I have this knife new in the box, never used for just $40.00 delivered withing the CONUS. Great knife, top of the line for CRKT. Almost identical to the custom version. Good luck. Paypal only please. Description:
Pat and Wes Crawford, custom knifemakers in West Memphis, Arkansas, have produced many successful folder designs for CRKT over the years, many with mid-level blade steels and Zytel® scales. Here's our new idea: let's make a Crawford folder series that is as close to a custom knife as possible, using premium blade steel and natural materials.
Logically, we decided to call it the Natural series. Available in two sizes, these are extremely heavy-duty frame-lock folders with our patented* lightning-fast OutBurst assisted opening.
The Natural 2 7080 is our smaller personal carry size with white bone scales and black G10 bolsters. It has a 3.25" blade, also of polished premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel.
The stainless steel liners are so thick that this qualifies as a frame-lock folder. The blade can only be called a "Crawford Marauder clip point," with a scalloped top edge and dual ramped Crawford-style thumb studs for opening. Just nudge either thumb stud outward approximately 30°, and the OutBurst mechanism springs the blade open with a satisfying "click."
The stainless steel back spacer receives file work like the finest customs. It also has a removable jeweled stainless steel pocket/gear clip. When it comes to grip, this folder has it all: a good-sized handle, butt pommel, two deep finger choils and thumb friction grooves on the spine.
So here's our bet: If you were walking through a custom knife show, and you picked up any of these Naturals without the CRKT logo, you would think, "Wow, a Crawford custom!" And except for the value price, you'd be pretty darned close.
*U.S. Patent No. 6,834,432
Specifications
Blade: Length: 3.25" (83 mm)
Thickness: 0.15" (3.7 mm)
Steel: 8Cr13MoV, 58-59 HRC
Closed: Handle length: 4.38" (111 mm)
Open: Overall length: 7.63" (194 mm)
