Crkt Counterpart K430GKP Folder, 12C27 Steel

Product Description

The Crkt Counterpart K430GKP is a folding knife with a 3.38-inch drop point blade made from 12C27 steel. Ken Onion designed it. The blade has a plain edge and a black oxide finish, and it is 0.11 inch thick. The steel has a hardness of 56-58.

The Counterpart opens on an IKBS ball bearing pivot, which is the opening mechanism on this knife. A crossbar lock holds the blade open while you cut. The handle is gray glass reinforced nylon, and the whole knife weighs 2.1 oz. It measures 4.42 inches closed and 7.75 inches open. A lanyard hole is built into the handle.

Who it suits

A drop point blade has a strong tip and a broad belly. That makes it a sensible shape for everyday jobs like opening packages, cutting cord, and prepping food on a camping trip. The light weight and short closed length make it easy to carry all day. It also fits anyone who wants a Ken Onion design in a simple, plain-edge folder.

Pair it with a lanyard or paracord through the hole in the handle. A small sharpening stone or strop helps keep the 12C27 edge sharp. It also goes well with a compact flashlight and a pocket organizer for an everyday carry kit.
