I want the Zaan and the Poon! | CRK Umnumzaan review

Published: 1 year ago

What a classic hard use folder from Chris Reeve Knives. There is a lot to love here, and just a little to hate.

Umnumzaan means "The Boss" in Zulu and in every sense of the definition, it's a knife deserving of respect. It features modifications to the Reeve Integral Lock, more blade strength, pivot and lock tolerances as well as overall ergonomics. The hollow-ground blade is heat-treated to maintain flexibility and edge retention and features a glass-breaker while closed. This bold, innovative folding knife is one to be reckoned with for its inventive design features and ability to get the job done. Who said fixed blade strength can't fit in your pocket? All models are available with a dedicated left or right-handed orientation with a drop point or tanto blade.
