Ritual Compact Assisted Opening Folding Knife: Persian Blade Style with 12C27 Steel, Micarta Handle w/Stainless Steel Bolster, Liner Lock, 7465

What you would expect from CRKT ! Awesome knife with smooth action.

This is the small version and it is pretty small. Solid build though, and definitely unique.

I was actually jumping online to purchase the crkt ritual and and bought this over the blue and white for the colors. On arrival it turned out to be a compact version which they also sell. It's nice enough but the blade is an inch shorter and the handle matches that length. The only question I have is why it cost more than a larger Ritual at around $100. Packed for return this week.

Crisp locking mechanism, little-or-no "slop" or play in the locked-open blade. Elegant, beautiful, and functional. In my opinion, a critical improvement by making it slightly smaller than the larger original.

Received as a Gift. This small knife is very hard to hold as someone with normal size hands.

Received the CRKT RITUAL COMPACT instead of the normal sized one, off the bat saw how small the box was, this def isnt worth the 94$ i paid expecting the fulls size one i can buy for the same amount on their website, the tip of the blade was sharpened incorrectly so when u go to slice things it gets stopped halfway i saw the blade length show 3.3” and thought maybe it was incorrect as a lot of listings are as the real knife is about 4.5” long if this was 70$ maybe i wouldve given it 4 stars or if it had stated it was the compact varient but it didnt sadly compared to the tekto elara its smaller shorter overall and the full scale is bigger than the elara
