CRKT and world-record setting climber create knives and tools that take technology to new heights.
(PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- At 0.6 oz, the NIAD™ (Nose In A Day) folding climbing knife keeps everyone light on their feet when they’re 2000 ft above the ground. It features a simple two-piece design so nothing gets in the way when scaling cliff faces. The stainless steel blade seats against the frame and eliminates the need for a sheath or additional parts while climbing. That’s welcome news for those who are looking for something that’s high-function but not high-maintenance.
When the need to take a bivouac on with one hand arises, there’s the Bivy™. Inspired by Han’s work with the Bandaloop Vertical Dance Troupe, this revolutionary multi-tool provides easy single-handed operation for those times when the other one is busy with rigging or emergencies. Simply push the button and spring-assisted pliers jump into action. A comforting thought for those who are at the end of their rope. It also features a locking liner safety, marlinspike, and Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.
Finally, the Hyphenate™ bridges the gap between knives in places bridges don’t exist. This fixed blade climbing knife crosses over into camping or any other outdoor activity. It features a modified tanto blade design with a combination edge making it feel comfortable in a variety of conditions. Additionally, there are two large holes in the handle to help with grip and cut down on weight, as well as an O² wrench.
The new line was created in response to Han’s need for tools and blades that could operate as freely as he does.
If you’re looking for a minimal knife or tool that offers maximum cutting ability and ease of use, reach for the NIAD™, Bivy™ or Hyphenate™.
The NIAD™ knife manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $39.99.
The Bivy™ multi-tool manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $69.99.
The Hyphenate™ knife manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $29.99.
