Crkt Shenanigan Assist Blk 3.35" Ser

The CRKT Shenanigan Assist Blk 3.35" Ser is a compact assisted-opening folding knife designed for anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliability in harsh marine environments. Built by Columbia River Knife & Tool—a name trusted on the water for decades—this knife combines rapid blade deployment with corrosion-resistant construction, making it ideal for saltwater and freshwater applications where speed and durability are non-negotiable. Whether you're rigging tackle, cutting line, or managing deck work, the Shenanigan delivers the performance professionals expect from a purpose-built maritime blade.

This knife features a 3.35-inch drop-point blade forged from 1.4116 stainless steel with a stonewashed finish that resists corrosion and hides wear from salt spray and regular use. The assisted-opening mechanism, paired with IKBS (Isonite Knife Bearing System) technology, ensures smooth, consistent operation with minimal hand fatigue—critical when you're processing fish or performing repetitive cutting tasks throughout the day. The blade's Veff serrations provide aggressive grip on wet materials and slippery surfaces, giving you control even when conditions are less than ideal. A lightweight black glass-reinforced nylon handle offers excellent grip in wet conditions while remaining durable enough to withstand the punishment of a working boat environment.

Anglers and charter captains benefit most from the Shenanigan's quick-access design and serrated blade geometry, which excels at cutting fishing line, monofilament, and marine rope without slipping. The compact 3.35-inch blade length meets TSA standards for certain applications and fits easily into tackle boxes, pocket clips, or emergency kits without adding bulk to your gear. Weighing just 0.31 pounds, this knife stays out of your way while delivering the cutting power you need when seconds count. The stonewashed stainless steel construction stands up to repeated washdowns with freshwater and saltwater, making it a dependable investment for professional and recreational boaters alike.
