You have a friend in the CRKT Amicus Folding Outdoor Knife. Literally meaning “friend” or “comrade”, the word Amicus is an apt name for this beastly drop point knife, which is designed to accompany its user into the most brutal corners of nature’s playground. The 3.4” stonewashed blade opens up quickly with the ambidextrous thumb holes and locks up securely thanks to the sturdy frame lock. The ergonomically designed handle provides hands with a firm secure grip, even in rainy weather. Pocket clip and lanyard hole are included for easy carry. Available in plain edge and serrated versions.

Why choose this knife?

• Ambidextrous thumb holes can be used by both right and left-handed users
• Cut confidently with the secure frame lock
• Protruding backspacers and handle grooves for strong grip
• 2 position pocket clip can be worn tip up or tip down
• Designed by custom knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes for tough outdoor work

Why not?

• Cr13Mov steel requires more frequent sharpening
• Drop point shape does not have as much penetration power as tanto blades

Pro Tip:
A stonewash finish can add visual interest and really highlight the grinds and lines of the blade if properly executed. This effect is also excellent for hiding minor scratches and fingerprints. For those who are interested in stonewashed blades, make sure you are maintaining it often. Stonewashing is ultimately a form of carefully engineered surface damage which makes the knife more prone to oxidization than a regular finish.
