CRKT Reveals New Rogers Designs Ahead of Blade Show West

CRKT uploaded a neat little parcel of new knives to their site today, ahead of their actual release next month. Designer Richard Rogers returns, bringing a premium version of an existing design alongside two fresh series.

Persian Frame Lock

This follow-up to the standard Persian, which released earlier this year, scales up the materials across the board. Titanium handles with a carbon fiber inlay, and MagnaCut blade steel, qualify this one as another entry in CRKT’s growing lineup of premium knives. The keen-eyed amongst you will notice that Rogers imbued the blade with a bit more attitude than before, as well: there’s a stylized harpoon swedge, and the blade length is a bit longer, at 3.51 inches.

Q and Q Compact

This brand new model is more visually restrained than the Persian, with a handsome but subdued profile that looks ready to work. The full-sized, limited edition Q [see feature image] comes with a titanium/carbon fiber frame lock handle, and a 3.31-inch drop point blade made, once again, from MagnaCut.

The Q Compact [pictured directly above], meanwhile, features an aluminum handle with G-10 inlays, a liner lock, and a 2.95-inch blade made from S35VN. Unlike big brother, it is not a limited edition. Both Qs, by the way, are based on a Rogers custom, with which they share a name as well as their looks.

Pup Slipjoint and Pup Liner Lock

The Pup knives, as the name implies, are small but mighty EDC knives with 2.09-inch blades, arriving in two different configurations. The premium Pup [pictured above] is a slipjoint knife – albeit one opened with a front flipper, with titanium and carbon fiber just like the Q and Persian Frame lock. However, the blade here is made from Super Dense Twist pattern Damasteel rather than MagnaCut.

The Pup liner lock [pictured right above this paragraph], in addition to the obvious change in mechanism, is also a traditional spine flipper. It’s also the most budget-friendly of the new Rogers releases, thanks to a GRN handle and AUS-10 blade steel. Both the Pups are extremely light weight, by the way: the titanium model is 1.1 oz., while the GRN version is just a tenth of an ounce heavier at 1.2 ounces.

These knives are expected to release on October 4th – coinciding with the beginning of Blade Show West.
