CRKT Clever Girl Kukri Knife
Medium-sized survival knife with Full Tang construction designed by 101st Airborne Division veteran Austin McGlaun. The blade is made of SK5 carbon steel. The ergonomics and durability of the handle are ensured by profiled scales made of G10 laminate.
Kukri blade profile, SK5 carbon steel
The use of a Kukri blade profile allowed for the transfer of the knife's center of gravity forward, making tasks such as cutting vines or chopping easier. An appropriately profiled cross guard protects the hand from slipping onto the blade. The applied SK5 carbon steel is characterized by very good edge retention. The blade is coated with a black matte finish protecting the knife from corrosion and reducing reflections.
G10 laminate handle
The handle is made of G10 laminate. An anti-slip texture has been applied to its surface, ensuring a secure grip on the knife. At the end of the handle, there is a hole allowing for the attachment of a securing cord, lanyard, or key ring.
durable sheath
The knife comes with a sheath made of thermoplastic material in black, allowing for carrying the tool on a belt, backpack, or other element of accouterment.

CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool) is an American brand of knives and tools, founded in 1994 by Paul Gillespie and Rod Bremer, former employees of Kershaw Knives. It gained worldwide fame with its K.I.S.S. model, presented at the SHOT Show in 1997 - it sold out instantly and tripled the company's production capacity. CRKT has earned a reputation as a brand that focuses on innovation, as evidenced by its proprietary Deadbolt, Field Strip, and Kinematic systems, as well as its patented Veff-Serrations. The company is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers such as Kit Carson, Ken Onion, and Liong Mah, resulting in knives with unique character and functionality. Among the most recognizable models are the M16, Minimalist, and Pilar, which have become icons in the world of EDC and tactical knives. Since its inception, CRKT has consistently promoted the motto “Confidence in Hand,” emphasizing that their knives are designed to provide the user not only with a tool, but above all with confidence in any situation.

SK-5 steel belongs to a series of Japanese tool steel (Steel Kuogu) with high carbon content and good wear resistance. It is equivalent to American 1080 steel and is also designated as SK-85. It contains about 0.8-0.9% carbon, which gives it high hardness and very good cutting properties. The addition of manganese (0.1-0.5%) improves hardenability, silicon (0.1-0.35%) increases elasticity and strength, and small amounts of chromium (about 0.3%) and copper (up to 0.025%) promote the steel's wear resistance and slow down degradation processes. The presence of nickel (up to 0.25%) further enhances strength, while low sulfur and phosphorus content reduces the material's brittleness. After quenching, SK-5 reaches a hardness of up to 63-65 HRC, and its martensitic structure with fine carbides provides a favorable combination of wear resistance and mechanical strength. Thanks to these properties, the steel is used in chisels, saws, springs, drills, and in utility and tactical knives.
