Hello!
Just got me a KFF by CRK&T, thought i share a few opinion with fellow knife addicts
Overall impression:
Impressed, looks good, feels good. Don't really like zytel as handle material but this setup looks really good, doesn't look as cheap as some tend to do.
Quite a large folder, which i like!
Feels VERY sturdy and solid. Gives confidence when held.
Handle:
The scales are very well fitted, just some small tendencies to not line up with the steel liners, hardly noticeable unless you're really looking. (which i'm doing right now)
Clip is pointdown and fells very sturdy, dark grey in color, very lowprofile and let's the knife ride low in pocket, actually it would be impossible to fit the clip higher up on the handle, good!
The scales is attached by torx screws that are silver colored, i'd prefer black screws, but that's just being picky!
There's a lanyard hole present which is nicely chamfered and positioned at the back of the handle.
No sharp edges on the handle, feels VERY solid and comfortable, you will not lose this grip! Appearently there has been a lot of thought in designing this, nice!
At the thumb rest there's cuts to add thumb traction, nicely done, there's the LAWKS safety too which will be discussed later.
Opening the blade:
Your thumb sildes easily on to the opening stud, it's nicely guided via the shape of the handle, you will not lose grip on this one, very fast, again very good design.
Thumstuds are ambidextrous by the way, like that, if not just because it looks symmetrical and good.
Liner lock snaps in nicely and sits just where i want it, at the beginning to the left, and that's looking at the edge.
Now there's the LAWKS safety that is deployed via a thumbstud on top of the knife, i was very sceptical concerning this before i got the knife, not so anymore, it rocks! easy to engage, could say it's automatic when you grip the knife as it's going to be used, and very easy to disengage, no problems with this one, absolutely the best i've ever seen of it's kind, impressive!
Oh, the liner lock is serrated/grooved to ease in disengagement, easy and no hassle to do.
The blade:
Large and wide, very good looking, beadblasted finish, sharp enough to shave my arm, niceely executed grind lines, very even on the whole cutting surface, impressive to say the least.
On the left side (edge down) it's marked Crawford Kasper, and right side is 6773 Taiwan, discret and soberly done, nothing that sticks in your eye.
Most probably i've repeated my self but i'm really impressed by this one, especially for the price, hey! this knife is cheap even in Sweden! (that says a lot of the price...)
I haven't cut anything or tried some drills or anything, this is just initial impressions.
To put it short, get one! or what the heck, get a few and give to friends and relatives and what else.
Hope it was informative, i'm outta here to play with my KFF...
Be well!/Jonas aka 2Sharp
