Product Description
Designed by Jim Hammond, the first ever knifemaker to collaborate with CRKT back in 1994, the Hammond Cruiser is all function. It features a nearly 4-inch blade made from 8Cr14MOV stainless steel for ease of sharpening and corrosion resistance Read More
I have owned 2 of them. I love the handle shape, and the flipper action.
The ONLY reason I will never buy another one and why I never carry them anymore, is the pocket clip. The clip screws will not stay set, and the edge of the clip seems like it has and extension because it finds a way to scratch everything.
And I only paid 15.99 for them 5 or 6 years ago.
BadazzelanoreI owned an incinerator and loved it how it opened and how discreet it is. The clip caught on the inside of a door latch and bent, I eventually lost it.
HygoogYeah, it gave me three nice scratches on the door jamb of my new car when getting in, and they rode at the right hight in my pocket to grab the corner on my expensive dinning room table and gouge it out. Oh well. I really liked the flipper action, the handle shape/feel, blade shape, and weight. I like a weightier knife in hand and I dont mind the width/weight in my pocket. It really felt secure in heavy use.
I picked one of these up as a beater knife several years ago. Not bad for $20, but what gives with CRKT and the LAWKS system? Words like gimmicky, unnecessary, and annoying come to mind. I'm wondering what kind of inappropriate activities I need to engage in for the liner lock to fail, allowing the LAWKS pin to save me from certain dismemberment and/or death?
The pictures really make the knife look much smaller and thinner than I expected... It's quite huge and bulky. Not really an EDC knife, you would need some large pockets and it would definitely stand out. I don't exactly feel comfortable carrying around a huge knife in public.
DiscospacebarAgreed, it's larger and heavier than I expected. I just weighed it after noticing it wasn't listed in the specs. Mine weighs in at 171.5g / 6.05oz.
DiscospacebarYes, I apparently misinterpreted the name Cruiser. Didn't know it meant big like a touring Harley or a ship. Sturdy, you'll always know where it is, good for XXL hands.
Just got mine decent steel poorly assembled had to pull it apart to fix locking mechanism (maybe just a faulty one)
feels good in the hand considerably larger then what i assumed it would be
Just got mine: it's big.
I don't like big knives and assumed it to be smaller.
That said, I love this knife!
Very cheap production, decent steel with very high design esthetics.
Melts into hand and the silhouette is elegant.
I will likely never pay more than a C note for a blade.
Happy
