The Van Hoy On-Fire Knife by CRKT is a frame-lock folder that is not only a shapely form in stainless steel and aluminum, but incorporates advanced CRKT technology. For example, the patented(1) OutBurst assisted opening mechanism instantly springs the blade fully open after you have used the knurled thumb stud to open the blade approximately 30 degrees. Action is super slick, thanks to bronze and Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot. Conventional non-assisted models are also available for those who prefer them or to meet jurisdictional requirements. Also neatly incorporated at the pivot is the patented(2) LAWKS safety, which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when actuated and that makes the On Fire not only a fast folder, but a very safe one. The CRKT On Fire s 2.375 drop point blade is premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a contemporary bead-blast finish. It is available in both Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges. A swedged top grind and four lightening holes add to its appeal. Ed s open build is an unusual combination of a 420J2 stainless steel frame-lock with a 6061 T6 black anodized aluminum side plate, both liberally slotted and drilled to save weight. Finally, a removable custom bead-blast stainless steel pocket/gear clip gives all the carry options imaginable, in pocket, on belt, or in bags and briefcases. Maybe most important, this is a knife that is easy on the eye. Every curve is in the right place; every motion fluid like those of a good dancer. Ed Van Hoy continues to light our fire.
