Description

You won’t know where the blade ends and your hand begins. This tactically- inspired everyday carry urban tactical knife proves that form follows function with swept finger grooves, a formidable blade, and the Assisted Opening innovation. Whatever the need, you’re good to go through anything with this bad boy of a blade. Ken Onion of Kaneohe, HI designed the Foresight. This one is just another example of Ken’s tight mechanics and comfortable form in a blade that’s ready for your urban law enforcement and professional tactical needs. The 3.5-inch modified drop-point blade has a generous belly and re- curve cutting edge. It absolutely rips through anything that comes its way. Yet it opens like a well-oiled cutting machine thanks to the Assisted Opening innovation coupled with the IKBS ball bearing pivot system. What truly sets this blade apart though is how it feels when you hold it. The glass-reinforced nylon handle of the Foresight is purposefully styled and shaped with swept finger grooves and proper palm swell to provide a confident, comfortable grip no matter what the use. You’d swear the designer made a mold out of your own bare hand. Hindsight may be 20/20, but with the Foresight you’ll show you can plan ahead when it comes to the right tools. How Assisted Opening Works It's held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part way through the rotation the blade swings open at impressive speed for simple, powerful, one-handed opening.

  • This thing is half grizzly bear and half real sweetheart
Even if they were the same price, I'd select the Foresight over my ZT 0300. It is extremely comfortable and stunningly rugged: flip the flipper on this thing and out comes a that slab of heavy steel; flip it with just the slightest wrist twitch and it slams out and you'd better be hanging on tight. It makes you think of those silly Duluth Trading cartoon commercials -- only this isn't a cartoon. The knife is beautifully made, and my example -- bought at discount from the Amazon returns outlet -- is perfectly centered and oh, so smooth in operation. It is a big knife -- physically almost as big as the ZT 0300/0301 and virtually identical in size to the excellent, comparable, but twice as expensive ZT 0200, the serious knife by which all others must be measured. The Foresight is a couple ounces lighter. The blade is obviously a Ken Onion design, but he didn't get carried away. There's more of a point than there is on the ZTs, which makes it more useful, I think. The materials are not especially exotic -- aluminum and AUS8 instead of G10 and 154CM, titanium and S30V -- but entirely satisfactory, and the ball bearing pivot is plenty exotic all by itself. (There has been concern about grit getting into the pivot, which would be more of a problem than it is in other knives because while disassembly of the Foresight is easy, reassembly is nontrivial.) In part because of the pivot system, the aluminum frame has steel inserts on both sides -- aluminum would wear too quickly under the ball bearings -- and on the lock side the steel extends to be a kind of liner lock. The stop pin is captive, which is to say it is in a slot cut in the blade, rather than being external of the blade; this is certainly a weaker system than an external pin would be, but as with the worry about pivot contamination this has thusfar apparently been theoretical. It is certainly only theoretical here. The knife works smoothly and locks up so solidly that it feels like a good fixed blade. It is less easy to close than a framelock, and the detent ball is robust enough that it will catch the edge of the flipper and make it feel almost stuck -- take a little care in closing this knife until you've figured it out. Mastering one-handed closing takes longer than it does on most other flipper knives. The Foresight is not an assisted knife. I love assisted knives, but I'm also a student of the fabled Murphy and therefore know that it is at that moment when your very life depends on a knife opening -- that's when the assist mechanism will fail. This knife doesn't need any more assistance than the flick of the wrist, and usually not even that. The sheer mass of that hunk of steel puts inertia to work happily. Two things require some getting used to. One is the jumping on the flipper, which is SHARP. I'm not sure the sometimes painful jimping is necessary; I'd prefer 1/16-inch more flipper instead. And the lock release, on the example I got, is just the tiniest bit sticky, which is not a big issue most of the time, but can be a problem when one's hands are wet or cold. It really is an extraordinarily good knife for those who aren't looking for a genttlemen's vest-pocket blade. If they made exactly the same shape and blade thickness, and the same aluminum handle, in a fixed blade, I'd get one. And isn't that the real measure of a large folder? ... show more

  • THE FORESIGHT IS A GREAT EDC FOLDING KNIFE
THE FORESIGHT IS A GREAT EDC FOLDING KNIFE. I've been a knife collector for a long time and have seen a lot of good blades. I wish I bought this sooner. IMO, I've experienced no CONS with this CRKT model. Slick surface provides no grip, but the knife's ergonomic design makes up for that. The IKBS makes the "need" for a thumb stud obsolete and the liner lock release is just right. I've always felt most clips on folders were unnecessarily too long, so for me this feature is a welcome change. This model requires some time getting adjusted to. If you position your finger in just the right manner, the flipper functions like a well oiled tool. It can be just as quick releasing as a spring assisted design. Likewise, if you position your finger in just the right way on the liner lock release - again, no problems there as well. Play with this pup a bit - it's different and as such needs you to be patient with it. Innovative new designs always have unnoticeable nuances and because of that, have a bit of a learning curve that you need to get past before it works properly for you. Gravity and inertia have a lot to do with how well this knife performs for you. If you're looking for a solid, sturdy and dependable multipurpose folding knife that comes with a very well balanced AUS8 blade. . . Look no further! For it's price point, you won't find a better knife - much higher value for the money. This one's about as perfect as it'll get - until Ken Onion comes up with another mind blowing innovation in the knife industry. In the past, I've only bought one of any production knife, but I learned a hard lesson. My last favorite production folder eventually ended getting lost after it was discontinued - that's not happening with my Foresight. With enough foresight on this pup this time, I'm getting another one or two soon if in case I end up losing my first one, LOL. PS: I saw a review that said because the Foresight was manufactured in Taiwan, the buyer was going to return it to Amazon. What a bad decision! This knife was very well designed and the manufacturing is very well executed. Asia is getting much better in their production practices. If you only want to buy American, fine. If you don't want things made in Asia just because it's made in Asia, fine - but I have news for you. IMO, about 80% of the products we use daily are made in Asia and in my experience some US made stuff have a lot to be desired nowadays. Now, realistically, if you really want quality US products, be prepared to pay a premium price. A custom piece like this would probably run you about $700 - $1000. I know, because I have a couple of custom knife maker friends and Ken Onion is one that I've been good friends with for about 25 years now. I'm just saying. . . try it before you knock it. I highly recommend this folder. ... show more
