Elishewitz Anubis Button Lock Folder 3.5″ Plain Blade 1120

Allen Elishewitz is an acclaimed young Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker who offers a surprising range of custom knives, many with Egyptian-themed names. The CRKT Anubis shows its lineage as an Elishewitz shape, with the benefits of advanced production technology.

For superior edge retention, we use AUS 8 stainless steel in a non-reflective bead-blast finish. A gold-plated Elishewitz logo is inset into the stainless steel blade in the manner of custom knives.

Teflon and brass bearings at the blade pivot assure fast either-hand opening, using dual checkered thumb studs which also act as blade stops.

The button lock gives absolute steel-on-steel lockup, resulting in the strongest lock possible. CRKT has added a version of their patented automatic safety, AutoLAWKS™, giving maximum security against accidental closing. To fold the knife, you must pull back the AutoLAWKS lever and press the button at the same time, making accidental opening of the knife nearly impossible.

Construction is stainless steel for the frame with injection-molded Zytel scales and an inset brushed stainless steel bolster at the butt. The handle perfectly fits the average adult hand. Dual reliefs at the finger choil aid grip, and make opening easier. The Anubis features a removable pocket clip (tip down) for easy carry.

Everything about the Anubis shouts strength. It has the rigidity, sure lockup and heft of folders costing twice as much, and we welcome comparison.

This is a sport and work knife that is built to be around for a long, long time. Who knows? Like Anubis, it may prove to be immortal.
