The Chris Reeve Umnumzaan tactical folding knife, nicknamed the Zaan, is ideal for hunters, service members, and outdoorsmen. In Zulu, the word umnumzaan means 'the boss'.

This handy knife has a drop point blade shape with hollow grinds that are razor-sharp. Often times the drop point umnumzaan is referred to as the regular or standard blade shape. While closed, the knife is 4.77 inches long. The blade itself measures 3.675 inches and is made out of stonewashed stainless MagnaCut steel. On the Rockwell hardness scale, the steel used in this knife is an HRC 63-64. This American-made steel has superior edge retention and is tough as well, resulting in fewer instances of chipping. The top of the blade spine has a thumb rest with machined jimping that provides the user with a solid grip.

The Umnumzaan folding knife has high pivot strength and features the new pivot design. The knife has a lock bar stabilizer mechanism, with the CRK logo machined on the face, that prevents over-extension of the frame lock bar. The knife also features a ceramic lock bar interface for increased lock life over a standard titanium frame lock. The ceramic ball is much harder than titanium and allows for much less wear and lock movement over a lifetime of use. The ceramic ball also serves as a detent mechanism to keep the knife in a closed position. It's a solid mechanism that increases the safety and lifetime of carrying this knife. The frame lock bar is finished nicely with a machined groove that allows for increased purchase on the lock bar when closing with your thumb.

The handle of the CRK umnumzaan is made out of aerospace-grade titanium, which is a lightweight material. In comparison to other knives of a similar size, this innovative knife is an extremely reasonable weight, weighing in at 5 oz. When closed the knife has an extension of the blade that functions as a glass breaker.

With permission, Chris Reeve designed this tactical folding knife utilizing Grant and Gavin Hawk's shock absorber. The shock absorber helps extend the knife's life as well as making it more comfortable to use.

Another reason the Chris Reeve Umnumzaan tactical folding knife lasts longer is it has perforated phosphor bronze washers that decrease friction and hold onto lubrication longer. The knife has a new style pivot that makes the knife extremely strong under torsional tension. The knife is completed with a black cord lanyard attached to a rear spacer on the knife.
