The CRKT Slag is a compact assisted‑opening folding knife engineered for demanding everyday utility where reliability and rapid deployment matter. The drop‑point blade measures 2.95 inches in length with a 0.090‑inch thickness and is manufactured from D2 tool steel for strong edge retention and durability under repeated cutting tasks. A black oxide blade finish reinforces corrosion resistance and reduces visual wear. Overall length measures 6.81 inches with a closed length of 3.93 inches, while total weight remains approximately 3.10 ounces for balanced pocket carry.
Assisted opening is driven by an IKBS ball bearing pivot system and can be actuated through either the flipper tab or dual thumb studs for fast, consistent deployment. The handle is constructed from stainless steel and integrates a frame lock that provides secure blade lockup during use. A tip‑up deep‑carry pocket clip supports discreet right‑side pocket carry, keeping the knife accessible and stable for routine work such as packaging breakdown, wire stripping, and general utility tasks.
