Took a little trip to Tualatin this morning

[UW Mitch]

I am embarrassed to admit that although I've now lived in Oregon for almost 2 years I hadn't gone and visited Doug. But I was finally able to do it this morning. Doug gave me a tour of the office and the warehouse.

Having not been to any shows recently, I've only seen the product pictures of Ken's CRKT knives beyond the full sized Ripple (which I've carried consistently for about 7 months).

The small Ripple is only a little bit smaller but I think is a more perfect size for folks who need a knife for light use everyday tasks.

The small Eros is TINY - think Chive sized, but more sleek. Amazinly even the small knife has Ti handles and a wicked pointy tip. With IKBS and great manufacturing, it flips better than any other knife that size that didn't have a spring or assist in it. I'll have to order a full sized Eros for myself, as they didn't have any around the whole office or warehouse (guess they're pretty popular).

Beyond the Ripple and the Eros there are many exciting things on the horizon for CKRT and Ken! I think they will have an AWESOME line-up by SHOT show next year!

Thank your for the hospitality Doug!
