Chris Reeves UMN-1002-S45VN umnumzaan plain tanto
Chris Reeve Knives was founded in January 1984, with Chris Reeve making custom knives in the single garage connected to the house in which Reeve was living in Durban, South Africa. Later, He moved to the USA, expanded his business, and now headquarters in Boise, Idaho.
Moreover, the company designs, manufactures, and sells folding pocket knives and fixed-blade knives. Chris Reeve Knives has made extensive contributions to the knife world, including the industry-standard Reeve Integral Lock™ (known as “frame-lock”). The Company worked closely with Crucible Industries and played an essential role in generating CPM S30V, S35VN, and S45VN; powdered blade steels formed especially for edge-retention toughness and corrosion resistance.
Description OF Chris Reeves UMN-1002-S45VN umnumzaan plain tanto
Umnumzaan means “The Boss” in Zulu and in every sense of the definition, it’s a knife deserving of respect.
It features modifications to the Reeve Integral Lock, more blade strength, pivot, and lock tolerances as well as overall ergonomics.
The hollow-ground blade is heat-treated to maintain flexibility and edge retention and features a glass-breaker while closed.
This bold, innovative folding knife is one to be reckoned with for its inventive design features and ability to get the job done.
Who said fixed blade strength can’t fit in your pocket?
This model has a dedicated right-handed orientation with a tanto grind blade.
