CRKT Kith EDC Folding Pocket Knife
Category: crkt (columbia river knife & tool)
Introducing the Kith: a familiar, old friend in the world of knives. Designed by veteran knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, this knife takes inspiration from traditional midlock joints and backlock folders but introduces a whole new approach with its front lock design. The opening of the blade feels intuitive and natural, giving a deeper meaning to the knife's Old English name, which translates to "friend".
Ken Steigerwalt, a seasoned knifemaker from Orangeville, Pennsylvania, reimagines traditional locking mechanisms with the Kith's front lock feature. By utilizing the knife's liners as springs, he creates more space for the blade. The strategically placed thumb stud and front lock allow for easy opening and closing with either hand, providing complete ambidextrous freedom.
The Kith features a 2.95" drop point blade with a thin, sturdy tip that is perfect for precision work. The handle is inspired by classic rag micarta, maintaining a simple and clean aesthetic while offering multiple grip and carry options. Made of glass-reinforced nylon, the handle prioritizes durability and lightweightness, making it an excellent everyday carry option that won't weigh you down.
In summary, the Kith is a dependable and versatile choice for daily use.
