The CRKT Counterpart is a lightweight folding knife designed to combine modern styling with dependable everyday utility in a compact, efficient format. The tanto blade measures 3.31 inches in length with a thickness of 0.11 inches and is manufactured from D2 tool steel, selected for strong edge retention and piercing strength during repeated cutting tasks. An oxide blade finish reduces glare and surface wear while supporting corrosion resistance. Overall length measures 7.75 inches with a closed length of 4.42 inches, and total weight is approximately 2.10 ounces, promoting comfortable all-day pocket carry without excess bulk.
Smooth blade deployment is supported by an IKBS ball-bearing pivot and a low-profile thumb disc for quick, intuitive opening. An ambidextrous crossbar locking mechanism delivers secure lockup and allows controlled one-handed operation from either side. The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon to provide durability and structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight profile. A reversible tip-up pocket clip supports discreet left- or right-side carry, making the Counterpart well suited for routine utility tasks that demand reliability, control, and efficient carry.
