Columbia River Ed Halligan K.I.S.S. ASSist Assisted Opener
Columbia River Knife and Tool has sold many, many KISS (Keep It Super Simple) knives designed by Ed Halligan since they started years ago. They have just released a great version with an assisted opening mechanism. This series is still small and simple, but they have a great mechanism. Try one out! They’re remarkable.

Benchmade Aphid Folding Knives
Posted March 16, 2011 by Howard

Benchmade Aphid Folding Knives
We remember the Aphid series and we liked them a lot. These new ones are nicer, though, with a great assisted opening mechanism. Not sure why Benchmade picked the name Aphid for this knife—especially after reading about Aphids on Wikipedia. Ladybugs are a natural predator of Aphids… don’t anyone tell Spyderco. All of that silliness aside, this is a very cool little assisted opening gentleman’s tactical. We like the style, the size, the opening action, and the price. We’re just not so sure about the name…

Benchmade 581 Barrage AXIS-Assisted M390 Super Steel Blade
Posted February 17, 2011 by Howard

Benchmade Barrage with M390 Super Steel Blade
Benchmade has begun using this super steel M390 which, by all accounts, is the best on the market. We haven’t tried it here at the KnifeCenter, but objective accounts claim it is superior to the ZDP189 that we love so much. You can buy this knife and let us know! This Barrage model has an upgraded handle, assisted opening operation and the super hard steel blade. What’s not to like?

Carson M-4 Assisted Opening Pocket Knives – All Models Available
We are proud to announce that Columbia River Knife and Tool has delivered to us the great Carson Designed M-4 assisted opening pocketknife with all three handles. We now have this great folding pocketknife in Stag, Wood and White Bone.
Kit Carson is a remarkable custom knife maker who has some of the world’s greatest pocketknife designs to his credit. The Columbia River Knife and Tool M-16 folding combat knife is one of the best selling knives of all time. Columbia River has also released the M-04 series and we think it is more of the gentleman’s folding knife than the M-16, but they are all well designed and well made.

Introducing the Columbia River Delegate
Posted November 17, 2010 by andrew

Introducing the Columbia River Delegate
Usually, assisted opening knives go for the cool tactical look. They are designed to snap open and scare away any potential attackers. But the same design also scares the average civilian. The Delegate from Columbia River is an assisted knife that won’t scare the neighbors, or the maître d’ at that nice French restaurant you like to go to. The sleek and simple design when closed is attractive, and the drop point blade is utilitarian and non-threatening. The handles feature either cocobolo wood scales for the black blade model, or white bone scales for the satin blade model, which really add to the classy quality that this knife has going for it.
However, the Delegate isn’t just about looks. Despite its non-threatening appearance, the blade is razor sharp, and the assisted open action snaps the blade open with authority.

New Kershaw Rake Assisted Opening Pocket Knife
Posted October 13, 2010 by andrew

New Kershaw Rake Assisted Opening Pocket Knife
Kershaw comes up with so many great innovations that quickly become the industry standard. Their new composite blades may just be the next big thing. The Kershaw Rake features high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel on the spine, and the wear-resistant D2 steel on the cutting edge. The wide blade and deep belly give this knife a longer usable edge than other knives of similar lengths, increasing the slicing capabilities of the knife. Despite the size of the blade, the assisted action snaps the knife open quickly and firmly. Best of all, it is made in the USA.

The Return of the Gold Kershaw Leeks
Posted September 27, 2010 by andrew
Out of all the Kershaw Leek versions that were available several years ago, the gold ones were our favorites. Though we are not normally drawn to bling, these Gold Leeks stood right at the edge between cool and obnoxious. Now, they are back for a limited run, and you can own one at a great KnifeCenter price of only $59.95!

The new version features the same overall shape as the original, but that is where the similarities end. There is now assisted opening and a molded Polyimide handle. Plus, because it is built in China to Kershaw’s exacting standards, it is only $25.95 at the KnifeCenter.
