Brand New in box, Columbia River Knife and Tool Hammond Fe7. Includes sheath, straps, Fe9 trainer, and all factory packaging/paperwork. Knives have been thoroughly inspected. 7 3/8" 01 tool steel double edge blade with serrated blade catcher on spine and guard. Heavily pinned 3-D machined G10 handle. Top quality kydex sheath with a snug fit, perfect retention, and multiple mounting configurations. $108.00 to your door USA. Paypal Goods and services (I pay fees, as it should be). I have a couple of these
Please note: The darker area at the top of the grip (guard) is only oil from
the sheath.
Please also note: Black G10 naturally appears gray from machining and
sanding. If you prefer a black handle, soak a paper towel with
Armorall (or equivalent) and apply to entire grip area. Let it sit for
5 minutes and wipe excess with a clean dry cloth. This is a PERMANENT
change, as it soaks into the pores and can't be wiped off.
SPECIFICATIONS
Blade Length 7.38" (187.45 mm)
Blade Edge Dual Plain
Blade Steel 01 Tool Steel, 56-58 HRC
Blade Finish Black Powder Coat
Blade Thickness 0.24" (6.1 mm)
Weight 13.3 oz
Handle G10
Style Fixed Blade Knife w/Sheath
Sheath Feature Molle Clip Platform
Sheath Material Glass Fiber Reinforced
Overall Length 12.5" (317.5 mm)
The CRKT FE line of fixed blade knives is nothing but the industrial made version of the custom knife “Flesheater” designed in 1991 by Jin Hammond and Arcenio James Advincula during Desert Storm to create one of the most highly refined fighting knives today.
In both length the blade is a hollow grind with drop point profile and black powder coating. Hardness is about 56-58 HRC
The CRKT FE project is based primarily upon Advincula's Largo-Mano Escrima and Isshin-Ryu Karate background and 24 year military service as a USMC Ret. Master Sergeant. He is also the creator of the U.S. Marine Corps martial arts training program.
The first feature of the knife is the handle, developed under Advincula's fighting philosophy, facilitates maximum efficiency in four forward grip positions. Contrary to other knife fighters, Advincula is not a strong supporter of “reverse grip” or “icepick grip” (where the knife is held with the blade protruding from the lower side of the hand). His fighting technique is rather based on four different “hammer” or “forward” grips, each of them allowing a different result in terms of chopping or stabbing power.
Upper guard tip and back of the blade is serrated for added grip and control.
So the black G-10 handle of these CRKT knives is not designed to allow a fast switching from forward to reverse grip, but is a masterpiece of ergonomic, closely resembling an anatomical pistol grip.
The mid-point handle drop on the topside of the handle, about two inches from the guard, combines with the finger grooves and handle contours produce the optimal pinch point combination, the key to the stability of the FE grip. Its hourglass contours, combined with these opposing pressure points, virtually lock this knife in the hand.
5028) CRKT Hammond FE9 and its training version molded in thermo plastic rubber. Size and grip is quite the same, weight is 15,2 ounces for the “real” knife while the trainer is 4,8 ounces
Upper guard tip and back of the blade is serrated for added grip and control.
The CRKT FE knife is available with 7,38” (FE7) and 9” blade length. Blade is made of 01 tool steel with black powder coating. Its drop-point design features a razor-sharp, slight recurve bottom edge along with a sharpened leading top edge. Both FE7 and FE9 blades are skilfully machined and finished and show a great resemblance with the original custom made Flasheater.
FE's sheat is molded black nylon with glass fiber reinforcement. It has been designed to accommodate Molle clip attachments, as well as having a leg strap and ample slots for lashing
The sheath is molded black nylon with glass fiber reinforcement and has been designed to accommodate Molle clip attachments, as well as having a leg strap. It comes complete with all of the required hardware for belt or Molle attachment in either high or low positions.
In order to make training with knives easier and safer, CRKT is offering a “trainer” version of FA9 (only 9 inch blade model is available) entirely made of thermo plastic rubber with same size (but not the same feel) of the original knife.
Hammond FE handle was thoroughly conceived and designed in order to offer the best versatility with the forward grip. It is not fit for icepick grip
Advocates of huge knives say that “A big knife does better and faster than a small one” and maybe they are right. If your primary need is a big blade with top notch chopping ability, surely FE's are the right choice for you.
The superlative grip and the powerful blade make them perfect choppers and, of course, a hell of self defense tool in a hostile environment.
Even if designed with special forces requirements in mind, these knives are highly valuable for hunting and survival too.
