We began with our powerful InterFrame locking liner construction in an easily cleaned open build, with nickel chrome plated zinc alloy scales featuring an aircraft-style drilled “skeleton” design. Weight is reduced without compromising the exceptional strength. The dual liners are 420J2 stainless steel. Handles are designed with an extended guard, generous size and bead-blast finish to give you extra gripping power. Friction grooves at the lock and on the blade spine improve grip in wet and icy conditions.

The high-carbon, 420J2 stainless steel blades feature a rugged modified drop point shape and bead-blast finish. Blade grinds are engineered to retain maximum thickness at the tip and through the length of the spine. This blade is built for real work. Triple-Point™ Serrations are available on all sizes.

Integrated into the design is the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade— very reassuring when you are using your knife for difficult and tiring tasks.

The Mt. Whitney and Denali feature hefty 3.50” blades. The Long’s Peak and Mt. Rainier offer 2.875” blades, while the Pike’s Peak and Mt. Shasta are more pocketable models with 2.375” blades.

Double-grooved ambidextrous thumb studs allow you to comfortably open or close the blade with a single, smooth, one-handed motion, aided by the Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot which guarantee continued smoothness.

All fasteners are Torx® , proven superior in initial assembly and owner maintenance, such as tightening the pivot screw for proper blade tension after years of heavy, sustained work loads.

The convenient stainless steel clothing/gear clip is Teflon plated and easily removable, attached with three Torx fasteners.

In designing this series, we set out to reach the summit of tough, strong folding knives. It’s all about excellence and achievement. If you’re comparing all-alloy, multipurpose knives, we’ve set the standard. We trust you’ll agree.

After making and rigorously testing a custom version and proving how well the concept worked, Russ granted CRKT the exclusive rights for the production models.

The Razor-Sharp 420J2 stainless steel blade features Russ’s high hollow grind on the top of the blade, which creates an air pocket to lift and “float” fillets off, while the flat taper ground side glides smoothly across the skin. Triple-Point™ Serrations help you cut through gristle, bones and fins.

The unique Twin-Fused™ handle is a rigid, high-impact polypropylene core wrapped with a soft, comfortable checkered Kraton® grip for a firm, safe hold. Its streamlined sheath is injection-molded for long wear and stylish utility.

The polypropylene lanyard adds extra convenience. Kommer’s Big Eddy adds special ease and speed of filleting to the quality of the world’s finest filleting knives—all at a remarkable price.

Ensign Aaron Frederick, who is now on active duty in the U.S. Navy, found time to present his designs for a new folder, and we recognized it was the perfect Basic Utility Locking Liner (B.U.L.L.™) for CRKT. It’s just the right size, with no frills, the essence of a classic utility sport and work knife.

Aaron’s design has everything we like in a multi-purpose knife: a strong modified recurve drop point blade grind, an ergonomic handle with finger choil, thumb ramp, butt swell and ample friction grooves.

Over the years we’ve refined our InterFrame open build. We believe it is the most rigid and rugged available in a popular-priced work knife. We use two 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, and injection-molded Zytel® scales, assembled with stainless steel back spacers and Torx® fasteners. Grip is improved by textured scale panels and castellations on the spine and at the butt.

The high-carbon steel blade in a high satin finish features a belly and recurve for excellent slicing and carving ability, plus a top grind that aids penetration. Models are available with Razor-Sharp or Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges. At 3” long, the B.U.L.L.’s blade is large and versatile enough to tackle all those daily work tasks.

There are two ways to open the B.U.L.L.’s blade with one hand, both ambidextrous: by the thumb disk, or by a flick of the serrated extended blade tang. Closing is also an easy one-hand action, thanks to Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot.

Finally, the B.U.L.L. comes with a removable satin-finished stainless steel pocket/gear clip, just like more expensive knives.

In other words, the B.U.L.L. has the features you’d expect in a knife selling for two or three times as much. It’s built like a bull, strong as an ox, and it’s yours, for well, chickenfeed.

