The CRKT Obake Skoshi is a beautiful little EDC knife infused with Japanese-style design elements. At 5.3 inches long, this knife is compact but completely capable of taking on any of your everyday tasks.

Why choose this knife?

• Compact overall length (5.3 inches) allows for extremely easy carry
• Artful design including acid-etched blade, Katana-style nylon wrap, and faux ray-skin handle make this a true statement piece
• Sheath is constructed from strong glass-reinforced nylon and can be attached to belt for convenient transport
• Clip point blade shape is very sharp and controllable – perfect for everyday tasks

Why not?

• 8Cr13Mov steel requires more frequent sharpening
• Clip point blade shape is too narrow for extremely rough tasks

Pro Tip:

The clip point blade shape is an excellent all-purpose blade used for everyday tasks. They feature a large “belly” that is suitable for slicing tasks. The clip point is very controllable and is able to quickly stab with less drag during insertion and faster withdrawal. Since the clip point is so narrow at the tip though, it is not recommended for brute force tasks.
