Product Description
The CRKT Eros earned a spot in the pockets of many due to its slim build, sleek appearance, and overall utility. Now it’s back, this time with a lighter, stronger 6AL4V titanium handle and a designation of Imported Knife of the Year at Blade Show Read More
Sagacious_OHome titanium anodizing. There is a blog on this site on how to do it. It's under Blades then click the Talk tab and scroll down. It was started by @Kavik
Crkt and $100+. That'll be a hard pass. If I want a Chinese titanium flipper, there are FAR better options in this price range. All with better steel.
Ken Onion does design an attractive knife though.
NotsurewhyibotherYea a $100 crkt... eros is a popular knife and is lw put the price and that clip design...Ken onion does great designs and i have many of them but acuto 440? Cmon. Much better options out there for the $$
I saw this and thought, great an awesome knife with upgraded steel! Nope... I still wish I could get CRKT's more popular knives with better steel! For this price I wish it had been the normal handle with S30V.
I've always been a fan of Ken onion knives, and I do like this too....but seriously, when is he going to stop making 1,000 variations of the same damn knife? It's like he got stuck in a rut after the leek.
Like when a comedian gets typecast, everybody just yells, "DO THE THING THAT WE LIKE". I haven't dug deep, but every single model I see from him on here looks overwhelmingly similar to the everything he's done before it. That same handle shape, blade profile, look, and feel.
Quequeg1yes, its true. the amount of milling and the use of titanium is an expensive process and hard on tooling. the steel iirc is a slight upgrade as well, still a budget steel but better than 8cr13mov. you could get a few more cut's using this acuto+/aus118 steel.
granted its not going to be for you or most people. not me either, but most people balk at prices when they dont see the big picture.
anonomouswell i'll definitely be jealouse of anyone who gets one, i love the original eros it's a sleek little knife and a improved, fancier, and slighly larger version is definitely up my alley but i just can't justify the steep price climb for myself. could be i'll talk myself into it over the next couple of days though..
I always personally thought AUS-8 is better than 440. Guess it all comes down to personal preference. There is no one perfect steel. I'm also not saying it's not a very good knife. I'd love to own it. I'm simply saying they could've done better for the money.
PapaEmerituswell this crkt knife is acuto 440 which has addition of chromium and some vanadium over regular 440c composition, which increase several different properties. but only slightly since its not much obviously. so were nit picking here. I don't think anyone would really tell a differences. But there will be a difference but not drastically.
Received this knife as a gift years ago. I would have never bought this knife for myself but I'm so glad someone else did. I use this knife daily and love it. The only downside is the pocket clip. It bends out easily. Crkt has free parts service (including shipping to you) and lifetime knife replacement. I've used both of these services and couldn't be more impressed.
