CRKT Craford/Kasper "Fighting Folder".
Yesterday, I received the (Large, "combo-edge") CRKT Kasper Knife that I had bought from a fellow "Forumite" for a grand total of $30, (including priority shipping). The knife was "listed" as "used", but it looks to be "NIB" to me.
...Anyway...This knife opens as smoothly as warm butter (due to the use of Teflon bearings), locks open as tightly as a vault at Fort Knox, is as sharp as a new razor, and fits my hand as if it were custom-made for ME!.
.
.
The blade profile is GREAT, as it is a full 1&3/8 inches across, 1/8 inch thick, 3&3/4 inches long, and has a "spear-point" shape, with a long "false-edge" on top. The bead-blasted blade steel is AUS 6M Stainless.
This Knife comes with the "LAWKS" blade locking system that prevents the liner-lock from "slipping" off the blade. The LAWKS lever falls naturally under the thumb.
There is a very deep (and comfortable) ambidextrious cut-out for the index finger to "sit-in" so that there is pretty much no way that your hand would slip onto the blade during "heavy stabing motions", while the rear of the handle has a very comfortable "hook" that keeps the hand "in-place" very well. And the top of the handle has some very "nice" grooves to help with the "thumb-grip".
The Zytel handle is attached to the thick stainless liners via a series of Torx screws, and includes a "lanyard" hole.
The pocket clip is set-up for "tip-down" carry, and is secured via three Phillips-head screws.
The ambidextrious thumb-studs are knurled, and are of adequate size to make "one thumb opening" quick, and easy.
In short, this IS one STOUT knife, that is a true "Fighting Folder".
(I would tell even my BEST FRIEND, to buy one of these knives!).
