Crkt Jig Bone Scales 7080J Knife
Pat and Wes Crawford, custom knifemakers in West Memphis, Arkansas, have produced many successful folder designs for CRKT over the years, many with mid-level blade steels and Zytel® scales. Here’s our idea: let’s make a Crawford folder series that is as close to a custom knife as possible, using premium blade steel and natural materials.
Logically, we decided to call it the Natural® series. Available in two sizes, these are extremely heavy-duty frame-lock folders with our patented* lightning-fast OutBurst® assisted opening.
The Natural™ 2. Similar in design to their big brother, these three smaller personal carry folders have a 3.25” blade, also of polished premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. The thick stainless steel frame is engine turned, or “jeweled,” as is the custom stainless steel clip. They are really overbuilt for long life. All three also have dual thumb studs and OutBurst assisted opening, as well as file work on the polished stainless steel back spacer.
When it came to choosing scales from custom-knife materials, we had trouble deciding between natural white bone, natural jig bone, and black Micarta®. They looked so good, we decided to produce all three.
