CRKT Kith EDC Folding Pocket Knife

The Kith, crafted by seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt from Orangeville, Pennsylvania, embodies familiarity akin to an old friend. Steigerwalt, drawing inspiration from traditional midlock and backlock folders, introduces a novel approach with his front lock design. This intuitive construction ensures that opening the blade becomes second nature, imbuing deeper meaning into the knife's Old English name, signifying "friend."

Steigerwalt's innovative front lock on the Kith leverages the knife's liners as springs, reimagining conventional locking mechanisms to maximize blade space. The strategic placement of the thumb stud and front lock facilitates effortless blade deployment and closure with either hand, granting complete ambidextrous usability.

Featuring a 2.95-inch drop point blade with a thin yet robust tip, the Kith excels in precision tasks. The handle, inspired by classic rag micarta aesthetics, combines simplicity with versatility, offering multiple grip and carry options. Balancing durability and lightweight design, the knife integrates a glass-reinforced nylon handle that ensures it's a dependable everyday carry without adding undue weight to your pocket.

In essence, the Kith stands out as a dependable everyday companion.
