From the handle to the blade, the Crossbones is a marvel of slim, minimalist design. So much so that it went on to win the Best Imported Knife of 2017 at this past Blade Show. It’s a feat made even more impressive given it’s up-and-coming knifemaker Jeff Park’s first production blade from CRKT. The Crossbones has an understated sleekness to it that makes it a perfect choice for a classy modern gent’s knife. And its ergonomics and versatility make it a great choice for general everyday carry use, too.
The Crossbones sports a thin, 6061 aluminum handle with a two-tone “cross” pattern that gives it its signature look. A darker, diamond-textured section gives excellent grip to its otherwise slender frame and contrasts the rest of the brushed aluminum on the handle. An IKBS-assisted flipper tab keeps the knife’s trim silhouette when closed while quickly deploying its 3.5” AUS-8 blade into a solid liner lock. The Crossbones is an excellent slicer thanks to the full flat grind on its blade, making short work of your everyday cutting tasks. And at a mere 4.5″ closed and 2.4oz in weight, it’s neither too big nor too heavy for your pockets.
If you’re looking for a knife that cuts as sharp as it looks, the Crossbones is a great low-profile option for you. Give this modern EDC gent’s knife a try and pick one up at the link below.
