The new CRKT Hirin is a wonderfully balanced, unique knife that’s just stunning. We’ll be honest the more we stare at this knife, the more we love it. Designer Dew Hara is the son of renowned knife maker Koji Hara. He’s also a web developer, experienced graphic designer, and maker of beautiful knives in his own right. This new Italian-made limited edition is limited to only 500 knives and they’ve been selling out as fast as dealers can get their hands on them.
The Hirin features a 3.39” satin finished Bohler M390 spear point blade with a blade cutout that mirror the cutout in the handle. It’s a manual flipper with an IKBS ball bearing pivot.
This linerlock has beautifully textured and machined anodized blue and tan titanium handles with a decorative pivot. It has an ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip. It’s 5.26” closed, 8.69” overall, and weighs just under six ounces. It comes with CRKT’s leather pouch.
