Columbia River LCK + 3.24" Folding Tanto Plain Black Oxide 8Cr13MoV SS Black GRN Knife

The Columbia River LCK + (pronounced "lock plus") is a streamlined assisted-opening folding knife designed by Matthew Lerch as a no-nonsense everyday-carry cutter. It pairs a 3.24" tanto blade with a compact, ergonomic build for utility work, box cuts, and general outdoor use.

The blade is ground from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and coated in a low-reflectivity black oxide finish that helps disguise scratches during hard use. A plain edge profile delivers clean slicing cuts, while the tanto geometry reinforces the tip for piercing tasks. Assisted opening snaps the blade out via a thumb flipper, and a liner lock keeps it solidly open under load.

The handle uses glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) scales over stainless steel liners for a light, weather-tolerant grip that holds up to daily pocket carry. At just 2.5 oz and 7.375" overall open, the LCK+ rides light and disappears until you need it. A deep-carry pocket clip is included for tip-up everyday carry.
