This week on Spotlight Series we're taking a look at the new Obake Skoshi fixed blade from Columbia River Knife & Tool. The original Obake, designed by Lucas Burnley, has proven to be a very popular knife for CRKT, and this model carries all those same aesthetic traits into an all-new low-profile package.
The appearance is inspired by classic Japanese designs, featuring a straight-back, full-tang blade with hollow grind. Some lovely acid etching gives the blade a really attractive finish that is equal parts classical and modern. Skoshi is a contraction of the Japanese word Sukoshi, which translates to "a little bit" - a perfect qualifier for this particular knife. Whereas the original Obake had a blade length of 3.64", the blade on the Skoshi is a compact 2.4".
The handle is styled after the Katana, with a faux ray-skin texture wrapped with Nylon cord, making for an exceptional no-slip grip. The handle is of course quite small, and perhaps a bit too small for my taste, but it's quite a comfortable, secure hold nevertheless. Even in larger hands the knife never feels like it's in any danger of slipping or dropping.
As with the original, the Skoshi features a glass-reinforced nylon sheath with an attachable belt clip. The knife slots into the sheath extremely securely thanks to this notch at the end, and the low-profile makes for an unobtrusive carry. The Obake was designed to be carried discreetly inside the waistband for immediate access, and as such features a nylon lanyard to keep the sheath attached to your belt after drawing. The lanyard sports a cool little skull bead as a nice accent in this sea of black.
Overall, CRKT's Obake Skoshi takes everything you loved about Burnley's original Obake and scales it down for a compact, capable fixed blade that makes for an easy and stylish EDC. You can click the annotation or the link in the description to learn more about this knife, and don't forget to check back every week for an all-new Spotlight Series. Thanks for watching from the KnifeCenter, serving the web community since 1995.
