CRAWFORD/KASPER FOLDER
Bob Kasper, writer and knife use instructor, has a very clear vision of what
must go into an effective tactical work tool—and what must not Period. Working
with custom knife maker and Knifemakers’ Guild
member Pat Crawford to translate his ideas into a folder, the two came up with
the ultimate custom folding knife. We at CRKT have slavishly translated every
dimension and specification into a very affordable personal confidence builder.
In addition, we’ve added the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®) to
provide lock security under extreme use.
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 cumber some. 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 AUS 6M 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.
