Product Description
The CRKT Pilar III is the highly anticipated evolution of Jesper Voxnaes' most famous design. This "third-generation" model provides a high-performance narrative by transforming the compact minimalist sailor’s knife into a distinctly urban everyday carry folder with a larger 2.97-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade. This iteration features a versatile drop point profile with a clean satin finish, ideal for a wider range of cutting tasks. Engineered for superior action, it incorporates the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for a frictionless, lightning-fast opening via the signature thumb slot. With a hybrid handle featuring black G10 for grip and a solid stainless steel frame lock for strength, the Pilar III remains low profile in the pocket while punching far above its weight class.
Key Features:
-
IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot: Provides an incredibly smooth and rapid deployment, allowing the blade to glide open effortlessly with a simple flick of the thumb.
-
Urban-Ready Drop Point Blade: The increased blade length and pointed tip offer improved piercing and slicing capabilities compared to the original sheepsfoot design, making it more versatile for daily carry.
-
Durable Hybrid Construction: Combines a high-strength G10 front scale for a secure, all-weather grip with a thick stainless steel lock bar that ensures the blade stays securely open during heavy use.
