The CRKT Ritual Compact is a 3.05-inch assisted-opening folding knife from Columbia River (brand part no. 7465) designed for daily use, drawing inspiration from old-world Persian fixed blades. The blade is crafted from 12C27 steel and stays just over three inches, sturdy enough for everyday carry while staying pocket-friendly. Assisted opening and an IKBS ball-bearing pivot ensure quick, easy opening and closing whenever the knife is needed. A micarta handle with a stainless steel bolster combines strength with strapping good looks, equally at home breaking down a package on the doorstep as it would have been in ancient Persia.