Our Alaska Bwana™ is the folding skinner Russ designed and made for himself, translated into CRKT production models. He won’t embellish a knife if it doesn’t improve the function, so the knife includes only the features Russ wanted for himself in a clean, purposeful design.

This is a supremely comfortable knife to grip, with a curved handle and finger scallops which make it feel like shaking hands with an old friend. There are no sharp angles or pressure points to cause fatigue.

It is also comfortable to carry, thanks to a flat profile and through-drilled lightening holes. The custom stainless steel clothing/gear clip is removable, partly because Russ prefers pocket carry, and doesn’t use one.

The full-bellied skinning blade features a high, hollow grind. Blade material is tough AUS 4 stainless steel in a bright satin finish. Friction grooves at the top of the blade and near the tip increase the feel and control in slippery skinning conditions.

We’ve incorporated the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively converts the knife into a fixed blade when actuated with a push of the thumb, a comforting thing to know when you are working under adverse conditions.

Our strong InterFrame build is ideal for this knife, with dual stainless steel 420J2 liners, one locking, and black textured injection-molded Zytel® scales. Add a Zytel back spacer and Torx® fasteners and you have exceptional rigidity.

It is also easy to clean and maintain. The open build eliminates hidden nooks and crannies. The Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot make opening and closing smooth and fluid, and are fully adjustable for wear.

And for the hunter who appreciates value, we’ve priced the Alaska Bwana to be your best bang for the buck.

Construction is an extremely heavy-duty build, with the thickest stainless steel liners we have ever used. The result is an authoritative feel with perfect balance at the deep index finger choil.

The handle shape is classic Kasper profile, ample without being cumbersome. The textured black Zytel® scales are flat with no swell so the knife won’t print in the pocket, and to make drawing smoother. The thumb scallop on the left scale acts as an index point for the initial grip and draw, is also a ramp leading down to the thumb stud, and helps the index finger secure a more positive grip. The thumb ramp has aggressive friction grooves to ensure thumb purchase under slippery conditions.

The blade is a stout, modified clip point of 420J2 stainless steel, double hollow ground and bead-blast finished to cut reflectivity. Both Razor-Sharp and Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated blades are available. The thumb ramp features double thumb studs for ambidextrous use.

Construction is our industry-leading InterFrame build: 420J2 double stainless steel liners, 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacer, Torx® fasteners and Teflon® bearings for buttery-smooth opening and closing.

The gray Teflon® custom-plated clothing/gear clip is mounted on the leading edge of the handle, resulting in a low-in-the-pocket storage.

In this rough world, there is no better friend to take along than the CRKT Crawford/Kasper™ folder.

Click Picture to Enlarge	Item Name: Convergence Item Number: CTS-CONVERG06 Price:
Product Description:	This knife is the convergence of three great ideas, resulting in one of the sleekest and most unusual locking liner folders ever. The shape is one that is gaining acclaim for award-winning custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Aaron Frederick of West Liberty, Kentucky. It is a remarkably simple classic profile, which is not marred by thumb studs or nail nicks. To open, just press and pull the blade end with the thumb or index finger, and the blade instantly pivots out and locks open. Then we took the first opportunity to incorporate the patented* RealEase™ lock release system invented by custom knifemaker Charles Kain of Indianapolis, Indiana, Steve McCowen of Iola, Wisconsin, and Ric Chopra of Atlanta, Georgia. When pressed down and back with the thumb, this CNC-machined button wedges the locking liner open. Just apply a little pressure with your right or left index finger and you have slick one-hand closing. It makes releasing the liner lock a real ease. The result is a truly ambidextrous locking liner folder. Finally, for maximum safety, we added the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which converts folders to virtual fixed blades when actuated with a flick of the thumb. The Convergence uses our very rigid InterFrame build, assembled with stainless steel spacers, Torx® fasteners, and 420J2 stainless steel liners. The injection-molded black Zytel® scales receive our hex pattern Operator’s Grip, which gives this knife great feel, purchase and utility for hundreds of daily work tasks. The satin finished AUS 4 stainless steel blades are ground in a modified drop point design with a subtle false top edge. They are available with Razor-Sharp or Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges. Like all CRKT locking liner folders, the Convergence features Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot for smooth action. The black Teflon®-plated clothing/gear clip is useful, and quickly removable if you want to pocket carry or just admire the knife’s unadorned lines. They say success has many fathers. In this case, the Convergence has six fathers: Frederick, Kain, McCowen, Chopra, Lake, and Walker, which we believe is sure to guarantee its success.

