (188.93 mm)Weight: 3.2 oz (90.72g)Handle: 420J2Style: Folding Knife with Klecker Lock Review: My New Favorite Knife - I have carried a number of knives over the years, starting with a Spyderco Resilience to a Benchmade Griptilian, I have also carried a Blackhawk CQD, a few Kershaws and Sogs, a Rat 1 and several others. Out of all of these knives I can honestly say that out of all of these this new CRKT NIRK Tighe is my favorite. Let me start by mentioning a few of the aspects which convinced me to replace my previous EDC options with this knife. In my opinion the perfect size, with a big enough blade to do pretty much anything you would need an EDC knife to do. The second highlight in my opinion is the slimness of the knife, it is thinner than any of the other knives I mentioned previously even the Resilience yet retains a nice chunky blade. The third thing that sold me on this knife for EDC is the weight, not only is it thinner but it is also lighter than most of the knives mentioned. These three aspects make this knife a no brainer for EDC, yet there are a few other aspects as well which contribute to its awesomeness as a carry knife. The clip is mounted about as far back on the knife as possible meaning that it rides extremely low in pocket, in addition the flipper makes for extremely quick and fluid deployment. Those are the aspects that make it great for carry, now here are a few that make it great for use. First off the locking mechanism is genius essentially its like a frame lockback, instead of having a locking bar at the rear of the knife the back part of the frame is the locking bar. This works astonishingly well and the knife has a very tight lockup in addition to a silky smooth opening, the other thing that I like about this mechanism is the fact that it holds the blade closed rather securely much in the same way a lockback does but flicks open with a light finger flick on the flipper like a frame or liner lock. The only possible disadvantage I can see to this mechanism is also a major advantage, since the frame is directly putting pressure on the blade to stay open, if you use a normal saber grip (thumb on top of frame near the blade) then there is extra force being applied to the lock holding it open even more securely, however if for some reason you chose to use a reverse grip then the pressure would be at the back of the blade, making it possible to unlock it. Just a heads up, the same is true of lots of other lock back designs and they all work fine too. In addition the blade itself is stout for a folding knife, great belly, perfect shape with just a hint of recurve, still easy to sharpen but adds some nice cutting power, and I even love the thumb holes on the blade reminiscent of my Spyderco's and Benchmade's. Finally the flipper, I have to say the shape on the flipper is much better than I have seen on other knives with this feature, it curves gently upward enabling the blade to be flicked open with little to no effort. Altogether I cannot imagine finding a better knife for the money, besides the fact that it is an extremely attractive design and very light, the ingenuity of the mechanism and the strength and size of the blade has caused this knife to beat out the other 30+ EDC knives I own and I'm sure it would be an excellent choice for any knife aficionado or just the average guy looking for a quality EDC option. Review: CRKT Nirk Tighe 2 beautiful well functioning knife - I've seen reviews of this knife saying that photos don't do it justice. They are right, so I've uploaded some of my own photos here onto desertcart that show other angles besides the stock manufacturer's flat photo. The engineering on this knife is amazing... it looks like the whole handle was anodized blue before machining the outer surfaces leaving only the inlay blue, creating the unique silver blue look. The knife has a flipper that allows super quick opening with just one hand. Easy to close too. It has 2 finger cutouts that allow for a safe grip once locked open. The blade is super sharp out of the box. This is a very functional lightweight knife that you barely feel in your pocket, yet is substantial size with a 3.25" AUS8 stainless steel blade. The main reason I bought this knife is that I wanted something different, and that's what you get here. A very unique but strong, lightweight and functional knife that is beautiful to look at in 3-dimensions. I just hope that if I ever need to buy a second knife that my review here doesn't cause these to sell out. ## Features - Innovative Patent: Klecker Lock integrated into the handle for strength - Smooth Opening: Ball bearing pivot system deploys the blade smooth and fast - Easy To Sharpen: High carbon stainless steel blade takes an edge well - Classy Appearance: Satin finish blade has a modern look - Custom Stylings: Two-tone stainless steel handle has distinctive look - Low Profile: Pocket clip provides secure carry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08KCHR31V | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #512,231 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,843 in Camping Folding Knives | | Blade Edge | fine | | Blade Length | 8.1 Centimeters | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Brand | CRKT | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Green | | Customer Package Type | Protective case | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 291 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | CRKT 5241, Pamphlet | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 7.44 Inches | | Item Type Name | NIRKβ„’ TIGHE GREEN | | Item Weight | 3.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Columbia River Knife & Tool | | Model Name | Nirkβ„’ Tighe | | Model Number | 5241 | | Orientation | Vertical | | Part Number | 5241 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bushcrafting, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Hunting, Skinning | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3.2" | | Special Feature | Foldable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | Folding Knife w/Klecker Lock | | UPC | 794023524109 | | Warranty Description | Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Nirk Tighe Green - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Included Components:** CRKT 5241, Pamphlet - **Model Name:** NIRKβ„’ TIGHE GREEN - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Bushcrafting, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Hunting, Skinning - **Special Feature:** Foldable - **Style:** Folding Knife w/Klecker Lock ## Images ![CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F7xnY2fOL.jpg) ![CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qrBBjtJhL.jpg) ![CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CUPuFdZeL.jpg) ![CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-qgUafBWL.jpg) ![CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nj13HIIlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much does it weigh?** A: it weighs 5.1 ounces **Q: How long is the blade?** A: There are 2 models of this knife, mine is almost 4 inches long, depending how you measure it, maybe 1/8 inch shorter. **Q: Which one is bigger tighe or tighe 2?** A: The 2 is smaller.

I much prefer the larger 4-inch blade to the smaller 3.25-inch blade. I also prefer the Green Accent knife to the Blue Accent knife, but CRKT makes the larger blade and the Green accent color nearly impossible to find. Given the grasping prices charges by US cutlers, their lousy marketing and crap customer service is a testament to how much these guys despise their customers. ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT NIRK Tighe EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Silver & Green Machined Stainless Steel Handle 5241 - CRKT Snap Lock Folding Pocket Knife: Gentleman Everyday Carry, Satin Blade, Innovative Snap Lock Mechanism Skeletonized Handle, Quick Release Lanyard 5102N - CRKT K.I.S.S.
