Product Description
CRKT Viento Razor (CR7135) 3.23" D2 Satin Sheepsfoot Plain Blade, Black G-10 with Stainless Steel Bolsters Handle
The plains of New Mexico, renowned for their high winds, provide a unique canvas of natural beauty. These winds, while fierce, often leave behind breathtaking scenes of flowing grass patterns. This mesmerizing dance of nature has inspired Richard Rogers, a state designer from New Mexico, in his creation of the Viento knife. Named after the Spanish word for "wind," the Viento embodies elegance and function through its design and craftsmanship.
Design Inspired by Nature
The Viento showcases a stunning D2-steel sheepsfoot blade, its swooping curve reminiscent of the wind-swept grasses of the plains. Complementing the blade is a curved G10 handle, designed to flow seamlessly with the blade's form while providing an ergonomic grip. The knife's design ensures that whether open or closed, the Viento exudes a sense of movement and grace.
