Product Description
The CRKT Nucleus™ is a bold departure from traditional folding knife design, merging futuristic aesthetics with multi-functional deployment. Designed by the innovative Matthew Lerch, this folder is more than just a tool; it is a mechanical statement piece built for those who demand both style and substance in their everyday carry. With its skeletonized frame and striking color accents, the Nucleus stands as a high-tech centerpiece for any modern gear collection.
The Nucleus features a 3.19" reverse tanto blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27™ stainless steel, providing an excellent balance of edge sharpness, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished with a non-reflective bead blast and features distinctive weight-reducing holes and milling that enhance its unique silhouette. Deployment is incredibly versatile, offering both a traditional flipper and a front flipper option, all riding on the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for lightning-fast action. The handle is a structural work of art, utilizing a black stainless steel frame lock for rock-solid security, accented by vibrant black and red G-10 onlays that provide a textured, high-traction grip.
