new EDC piece - CRKT Shrill

[The Nothing]

The new CRKT Shrill


So far I've had it a whole couple hours. Edge is OK, just needs a little honing. I've not had anything with fiberglass grips before, and they're kinda hairy. The only real complaint I have, and I knew this going in, is the leather boot sheath. With it's intent as a boot knife, it fits the bill. The clip is nice and strong; the leather nice. However, I'm going for a horizontal waistband carry. I'll be either making, or have made, a kydex sheath for this purpose. Balance is nice, and just behind the upper grip screw. It feels great in my off-hand, and even better in my strong hand.

as per CRKT:

I've been looking for just such a knife. CRKT is great quality; been carrying a M16-14ZSF for a long time and it's super durable. Where and how much, if I may ask?

 

[The Nothing]

Where and how much, if I may ask?

Amazon and $50ish. Being a brand new release, I felt it fair

 

[Stomper]

Dats a SHANK!!

 

[Ura-Ki]

CRKT still has the Sting, quite a nice covert little nasty one that is!

 

[mjbskwim]

Dats a SHANK!!

Yeah don't carry that up to Washingboard.
Or at least get caught with it.

 

[Stomper]

There in lies the rub......

 

[RicInOR]

Is that sharp on both edges?


"It is illegal in Oregon to conceal carry, on your person, a dirk, dagger, or stabbing knife, a butterfly knife, gravity knife, or any knife with a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force."


From the picture it looks like a dirk or dagger to me - note IANAL.
dirk: "a type of dagger (= small pointed knife) used as a weapon in Scotland in the past"
dagger: "a short, pointed knife that is sharp on both sides, used esp. in the past as a weapon"




You can own, sell, enjoy. Just don't get caught in public with one.

So, by that..carrying a Benchmade Infidel is illegal in Oregon..

Although I think if the clip is showing, its not concealed..

Is the infidel sharp on both sides?
If so that's the problem not concealed or not

 

[The Nothing]

Yeah, I realized shortly after posting that I might have gotten a lil overboard. It looks good on my desk...
