Wild Weasel Assisted Folding Knife 3.275″ Blade, Gray Aluminum Handle 1000A
$180.00
CRKT Knives
Designed by renowned custom knifemakers Pat & Wes Crawford of West Memphis, Arkansas, the Wild Weasel is an open build aluminum framed locking liner folder with assisted opening.
While CRKT has achieved an enviable reputation for quality with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan, U.S. federal law requires that assisted opening knives be made in the U.S.A. This reality caused us to find an eager domestic manufacturer with a new, state-of-the-art plant, and we are very impressed by their first production runs of the Wild Weasel.
We were able to employ the Tailwind speed assist technology (patent pending) which is ingeniously simple, strong and lightweight. Its over-center cam/spring design holds the folder securely closed. When either of the dual thumb studs is rotated outward 30 degrees, the Tailwind spring instantly rotates the blade to full open and locked position. Teflon bushings at the blade pivot help make the action smooth and very, very fast.
The Wild Weasel’s blade is premium 154 CM stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 58-60. The blade is a modified drop point, hollow ground with a belly and recurve. A false top edge aids penetration, while the blade spine keeps its full thickness for 80% of its length for strength. Blade finish is a non-reflective light bead blast.
The handle uses our exceptionally rigid and strong InterFrame construction, with two 410 stainless steel liners, one locking, and scales of 6061 aluminum, hard anodized Gray.
To aid grip, the handle has deep finger choils and a pronounced pommel. In addition, black Santoprene inserts are inlaid at strategic points on both sides of the knife. Premium Torx fasteners are used throughout.
The Wild Weasel comes with a removable pocket/gear clip of 410 stainless steel in light bead blast finish. The clip can be reversed thanks to tapped holes on both sides of the knife.
Features:
- Tailwind speed assist technology (patent pending)
- Handle features inlaid and textured strip inserts of black Santoprene
- Removable pocket/gear clip of 410 stainless steel.

$199.00 Add to cartBlur Assisted Folding Knife 3.4″ Stonewash Plain Blade, Blue Aluminum Handle, Liner Lock 1670NBSW
Kershaw Knives
Like all Blurs, the 1670NBSW is equipped with a big, slightly recurved blade that’s ideal for multitasking. The blade shape offers both excellent slicing and piercing capabilities. High-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel provides the Blur’s blade with corrosion resistance and excellent edge-holding ability. The stonewashed blade finish gives the surface a desirable roughened or scuffed look that helps hide scratches and fingerprints.
The handle is built of durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, which is sometimes described as “aircraft aluminum” since it is a common material used for aircraft fittings. It’s lightweight, extremely durable, and anodizes well so Kershaw can create colored handles that are scratch resistant and extra tough. Trac-Tec grip-tape inserts provide an extra-secure grip. The Blur’s inset liner lock ensures secure blade lock up during use.
For easy one-handed opening, the Blur is equipped with SpeedSafe® assisted opening. Just push on the built-in thumb stud. The reversible pocketclip lets you carry tip-up or tip-down comfortably.

The handles are made from Noryl GTX with a reversible pocket clip for completely ambidextrous carry. With multiple blade styles, sizes and colors your Grips just got a little wilder.
CPM-S30V Stainless Steel
A premium steel created especially for knives, it is a powder steel creating uniform carbide distribution and clean steel properties. As a blade material, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and superb edge qualities. This stainless steel is extremely well balanced, making it one of the best all-around choices for daily tasks.
AXIS Lock
A Benchmade original, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100 percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang. As a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
