Product Description
The CRKT Heron is a sleek and efficient everyday carry folder designed by Lucas Burnley to mimic the grace and "sharp, swift bite" of its namesake. This model provides a high-performance narrative by pairing a 2.93-inch 8Cr14MoV stainless steel Wharncliffe blade with a rugged blackwashed finish. Engineered for precision, the blade features a fine tip and integrated jimping for superior control during detailed cutting tasks. The two-tone handle is a standout feature, utilizing a tan G10 base with a sophisticated black carbon fiber inlay on the show side and a robust stainless steel frame lock on the back. Whether you're navigating a professional environment or a weekend campsite, the Heron offers a premium aesthetic without sacrificing brute strength.
