CRKT Ramadi Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath: SK-5 Plain Edge Blade, G10 Handle, 2083

Excellent, small belt knife. Handy size, full-tang, good grip, razor sharp. This will become my EDC on the range

Mine came razor sharp out of the box so not sure what was going on with CRKT's CC for the unfortunate folks that got a dull one. The steel is easy to sharpen and touch up. Edge retionion isn't bad. The coating helps to mitigate rusting concerns. Design is great. I prefer G10 scales and the design on this knife is fantastic. No matter how i grip it I have very solid control of the blade. Comes with a Tec Lok for multiple carry options. I carry it horizontal appendix and it doesn't get in the way at all. Overall size is about perfect for unobtrusive carry. Only complaint is that I would prefer a larger thumb rest on the kydex sheath to aid in the draw but that really is just nit picking. Overall I'm very pleased with this blade. CRKT has another winner. Just wanted to point out that the Esee Izula II is similar so you may want to compare. Micarta handle if you prefer that and some like the hole in the back of the tang. Also similar to a Bradford 3 but those are going to be more expensive due to material and workmanship.

First off, this is a WELL DESIGNED blade! The handle texture is perfect. The blade thickness means that “most” users will NEVER wear this blade out. The sheath is very doable for most people with many cant carry options. My biggest complaint is that it was dull when I received it. Call me old fashioned or just plain anal, but a NEW knife from a company as well established as CRKT should come hair-shaving sharp! This blade was NOT. I brought it up to speed on my whet stones. It is now 10-8 and squared away. I have (5) five other CRKT blades and they were very sharp. The handle is too short for my XL glove-sized hands. If the handle was an inch longer, it would fit perfect. Also I like, when I can, to buy American. CRKT is an American company but this blade was made in Asia. That’s ok, but it should have been cheaper in price to reflect this. I purchased a much BETTER blade made in Asia that I like a lot; the JXE-JXO for almost half the price. It came hair-shaving SHARP!!! Much like the Siwi, but made for grownups. Lol Sad, but true. : ( The Siwi is a well built blade that is well executed and designed. Hats off to it’s designer. It should have been sharp when I received it. Hope this helped someone. : )

Has such a great balance and tight fit in the sheath. Don’t know why I waited so long to finally buy this.!? I’m loving everything about this knife.!

So I bought this (with other co-workers) as a gift for my bosses b-day / bosses day as he is a hunter and mentioned he lived my CRKT / SOG blades that I showed him. The one he seemed to like the most isn't sold anymore so this was the next best thing. Just looking at it you may think its just a basic blade with a plastic handle, no. It's one of the heaviest and sharpest blades I've seen in this price range in a long time. The handle is nice and weighted, very sturdy and feels AMAZING. I am almost sure you could have the knife and your hands wet and your hand won't budge. This blade is build so amazingly the photos can't do it justice. Get one and just hold it, that alone will make you want to keep it. Well balance, very sharp and hold edge, very nice handle and ergonomic for left and right handers, very sturdy, thick high grade steel and strong handle that grips your hand as you grip it. Also comes with a nice sheath that can be adjusted to any angle and position so you can carry it on nearly anything! I will def. be getting myself one as well. We go him this last month and he's used it hunting and he hasn't had to sharpen it once as of yet.

Great duribility, sheath is strong and is tight around the knife. Only complaint is it was a little strange figuring out how to set up the belt clip and sheath without directions

The more I use it, the more I like it! What a great designed knife. Not so much as hint of being loose, loosing its edge or flaws in both the units I purchased. Very sturdy, fits the hand, even in different positions, remarkably well..someone really put time into the developement of this unique grip. Sheath is not just strudy but secures the knife very well, yet allows quick deployment with zero drag! I added two 1.5" belt loop clips (made for kydex holsters) screwed tot he sheath, which really made the knife an excellent EDC item! Compact but big enough. I love mine, you will too!

Great knife. Sheath fits great and the kinge handle texture is amazing. The overall feel and shape are really appealing. I bought it for skinning dear so I hope it works well for its intended use. I just wish it came sharp. Actually pretty dull so I'm going to have to out some work into. That's the only reason for the 4 stars.
