CRKT Stubby Pocket Razel - 2011
When Jon Graham of Graham Knives in Cleveland, Tennessee, developed the custom Graham Razel in 2001, most knife blades came to a single point. Not the Razel. It's a cross between a chisel and a razor with a knife handle. The result gives two useful Razor-Sharp edges, one for pushing or tapping, and the other for precise cutting. You also get two strong blade points. The Jon Graham has been very successful with their custom versions in a variety of sizes and styles.
The CRKT production Razel models follow the Graham concept faithfully, with very thick full-tang blades of premium 9Cr18MoV (similar to 440C) stainless steel in a brushed finish, hand-contoured Micarta handles, and custom-fitted Kydex sheaths.
How are mechanics, carpenters, farmers, and home craftsmen using their Razel models? The Grahams report: Scraping gaskets, removing paint and stickers. Chiseling to make reliefs, mortises and tenons. Prying tight-fitting parts. Cutting things like paracord, wire insulation, radiator hose, plastic ties and tubing. Taper reaming a hole with the twist of the wrist. Reaching into tight spaces and push cutting with the chisel edge. Opening feed bags and cutting through bales of hay. You name it, the Razel does it.
CRKT's Stubby Pocket Razel has cutting edges of 1.0" and 2.15". The comfortable contoured Micarta handle makes this a tool you can use for hours. There is a flat at the end of the handle for tapping, and friction grooves at the blade spine for the thumb. It's an ideal everyday carry for the craftsman.
It's an extremely high-quality work tool, built to custom standards, and unique in the knife and tool world. And just about every serious craftsman CRKT shows them to, wants one immediately.
In-pocket sheaths. Jon Graham designed the Kydex sheath which comes with the Stubby Pocket Razel for right-hand in-pocket carry.

Designer: Jon Graham
 Jon Graham of Cleveland, Tennessee, was born to a father who had an appreciation for knives, and at a young age he was taught the importance of a good knife. "At the age of seven I got my first knife, and haven't been without one since." In the late '80s while stationed at Aviaono AB Italy, Jon discovered handmade knives in a magazine and knew that was something he wanted to do. After getting out of the Air Force and settling into a job, Jon started making kit knives on a table with basic tools in 1994. Tired of making other people's designs, in 1999 Jon asked his brother Josh to go in on some equipment and learn how to make knives by stock removal. He has been hooked ever since, and constantly strives to improve his designs and skills, building on his experience as a diesel technician. Graham Knives specializes in utility tactical designs with an emphasis on E.D.C. fixed blade pocket knives, but his favorite knife line is the custom Razel with dual edges, which the company makes in many sizes and styles. He is designer of the CRKT Razel and Folding Razel.
