CRKT Directive Tanto 1062 Knife Matthew Lerch Liner Lock Flipper Folder EDC

CRKT Directive 05/03/2018
By Phil S
It's labeled as a tanto, and a reverse tanto in most descriptions, though really it's more like a modified sheepsfoot or even modified drop point. Incredibly lightweight! The flipper works well, but you may need to adjust the tension screw as out of the box you need to add a little wrist flip, or load up your finger, to get it to open and lock. I love the blade design, and it seems like a great design- love the additional finger choil on the blade area and the exaggerated jimping makes it easy to handle. Only downsides- no low pocket clip and the handle is a little oversized for the blade. Definitely not deal breakers, but something to consider as this will likely not be my EDC because of this, but will still see regular use.

Pure CRKT Good and Budget 01/14/2018
By Tim Cummings
The review of this knife will be the same as the Tanto or warncliff blade. I purchased this knife not knowing what to expect, the thing that pulled me in was two fold, the price and the blade style. I also purchased this knife in the drop point blade style. To say I was pleasantly is surprised is an understatement. The handle is very well done for my XXL hand with ample grip and best of all it's pure CRKT, smooth and slick for a knife. I am a CRKT convert and while all the models are not up to my standards several have actions worth much more than what you pay for and the Directive models are just that.
