The CRKT Sampa Folding Knife benefits from the collaboration of knifemakers Ken Onion and Flavio Ikoma. Starting with the general parameters of a "gentleman's tactical" folder, the Columbia River Sampa Knife is a lightweight and stylish locking liner folder with a clean open build and exceptionally fast and fluid flipper opening. The blade is premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a drop point shape with recurve and high hollow grind. The CRKT Sampa Knife features a frame of cold-forged 6061-T6 aluminum, which is clean-up machined, gray anodized for a titanium look, and then surface finished, revealing a bright surface pattern which aids grip. The strip locking liner is 420J2 stainless steel, precision inset into one frame.

The CRKT Sampa Tactical Folding Knife uses the IKBS ball bearing system, designed be entirely raceless with the bearings running in channels machined into the blade and frame. The aluminum frame incorporates a stainless steel race/bushing for long life. The IKBS pivot system is durable and requires little maintenance, yielding a folder with great rigidity and no blade play. A spring-loaded ball detent keeps the blade securely closed until needed. Then, a fast press on the flipper yields instant opening and lock-up. The CRKT Sampa includes a custom removable stainless clip.

The Columbia River Knife and Tool Sampa Folder is clearly a personal knife for the high-achiever who values innovative design and custom-knife quality in a personal accessory. It is also an excellent value.