Click Picture to Enlarge	Item Name: Edgie Item Number: CTS-EDGIE06 Price:
Product Description:	Since the dawn of human history, man has dreamed of a knife that would sharpen itself during normal use. Here it is, the patented* brainchild of inventor Maj. Howard Pope (USAR Ret.), who collaborated with custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Steve Jernigan. Steve created a practical and affordable prototype, which was the basis for our new folder. We call it the Edgie™ because it hones its edge every time it is opened or closed. This first CRKT Edgie model was designed to be a simple, affordable utility knife with broad appeal. The secret is a 400 grit diamond-coated spring sharpener built into the folder frame. (Why didn’t I think of that?) It is placed at the precise angle to give the Edgie’s Wharncliffe blade a sharpening stroke as it is closed, and again as it is opened. Not only do you never need to sharpen the Edgie with stones or wheel, but you should not, because it may alter the Edgie’s proper self-sharpening edge angle. Of course, it is important during a long cutting work session to periodically open and close the blade to maintain the edge. The high-carbon stainless steel blade in satin finish features a strong full-width spine for most of its length, dual hollow grinds, and the single cutting edge. Because the internal diamond sharpening strip works on this one edge only, a tiny burr forms, which actually helps cutting action, acting as a microserration. This makes the Edgie tops for cutting cardboard boxes, rope, cord and even ripe tomatoes. For strength and long life, we’ve used our InterFrame build, with two stainless steel liners and stainless steel back spring, all in satin finsh. The injection-molded Zytel® scales have castellations at the spine and a checkered inset pattern to enhance grip. Finally, a removable stainless steel clip in satin finish makes this a most versatile work knife, ready to clip inside pockets, on belts or webbing, on tool belts, or on sports gear. The Edgie is covered by CRKT’s limited lifetime warranty for defects in materials or workmanship. Damage due to abuse, tip breakage, and normal wear to finishes and coatings is excluded.

Click Picture to Enlarge	Item Name: First Strike Item Number: CTS-FIRSTRIKE06 Price:
Product Description:	Japanese swordsmithing dates back to 645 A.D. and has a proud craft tradition. Several years ago, we were asked to create a production fixed blade following these design traditions for ceremonial and martial arts use. The result was the First Strike™ 2705, which has proven very popular. We had immediate requests for larger and smaller versions, so we introduced the 2706 with a 5.50” blade and the 2703 with a 3.125” blade. The First Strike quickly developed a following among military and special services operators, so we also offer a military OD version of the 2705, with non-reflective black EDP blade and Olive Drab cord wrap. These are unique knifes in the CRKT catalog, including their blade grinds, edges, and hand-wrapped handles. They are knives different in almost every way from familiar Western knives. The blades are 440A stainless steel in a satin finish. The blade shape is a combination of the ancient chokuto straight sword and the classic mohora-zukuri double edge tanto. The grind is a convex zero edge, or appleseed cross section, resulting in an edge that is much stronger than taper or hollow grinds. The massive blade thickness continues through the tapered full-tang, resulting in incredible strength from tip to butt. The striking handles are a traditional Japanese cord wrap, resin impregnated, with black ray skin underlays. Combined with the pommel, they provide an amazing level of grip. We have designed a series of custom injection-molded Zytel® sheaths for the First Strikes. They firmly grip the knives, left or right, and have removable belt clips plus multiple slots and holes allowing almost infinite carry options on belts, clothing or gear. Despite their ceremonial and martial arts origins, these are heavy-duty knives with great everyday utility.
