Yes, Inspired Design works.™
Introducing the Zilla-Tool™ and Zilla-Tool™ Jr.—
The monster tool and the little monster.
Here at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) we’re inspired by great design. Our I.D. Works™ products are not tools you will find anywhere else. We’re motivated by design that is both inspired and functional, as created 500 years ago by painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, who said “observe everything” in nature. We’ve partnered with the best and brightest designers of today who share this vision of putting functional art in your hand. They are organic and ergonomic shapes, sometimes whimsical, alway useful. These unique tools make up our growing I.D. Works™ line. Put them to use, enjoy them, and always remember what inspires you!
In 2007, we introduced the patented* Zilla-Tool™, designed by Launce Barber and Tom Stokes. We call it the monster tool, because it is a hefty, ergonomically designed work tool. The handle is 6.5 inches long, and it has a 3.0” knife blade. Weight is 7.4 ounces.
It features a pliers, knife with combination serrated cutting edge, wire cutter and stripper, flat and Phillips screwdriver hex bits, bottle opener, pocket clip and nylon sheath.
The pliers jaws are spring loaded, with a slight needle nose taper. They have both fine flat and circular toothed gripping surfaces. Near the base of the pliers is a very useful wire cutter, and there is also a notch near the handle for wire stripping. The pliers handle locks in place for carry, and is instantly released by the flip of a thumb button.
The user can store the two screwdriver hex bits in molded handle reliefs. They are easily stored and removed by a press of the thumb. The Zilla-Tool also accepts other standard hex bits.
The Zilla-Tool features a spear point high-carbon stainless steel blade with a Razor-Sharp and Combination Triple-Point™ Serrated edge. It is drilled to reduce weight. At 3.0” in length, it is large enough to handle serious cutting and carving tasks in daily sport and work situations.
To open the knife blade quickly, just press the little “flipper.” It also acts as a blade guard when it’s open. The Zilla’s locking liner allows easy one-hand closing
The custom stainless steel clip will hold the Zilla-Tool in your pocket or on gear. We have also provided a black nylon carry-pouch sheath, with a belt loop and snap closure, for those who prefer belt carry.
The Zilla-Tool can also open bottles and cans using the pliers jaws, or prying with the end of the pliers handle.
Two Zilla-Tool models are available. The standard model 9060 has a bead-blast finished blade, frame and pliers with black injection-molded scales. For those who prefer the tactical look, our model 9060K is black-on-black throughout.
