Columbia River Cicada
Columbia River Cicada™ LED, Knife, Scissors with Plastic Sheath
Columbia River Knife and Tool has released a really clever new tool that is easy to carry. The Cicada has some great features. The hard, plastic sheath has a clip that can be used on a belt. It says it can be used as a money clip, but I really don’t see that happening easily. You need to bunch the bills up and slide them under the clip because there is a lip that sort of locks the end of the clip in a groove. Other than that, this is a great tool You can see them at: www.knifecenter.com.

Columbia River Kommer I.F.B. Carbon Steel Blade
Columbia River Kommer I.F.B. Carbon Steel Blade
Columbia River Knife and Tool has a great new Combat Fixed Blade. The IFB stands for “Integral Fixed Blade.” It feels like a single piece of steel – handle and blade. Their method of manufacture is outlined below and, as I understand it, is a sort of molding process. The result is a remarkable knife. It has a heavy-ish feel with a great hand orientation on the handle. Columbia River Knife and tool has gotten the hardness is pretty good at about 61. It is carbon steel, so the coating will help preserve the piece. The sheath seems adequate- covering the blade with the widened start of the handle snapping it pretty securely. See more about the sheath and knife below. You can get them at www.knifecenter.com

Columbia River Graham Folding Razel
Columbia River Knife and Tool Graham Folding Razel
The Razels are legendary. The Grahams of Tennessee have been making the custom versions for years and they are much in demand. These imported models from Columbia River Knife and Tool are really well made and very reasonably priced- this one is $38.95! The end is flat and sharpened but has a more obtuse angle and so can be used as a scraper. The handle is a very comfortable shaped Micarta. The action is fast and the lockup secure. There is a safety on top to help assure the blade stays open. This is a workhorse folding knife. We have them at: www.knifecenter.com

Columbia River Gallagher Rave™ Assisted Opener with Micarta Scales
Columbia River Gallagher Rave™ Assisted Opening Pocketknife with Micarta Scales
Way out knife! the Outburst system is pretty neat- you push down on the thumb stud as you start opening it and it flies out. The Micarta handle is a layered material and the grooves are carved into it much like valleys on a landscape of horizontally layered rocks and it shows the layers in a very artistic way. The effect is remarkable. We have them at www.knifecenter.com

The
Summa and Tuition are great additions to the Columbia River line-up. The designer is, we understand, still in College, hence the names. We at www.knifecenter.com hope these pay his tuition so that he can graduate summa something or other. We like these folders. The have shaped Micarta handles and anodized blue/purple liners and look very cool. The large flippers allow for great opening action and the elegantly designed blades on the Summas are fully hollowed almost up to the spine and the Tuitions are flat ground. These are pretty, elegant, well made and reasonably priced. The liner on the Summas are thin but the lockup is solid. The overall feel is solid, simple and attractive.
