Details

CRKT enlisted former Army Ranger Darrin Sirois to design the SiWi fixed blade as part of their Forged By War series of tactical knives. With collaborative design input from custom knife maker Chris Williams the SiWi gets not just its name but the compact and robust design and fabrication that makes the Siwi a tool that will last in the harshest conditions.

Brand New and Direct from Columbia River Knife and Tool.

The Blade: The robust blade made from SK5 tool steel has a black powder coating for low reflectivity and enhanced corrosion resistance. The utilitarian drop point sports a high saber grind for strength and cutting performance. The SiWi was built to stand up to serious use in adverse conditions.

The Handle: Medium-textured Black G-10 handle scales are secured to the tang with large torx screws. Milled grooves in the handle add to the in-hand security while a deep finger choil and spine jimping allow for very controlled cutting for detail work.

The SiWi carries via a tough, lightweight Glass Filled Nylon Sheath molded for secure carry. Included is a large Tek-Lok belt mount.
