Columbia River Knife & Tool Stylus: A Gentleman's Companion
The Columbia River Knife & Tool Stylus is not just a cutting instrument; it is an embodiment of precision, elegance, and functionality. Designed by the esteemed Ken Onion, this knife seamlessly blends style with utility, making it a quintessential addition to any gentleman's collection.
At the heart of the Stylus lies its 3.18-inch drop point blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 steel. Renowned for superior edge retention, this blade ensures that sharpness remains unwavering through extensive use. The satin finish on the blade adds a touch of sophistication while reducing glare—a practical feature for those who value discretion.
The assisted opening mechanism deserves special mention. Utilizing a flipper design coupled with IKBS ball bearing pivot technology, the blade deploys swiftly and smoothly at your command—demonstrating both engineering excellence and reliability in critical moments.
The handle speaks volumes about thoughtful craftsmanship. Fashioned from maroon 6061 aluminum, it strikes an ideal balance between strength and weightlessness. This makes extended handling comfortable without sacrificing durability or stability during rigorous tasks.
An intuitive liner lock system allows for easy one-handed closure—a vital attribute when multitasking demands efficiency without compromising safety.
For those who prefer subtlety in their carry options, the deep carry clip ensures that this knife rides low within your pocket—maintaining both security and accessibility without drawing unnecessary attention.
