Original, great design, when buying this knife I wondered what would really arrive. The description and photos looked promising, I took the risk and bought it. Now I do not regret it. A beautiful combination of classic style with modern execution. The handle, eye-pleasing coloring, blade made of decent steel, I'm glad they used it, in other knives including Swedish ones, it works quite well. I like satin-finished blades, which is not an easy finishing method, here it’s done at a high level, you can also see it was done by hand. I've been dealing with CRKT knives for years, like the M16 and M21, and I still use them today. When you buy this knife, it’s hard to believe you can make such a high-quality product with a premium look at this price. The essential traditional lines have been preserved, the knife is made in quite a modern style, without unnecessary extras like decorations I have seen in other knives inspired by Persian style. This knife also makes me think of the Spanish Navaja. Sometimes I have seen unusual CRKT projects, "Ritual" caught my interest, I hesitated to buy it, but today I do not regret it; sometimes I bought knives even twice as expensive with much less attention to detail. The mechanics are great, and you just want to keep clicking it like with an OTF. This knife I will keep as a showpiece, it's really a shame to beat it up, truly excellent work. Militaria.pl's service, as always, everything is great, you can find some good deals for collections in the offer, and the price is quite friendly. I've written quite a bit, but it's hard to convey the impressions of this knife. I absolutely recommend this knife, but remember to use it appropriately for what it is meant for, for example mechanics, bearings, etc. - not to get it dirty or overload, especially not at the tip, to avoid breaking it. I am really satisfied with it.
A compact, lightweight folding knife crafted for everyday carry (EDC) by renowned Australian knifemaker Alan Folts.
Featuring a satin-finished bowie-profile blade made from Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, superior corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening on almost any whetstone. The blade utilizes a high flat grind, and the overall geometry ensures outstanding cutting performance.
A flipper mechanism allows rapid blade deployment with a light push. Smooth, reliable opening is made possible by bearings located in the pivot system using the (IKBS system). Once open, the flipper acts as a guard to prevent your hand from sliding onto the blade. To secure the blade during use, a liner-lock mechanism prevents accidental closure.
The handle is ergonomically sculpted from a blend of rugged 2Cr13 stainless steel and ivory-colored micarta. Strategically placed finger grooves provide a secure grip, even when hands are wet or greasy.
A sculpted profile on the handle further enhances grip stability and handling.
For hassle-free daily carry, a spring-tensioned steel clip enables secure attachment to a belt or pocket edge.

I hesitated for a long time before buying it, but I do not regret it. A wonderful knife and it looks beautiful. I recommend it to all who like slightly heavy ritual knives... in addition, it cuts well.

An interesting folder with an above-average style. The opening of the blade works very smoothly. The handle is an imitation of ivory but it's probably not micarta. Overall, it looks great. I recommend this knife!

A very nice knife that will complement my collection. Quite heavy, sits firmly in the hand. The spring allows you to open the knife with a gentle flick of the flipper or stud. Unfortunately, it's so beautiful that it's a shame to damage it outdoors. For me, it will mostly be a shelf piece, but I highly recommend it.
