Pat Crawford is an independent knife maker who designed this knife. He says, "I was impressed by the strength and slashing ability of a reverse-curve Tanto blade, so that was where I started designing the Triumph. It has a different look, not as art, but as an entirely functional shape."
The CRKT production Triumph Folder is a large and formidable tactical knife designed for grip, even in wet and muddy conditions. Gripping feature include double finger choils, thumb friction grooves and diagonal CNC-machined deeply grooved G10 scales. The 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, are a hefty 0.1" thick.
The beefy 0.14" thick, 3.5" long blade is a dual-grind Tanto with a recurve to aid cutting and a false top edge grind for penetrating power. Blade steel is premium AUS 8 stainless steel. The blade is Razor-Sharp. Serrated blade features the patented Veff™ Serrated edges. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly.
The Triumph Folder features CRKT's OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. To maximize safety, CRKT built in their exclusive patented AutoLAWKS™ safety that automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked, creating a virtual fixed blade instantly.
The "TS" series features a camo tiger-striped non-reflective blade with black G10 scales.
The black Teflon®-plated stainless clip is removable.
