Product Description
The CRKT Hi Jinx Z folding knife designed by Ken Onion is an all-purpose workhorse. It features a 3.25-inch satin-finished blade made from 1.4116 stainless steel, which is known for being corrosion resistant Read More
I have one of the original limited edition Titanium Hi Jinx that won Blade of the Year at the Blade Show some years back. It is a great looking knife, and the bearings are very smooth. It's bigger in person than I expected - robust construction, and a relatively thick blade for a flipper. Not sure how this version compares since it has a different lock, frame, and blade materials, but it's a great addition to the collection.
I will say this, though: the pocket clip on the original comes more to a point, and it loves to get caught on your pants when trying to clip it - the Z's clip looks like it'd be much more friendly. Makes me want to see if there are any aftermarket options available that I could swap out!
Either way... Gotta love Ken Onion!
Cheers.

Googled it and it seems 1.4116 is or is similar to 5Cr15MoV, HRC 55-57
Oh.LeeverYeah....4116 kind of sucks for a blade steel. This version is basically the cheap ass version of their award winning $400 design from a few years back. Too bad they didn't turn it into a $100 design and keep the good blade in it.
