COLUMBIA RIVER KNIFE&TOOL Gallagher Badger Knife Columbia River Knife w/Notched Drop Point Blade & Green/Black Layered G10 Scales They selected high-carbon 5Cr15 MoV stainless steel for the 2.85" blade, and applied a non-reflective black oxide coating for maximum corrosion resistance. It's an unusual blade shape that they call a "notched drop point" with a high hollow grind and a strong center spine. The result is a blade with excellent slicing ability and good penetrating ability with minimum weight. The Badger features their patented OutBurst assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. It has Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth action. The grooved thumb disk allows fast either-hand opening, and the locking liner has friction grooves for easy one-hand closing. CRKT owners expect the strength and rigidity of their InterFrame locking liner build with two 2Cr13 stainless steel liners, also black oxide finished, and a black aluminum back spacer. For the Badger scales, we have created a special layered green and black textured G10, which is CNC machined top and bottom to aid grip. The effect is indistinguishable from the best custom builds. As a final touch, they added a removable custom stainless steel clip, also black oxide coated to match. All fasteners are quality Torx, and are also finished in black.
