New knife 2019 Collab CF / Ti / M390 / Timascus clip
Evolution, designed by new CKF partner JonnyRotten of Rotten Design. The Evolution is a ergonomics-driven folder with a big cleaver blade. A modified cleaver shape blade shape takes center stage on the Evolution. In typical CKF fashion it’s a large blade, running to 3.74 inches in length. The profile exhibits the squarish, wide, angular traits of a cleaver, but with some tweaks: namely a pronounced belly on the edge and a twice-dropped tip that still rises to an adequate point. There is no flipper tab on the Evolution; instead it is opened via thumb cutout. The blade steel is CKF’s go-to M390 stainless. The result is a definite visual change compared to recent CKF outings. Company Founder Mike Kulygin tells us that seeking out fresh styles is a core tenet of the CKF philosophy. “We’re always trying something new, or new styles,” he explains. “I would like to try lots of new designs from different people – who knows what will be the next.”
