In a longstanding partnership with custom knife craftsman Wes Crawford, cold steel proudly introduces the Crawford model 1 - an affordable rendition of one of his sought-after custom flippers. Drawing close resemblance to Wes's original design, this knife boasts a robust blade with a wide saber grind, showcasing a sharp and resilient point coupled with ample belly for slicing and slashing tasks. Crafted from Japanese 4034 stainless steel, the blade undergoes a meticulous hollow grind, honing it to a razor's edge that effortlessly slices upon contact. With Wes's flipper integrated into the tang, swift and seamless deployment is guaranteed. The handle mirrors the profile of Wes's original, constructed from resilient yet cost-effective glass-reinforced nylon, incorporating rubber inlays for enhanced traction and a discreet pocket clip. Prioritizing user safety, the Crawford model 1 incorporates cold Steel's signature leaf spring lock and a pioneering secondary safety mechanism, effectively safeguarding against potential shocks and impacts.
