CRKT 6070CF Padawan Frame Lock Folding Knife – 14C28N Steel w/ Carbon Fiber Handle

The Padawan name is a nod to the days when Brazilian designer Pedro Buzetti apprenticed under renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma, the inventor of the revolutionary Deadbolt® Lock. But that doesn’t mean this capable folding knife is anything but expertly crafted. It’s a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a testament to Buzetti’s relentless pursuit of knifemaking perfection.
Retaining the original Padawan’s 14C28N blade steel and smooth-opening IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot, the newest addition to the Padawan family elevates the knife with a refined aesthetic and premium materials, like a striking, wear-resistant carbon fiber overlay on the brushed stainless steel handle. Ikoma passed his perfectionism down to Buzetti, a trait that’s made clear by this stunning EDC’s undeniable marriage of function and form.
