Columbia River 1070 Koji Hara Ichi Assisted Open Folder Pocket Knife

CRKT Koji Hara Ichi Spring Assist Knife 1070

CRKT Description

CRKT was delighted when internationally known Japanese knifemaker and American Knifemakers’ Guild member Koji Hara agreed to design a personal knife for CRKT. CRKT's goal was to apply Koji’s remarkable design sense to a small personal folder which could incorporate their patented OptiFast™ assisted opening mechanism.

For rigidity and strength, CRKT used their InterFrame open build, with two 420J2 stainless steel liners. In a first for CRKT, they created layered injection-molded scales of Kraton® and Zytel®, the latter with Koji’s terraced Air-Step design. The result is a small knife that gives good grip, fits the hand nicely, and is truly functional for a variety of work tasks. The Ichi features bronze and Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action

The handle tapers neatly into a modified drop point pen blade with a high-hollow grind made of high-carbon stainless steel. An ambidextrous thumb disk allows easy one-hand opening.
