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.

If you order the Chris Reeves Umnumzaan tactical folding knife from KnifeArt, you will enjoy free shipping on a U.S. order. We will also process and ship your order within one business day, so you can receive your new knife as quickly as possible.

This knife feels great. Thick enough to never worry about the tip breaking, but still very pocketable and slicey.

I have 3 Chris Reeve knives. They were all purchased right here at knife art. These guys know how to maintain a supply chain of hard to get knives, and then they make it possible to obtain them by releasing the email notifications at different times of the day. Knife art also ships immediately! They do not sit on your purchases. I only wish they carried other hard to get knives. I feel my chances would be better with their ability to acquire inventory.

5  Chris Reeve Umnumzzan S45VN from KnifeArt.com, February 18, 2022Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Folding Knife S45VN
Posted By: Sam - verified customer

I was very happy to have the opportunity to buy a Chris Reeve Umnumzaan S45VN early this month from the Knife Art?s website. It?s such a beauty, and I have been carrying/enjoying it since received it in the mail. It?s different than all of my other CR folders that I also like very much.
I purchased several knives from KnifeArt in the last several years. The customer service has been fantastic. Larry always responses promptly either through emails or phone calls whenever I have a question or a request.
Thank you, Larry and Rodney!

5  Wow, November 1, 2021Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Folding Knife S45VN
Posted By: Seamus O'Reilly - verified customer

This knife did not appeal to me for the longest time, then something just clicked, and its visuals just spoke to me - I found it beautiful. Construction is on par with my Sebenza 21, flawless.

The knife was really stiff out the box, common with Chris Reeve. I played with it, lubed, played with it, lubed - now buttery smooth. It takes a while for the washers to polish the stone wash of the blade, so for anyone worried about initial grittiness, it?s temporary.

Opening is markedly different to a Seb, got me some ?umnumbthumb? before she played ball - a right of passage with this model.

The s45n is a dream, glad I waited for it, and the team at KnifeArt was a pleasure to deal with.

Got my grail, couldn?t be happier with it.

Great service as always. I like using the false edge to open boxes to avoid adhesive buildup on the blade edge.

Posted By: Anthony - verified customer

I?ve always been a Benchmade guy. I thought Benchmade was the best! I mean $180 for a pocket knife? That?s ridiculous! Then I fell in love with the look of the Umnumzaan and I had to have it. It looks amazing, it feels amazing, and it?s ridiculously sharp. It makes all my Benchmades feel like garbage. You won?t be disappointed with CRK.

5  Refined tactical folder, March 14, 2016Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tactical Folding Knife
Posted By: Benjamin Duncan - verified customer

In spite of the gentlemanly Chris Reeve style to the Zaan, it's a workhorse. It's a solid knife that can take a beating and still look good doing it. Deployment is, like every experience I've had with a CRK knife, buttery smooth with that solid "click" on lockup. Little refinements like the flange on the lockbar add some character and refinement to separate it from a Large 21/25. Fantastic knife.

5  Excellent Everyday Use with Defensive Capacity, March 4, 2016Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tactical Folding Knife
Posted By: Charlie Gaes - verified customer

I am extremely impressed with this knife. The quality in both design and build/execution is superb. The blade locks open securely and strongly. I can open the blade with either hand with the thumb assist. I am extremely hard on equipment, and this one seems to be one of the best folding knives I have ever had. The knife, although apparently heavy at 8oz, is an easy carry, and the pocket clip is strong and secure, with two points of tension instead of just one. I usually like the lines of a knife, but this knife is a total piece of art.

This is my first Chris Reeves knife and I was looking forward to receiving and examining the knife. It is a very well made, high quality folding knife. I have several Microtech knives, one folding knife and a OTF Scarab. It took me a while to figure out the method used to open the blade one handed. After I figured it out it works quite well. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

5  Great knife (and awesome customer service), July 5, 2014Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Tactical Folding Knife
Posted By: Kris

I got the Umnumzaan as a birthday present for my father. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Knife Art for processing my order so quickly and shipping it all the way to the Philippines.

After a delay of a few days (no fault of yours, things just move really slow over here), I finally got to unbox the Umnumzaan and couldn't resist trying it out. Now I know what all the fuss is about, it's really a work of art - now I want one for myself too!

I am very satisfied with this purchase and the awesome customer service. I'm a very happy customer and I'm pretty sure I'll be back to purchase more items in the future. Thanks!

Posted By: Vinn

I love the Chris Reeve Umnumzaan.

It is a work of art. The moment I held it in my hand, I could feel the quality and years of experience that has gone into the design and craftsmanship of this knife.

To me, Chris Reeve knives are minimalistic works of art. If something doesn't have to be on the knife, it won't be there. Lesser pieces involved means easier, quicker maintenance you can perform on your own knife. Everything on this knife is honed down to a precision size. The scales are as slim and as small as the need to be to contain the blade when it is folded, yet maintaining maximum comfort and grip in your hand.

Bonus point! CRK has also improved the new packaging that this blade has come in, which includes a complimentary tube of Fluorinated Grease and Loctite. Win!
