Designed by famed knife-maker Allen Elishewitz, the CRKT Elishewitz Anubis Knife features a drop-point blade and durable handle that make for a knife almost too good-looking to use. Almost. CRKT built the Anubis with an AUS 8 stainless steel blade to give you maximum edge retention and cutting power, and a brass and Teflon bearing makes for easy opening with either hand. CRKT’s AutoLAWKS system uses steel-on-steel lockup that holds strong and virtually eliminates accidental closing. The ergonomic handle features a stainless steel frame and Zytel grip panels, and CRKT added a removable, stainless steel clip to keep the Anubis ready for action.
Bottom Line: A serious knife from a serious knifemaker.
The additional metal in the back of the handle counterbalances the weight of the blade. This puts the center of gravity right behind the blade where your index finger would rest.
Well designed knife.
This blade is legit. it's a little too heavy for my everyday blade, i roll with the crkt m16-13z carson, but it is a staple in my gear bag. My buddy scored me this as a gift for introducing him to the steep but i'm not so sure his wife is as stoked as he is! great blade lenght and super solid construction, this blade is indestructable. still have issues with the clip screws crkt continues to use but other than that i love their blades. I have three in my arsenal. if you are lookin for a heavy duty work knife to keeep in the truck or tool box, or love having spare blades in you gear bag like me, this blade truly is for you. if you want some pansy light weight wanker blade, look elsewhere.
this knife is heavy. it has a cool style, elishewitz designed it. however, there's a lot of extra metal in this knife. on top of that, there is a little wiggle in the blade, and that extra lock thing CRKT puts in some knives (which is annoying). overall, too damn heavy.
