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 new 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™. At 10.4 ounces, this is a big hunk of knife, with a 3.88” blade of premium 8Cr13MoV polished stainless steel and stainless steel liners so thick that it qualifies as a frame-lock folder. The blade can only be called a “Crawford Marauder clip point,” with a scalloped top edge and dual ramped Crawford-style thumb studs for opening. Just nudge either thumb stud outward approximately 30 degrees, and the OutBurst mechanism springs the blade open with a satisfying “click.”
