The CRKT 2075 Shrill delivers precision cutting performance with its distinctive dual-edge design and advanced TiN coating. This fixed blade tactical knife combines 8Cr13MoV stainless steel construction with specialized surface treatments for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The gray titanium nitride (TiN) coating sets the Shrill apart from standard tactical knives by providing superior hardness and reduced friction during cutting tasks. The dual-edge configuration offers versatility that single-edge designs cannot match, while the 4.77-inch blade length provides optimal balance between control and cutting capacity. The resin fiber overlay handle construction delivers grip security in wet conditions where polymer handles might slip.
Key Features
- 4.77-inch dual-edge blade with gray TiN coating for enhanced durability
- 8Cr13MoV stainless steel construction with 58-60 HRC hardness rating
- Black and gray stainless steel handle with resin fiber overlay
- Plain edge geometry optimized for clean cuts and piercing
- Includes custom-fitted sheath for secure carry and blade protection
- Fixed blade design eliminates mechanical failure points
- Full tang construction for maximum strength and reliability
Field testing shows the 8Cr13MoV steel maintains edge retention through extended use while remaining easy to resharpen when needed. The TiN coating reduces blade drag during cutting tasks and provides additional protection against environmental exposure. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the dual-edge capability for specialized applications, while outdoor professionals value the corrosion resistance in marine environments.
