A spectacular blade for a fearsome edge

The Ritual Compact folding pocket knife features an 8.4cm blade in Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. This Scandinavian alloy is prized for its good cutting performance and ease of maintenance. The Blackwash finish adds character to the blade and minimizes signs of wear. The Persian profile of the curved saber blade is ideal for precise cuts on a variety of materials, with excellent insertion.

• Blackwash finish: raw style, aesthetic and protective patina effect
• Persian profile: fine point, pronounced curvature for cuts
• Blade length - 8.4cm: compact, versatile format
• Controlled thickness: good rigidity for a fine blade

Fast, assisted opening and secure locking

This CRKT folding pocket knife opens with a flick of the wrist, thanks to a spring-assist system integrated into the tang. The mechanism is reinforced by an IKBS™ ball bearing that ensures smooth deployment. When open, the blade is held firmly by a discreet but effective Liner-Lock.

• Standard tenon + IKBS™ bearing: fluid movement
• Liner-Lock locking: security and comfort of use
