Model: CRKT2605

Jim Hammond is an active outdoorsman as well as a custom knifemaker and Knifemakers' Guild member. When his diving and whitewater friends pointed out the need for a better multipurpose fixed blade, he developed his custom A.B.C. (All Bases Covered) knife/sheath system. The two CRKT production versions are faithful to Jim's designs and priced to put them within reach of everyone who depends on a knife for work, survival and rescue.

The pointed-tip A.B.C. Operator's Model has a drop point dual grind Tanto Razor-Sharp blade, with a false top edge and Triple-Point Serrations. It is an ideal general-purpose fixed blade for hikers, climbers, pilots, parachutists, and military personnel.

The blade is full-tang skeletonized designs of premium AUS 8 stainless steel. For maximum corrosion resistance, the steel is first mirror polished to close the pores, and then black titanium nitride coated. The finger choils are heavily friction grooved for sure grip.

The black injection-molded Zytel scales have an aggressive texture, and they are held in place with corrosion-resistant stainless steel Torx fasteners.

The Zytel sheath with dual attachment panels and black stainless spring steel clip allows eight carry modes and countless variations. Black finish brass Chicago screws allow adjustment of the knife compression fit into the sheath. Equally important, they are used for a multitude of attachment orientations: on diving buoyancy compensators and pocket flaps, webbing, with dive leg straps, on PFDs, or with a neck cord.

Strong. Simple. Versatile. Extremely corrosion resistant. All bases covered.
