CRKT MCGINNIS NOTORIUS KNIFE PLAIN EDGE. (FREE SHIPPING)

Gerry McGinnis has been busy. Here is one of his two new designs for CRKT: the Notorious, a hefty assisted opener.

How does Gerry McGinnis keep his grades up as a student at North Carolina State University and still keep coming up with new and interesting knife designs for Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT)? We don’t know, but here is one more that we just couldn’t resist putting into production.

Notorious. Here’s a full-size frame-lock folder with our patented OutBurst assisted opening system. Pressing one of the dual ramped thumb studs instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30°. The handle is exceptionally strong and rigid with two stainless steel frames and a stainless steel back spacer. Gerry has designed G10 scale onlays which fit the hand nicely and are CNC machined to give additional grip.

The 3.50” blade is a modified spear point with a recurve and a very high hollow grind, swedged at the top edge. There are ample friction grooves at the thumb. By maintaining a full-width spine nearly to the point, Gerry has created a blade with both excellent cutting ability and good penetration.

Two models are available. The sport and work model is bright, with a Razor-Sharp high satin blade, bead-blast frames and clip, and gray G10 scales. Both models have a removable stainless steel clip.
