Once in a rare while you come across a knife that gets everything exactly right: Hand fit, balance, blade feel and looks all meld together in a perfect combination of function, finesse and beauty. The CRKT Fawkes is such a knife – as much a pleasure to use as it is to look at. From the ergonomic curves of the eye-popping layered orange G10 handle to the smooth spring-assisted deployment of the high carbon stainless steel blade, it’s a knife you’ll carry proudly and find excuses to use. You’ll particularly appreciate it in situations that require wearing gloves, when the light weight and substantial handle make it feel nimble, secure and effortless to open. Your current EDC is about to lose its job.
