CRKT Shenanigan 🇹🇼K480KKP Plain Edge Ken Onion Design LinerLock Folder Knife

Description: Introducing the CRKT Shenanigan knife, a versatile and reliable tool perfect for any outdoor adventure. This modern folding knife features a 2.76-4 inch drop point blade made of high-quality AUS-8 stainless steel, with a sleek black color and plain edge design. The blade range is perfect for a variety of tasks, from slicing through rope to digging into a gear pocket. The CRKT Shenanigan knife is designed with an ambidextrous opening mechanism, making it easy to use with both hands. The nylon and bronze washers ensure a smooth and comfortable grip, while the liner lock provides added safety during use. This original and authentic CRKT knife is a must-have for any collector or outdoor enthusiast. The Shenanigan sports a 3-1/4 blade and an overall length of 8-1/4. CRKT claims that the PPS (plastic handled version) weighs 4.1 ounces, but in my hand it feels much lighter. Ive seen listed weights fluctuate from 4.1 all the way down to 3.7 ounces, and Id put it closer to 3.7. Anyhow, not like that really matters too much, but my point here is the knife feels light for its size. It is a bigger knife, straddling the gap between EDC and tactical. Depending on your preferences I think it could lean either way. The blade is a long and elegant modified-drop point design with a slight recurve and a swedge. The blade shape is one of my favorite features of the knife. The recurve, high hollow grind and good belly are all excellent for slicing, and the reinforced tip enables good penetration. CRKT did a very nice job with the edge; it is both well ground and extremely sharp from the box with an almost mirror-polished appearance. The blades good looks have been rounded out with a bead blasted finish and laser etched hallmarks. Blade steel on the Shenanigan is tried and true AUS 8. For a knife at this price point I am very pleased to find AUS 8 here. A good mid range steel from Japan, AUS 8 easily takes an edge and holds up well to EDC tasks. The Shenanigan PPS gets its name from the PolyPhenylene Sulfide (PPS) polymer that has been used for the handle material. This is some sort of highly engineered plastic, and it didnt take a chemistry degree to figure that out. The PPS material is both lightweight and durable and is part of what enables this knife to be had at such a great price. CRKT set out to make a high value work horse, and I think this material selection fits the bill. The PPS is dense enough to feel satisfying and is virtually indestructible. Inside the handle are some partial steel liners adding strength and rigidity to the design. Ergonomics are excellent with the Shenanigan. First of all, it is a larger knife, and there is a good amount of palm swell to fill the hand. Curvature to the handle design allows for a precision fit into the palm. Meaningful texturing adds grip and feedback. Additionally, there is a good deal of functional jimping on the thumb ramp and the choil is large and well placed. The net result is that the Shenanigan is extremely comfortable in hand. Some will be surprised to learn that the Shenanigan is not an assisted open knife. Ken Onion is famous for designing assisted open folders so it could be easy to assume that the Shenanigan would feature a spring assist as well. This one does not have a spring assist however, and you need to use a flipper to get it open. The blade still deploys fast and smooth, with a combination of nylon and bronze washers inside. I dont miss a spring assist at all with the Shenanigan. The blade jumps open with very little effort. Ken Onion really hit this one out of the park when he designed this incredibly comfortable and functional knife. If you need big utility out of a small budget blade, I think there is a lot to like with this one. Stuff that I really liked included the blade shape, the steel, and the ergonomics. I wasnt quite as wild about the position of the pocket clip, and found the lock bar a little on the thin side given the size of the knife and its potential purposes.
