CRKT Orochi Liner Lock Knife: Clip Point, Plain Edge, Satin Blade, Blue G10 Handle, Model 5680

The Serpent Strikes: Meet the Orochi.

The Orochi takes its name from the legendary serpent in Japanese mythology and its many appearances in anime—embodying the raw untamed power of the natural world. Designed by knifemaker Princeton Wong, the Orochi brings his award-winning vision—recognized at Blade Show Texas 2024 for Best Machine-Assisted Custom Knife—into an accessible everyday carry.

The clip point recurve blade in a satin finish is made from 14C28N steel, delivering reliable edge retention and clean slicing performance. Deployment is seamless, whether you prefer the discreet hidden flipper tab—mirroring Princeton’s custom—or the dual thumbstuds. Once in motion, the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot ensures glassy-smooth action every time. A G10 handle paired with a stainless steel bolster creates a confident, ergonomic grip that feels as refined as it looks.
