CRKT Kova EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Plain Edge Blade, Front Lock, Nylon Handle

The Kova™ is a classic folding knife with a tough edge. The name Kova™ originates from the Finnish language, meaning "tough, hard, or demanding a lot of effort to endure." Designed by the veteran knife designer Ken Steigerwalt, the strength and durability of the Kova™ folding knife are not just in the name, but also in how it rises to the challenge of everyday tasks.

Ken Steigerwalt has been making his own knives since he was a child. Now, with 35 years of experience in knife design, he introduces the Kova™. Inspired by older-style midlock and backlock folders, Ken chose a front lock design that utilizes the knife's liners as springs for the front lock, creating more space for the blade. Simplifying the internal mechanism has also impacted the exterior composition, making the knife more convenient to hold, with less need to change your grip when opening or closing.

The Kova™ features a 3.5" drop point blade and glass-reinforced nylon handles that showcase a subtle pattern. With its front lock design, the Kova™ is a dependable everyday carry that will please both right and left-handed users, as the ability to open and close the knife with a single hand is easily achievable.

Additionally, the deep carry clip rides low in the pocket, maintaining a low profile.
