Bob Kasper, writer and knife use instructor, has a very clear vision of what must go into an effective tactical work tool—and what must not. Period. Working with custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Pat Crawford to translate his ideas into a folder, the two came up with the ultimate custom folding knife. We at CRKT have slavishly translated every dimension and specification into a very affordable personal confidence builder. In addition, we’ve added the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®) to provide lock security under extreme use.

Construction is an extremely heavy-duty build, with the thickest stainless steel liners we have ever used. The result is an authoritative feel with perfect balance at the deep index finger choil.
