Judging a knife by it's looks is not always smart but in this case it is pure genius! This wicked CRKT Tighe Rod by knifemaker Brian Tighe is nothing short of amazing. It is all kinds of eye candy with edgy details and style that scream badass! The first thing you notice on the CRKT Tighe Rod is the skeletonized stainless steel handle scales that reduce weight but look killer. They then put a titanium nitride blue coating and surface finished it to give the handle some pop! The AUS 8 clip point blade rolls out smooth via sealed ball bearings and a blade flipper or dual thumbstuds if you choose. Simply press the flipper and voila! A stainless pocket clip will allow this folding knife to ride nicely in your pocket.
