Tashi Bharucha Rowdy HiTech CPM-154 Frame Lock

Designed by Tashi Bharucha (one of the industry’s most respected designers), and brought to life by Gerry Mcginnis (one of the industry’s most sought-after craftsmen), the Rowdy HiTech brilliantly combines form and function, fit and finish. The thick 3.5-inch clip-point blade is made from CPM-154 stainless steel: a benchmark steel in the high-end sporting knife category. Hefty enough for taxing cuts, it can also be easily controlled by putting a thumb on the spine. The handle, available in six different styles and three different colors, is ergonomically crafted from 6AL4V titanium. Opening the knife is as smooth as top-shelf single malt. The bearing pivot combines with the flipper tab for effortless deployment. Once open, the blade locks tightly in the titanium frame. Rounding out the knife is the right-handed tip-up clip.

Gerry McGinnis is one of the EDC Community’s youngest and most sought-after designers. After starting with files and sandpaper as a teenager in North Carolina, McGinnis developed his passion for knives and honed his craft throughout his formative years. He began his first collaboration with CRKT when he was still in high school and has since established himself as a serious craftsman in the knife community. An avid hunter, McGinnis is known for his smooth-action flippers and metal work, and consistently strives to improve his work in the quest to make the perfect hunting knife.
