convenient opening, Liner Lock mechanism
The blade features a double-sided thumb stud, enabling swift and easy deployment with either hand.

The flipper also provides added finger protection once the knife is open. A reliable Liner Lock mechanism locks the blade in place during use, further reinforced by the AutoLAWKS system, which engages automatically.

Very well-made tool, fits well in the hand, no problem maintaining the edge or resharpening. The double blade lock works well, it's a knife worth recommending.

A very good knife, a real workhorse—I use it on construction for whittling wood, cutting wool, instead of a paw, hammer, or reamer. It's a matter of taste, but after the first day, I removed the extra lock—it was unnecessary for me, the main lock is perfect. The quality of the blade coating is low—practically just paint, which was removed with a grinder.

Excellent quality knife, every part is precisely designed and made. It looks good in the pictures, but even better in real life. Everything fits perfectly, the factory sharpening is just right and ready for work out of the box. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!

The knife fits well in the hand, very comfortable even when wearing gloves, a nice addition is the two-stage blade lock. Besides, the knife looks great. I recommend it!

Great knife for a large hand. Although I prefer fixed blades, it's not always practical to carry a tool that tends to stick out of your pants, for example at work... ;P However, even though this is a folder, it's still a FOLDER!!! :) Once unfolded, it's ready to slice a tomato, sharpen a pencil, or even baton wooden blocks of appropriate thickness in a pinch. Mega beast!!!

The knife sits securely in the hand, the workmanship is a big plus. Unfortunately, it arrived unsharpened. The two locks are a plus, but you have to get used to them.

Worthy piece... a solid knife, strong construction, nice handle design—intended to ease animal processing. Truly a big piece of good craftsmanship shaped into a knife.. I like it ;)

I'm a fan of CRKT and have had more than one. But this particular knife captivated me with its beauty. It's just beautiful in its black appearance, and not tanto ;) Large, fairly heavy blade gives hope that this folder will perform well in the forest as a substitute for larger fixed-blade knives. The mechanics work super smoothly.

Very nice knife. Large—almost a 10 cm blade. At first, it opened stiffly but after a few days with a drop of oil it moves smoothly. I'm not a fan of two-stage safeties but I'll get used to it—it's not a flaw, just a matter of taste. Personally, I've never had a linerlock fail in any strange way. I rate this folder very positively, I missed having a knife with a large blade.

Great heavy folder. Really a solid piece of knife. Opens very well and the double lock does the job. The carrying clip holds very well.
