## Description

COLD STEEL CRAWFORD 1 POCKET FOLDING KNIFE: The Crawford Model 1 blade features a wide saber grind and a strong, sharp point with plenty of bellies for cutting and slashing. It's made from Japanese 4034 Stainless Steel and is hollow ground to a thin, razor edge that will cut at the slightest touch. And, because Wess flipper is integrated into the tang, it can be opened lightning fast! The handle of the Crawford Model 1 mimics Wess original profile and silhouette but is made from a strong, glass-reinforced nylon that includes traction rubber inlays, and a low-profile pocket clip. To keep your fingers safe from potential harm, we have equipped the Crawford 1 with our leaf spring lock, and a (patent pending) secondary safety mechanism that, when engaged is extremely resistant to shock and impact. FEATURES: - Zy-Ex Handle; - 4034 Stainless Steel Clip Point Blade; - Stainless Pocket / Belt Clip; - Spring Leaf Locking Mechanism. SPECS: Weight: 4.1 oz (116.2 g); Blade Thickness: 3.3 mm; Blade Length: 3 1/2"; Handle Length: 4 7/8"; Overall Length: 8 3/8".

Review: Good knife very happy just wish it was assisted open - Blade holds an edge nicely (I’m not easy on knives), the grip feels good in the hand and the lock functions great. I only wish it was assisted open. It opens pretty good, but I like a nice spring action. Other than that, I really don’t have anything to say. It’s my first Cold Steel knife l, but I really like it. I’m coming from a Kershaw blade. The first one I had I loved, but I lost it and replaced it with the same kind (again I loved it) and the blade was far less good. Wouldn’t stay sharp. This was about 3-4 years later so maybe they aren’t made as good. Moving to this Cold Steel it has held up well. The blade was pretty sharp out of the box. I honed it just a bit and then stropped it and it’s been good for about 5 weeks. It’s just now needing to be sharpened up. The lock feature is nice, it’s my first one, I’m of the kind that if you’re worried a blade might force closed on you then you need a different tool. So I honestly forget about it a lot. Used it twice just messing around testing it and I feel like you would have to catastrophically break the knife to make the lock break.
Review: Excellent knife for the money with flipper quick open - I have a number of knives from Benchmade, Cold Steel, Gerber, Henry, Kershaw, Puma, and SOG. With few exceptions, Cold Steel knives are made in Taiwan. I'm impressed with their innovative design, quality production and reasonable prices. The Crawford Model 1 is well made and is more comfortable with the clip removed. The flipper mechanism is similar to that found on knives from Kershaw and SOG. A fair amount of force is needed to open it, but I'm hoping it will be easier after oiling it. A slide mechanism to keep the knife open seemed like an after thought. It was difficult to open and didn't seem to provide much value. To me, the knife's advantages make this a good value and great every day carry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: But this does not have the famous, patented, and best reason to buy a cold steel folder...a tri-ad lock, right?**
A: It doesnt. It has a rocker lock which basically is a little switch that slides behind the lockbar to ensure it doesnt fail. Its still a solid knife with a great and functional design. But i wouldnt put it in the same league as Tri-Ad locks.

**Q: How wide is the blade? The recon knife blade is very wide**
A: 1inch wide not quite as wide as a Recon. Recon Is 1 1/4 wide thickness about the same on both

**Q: What is the blade length?**
A: 3 1/2" long blade

**Q: Doesn’t weight matter when you are carrying it?  So much so that shouldn’t the specs include the weight of of what you will be carrying?**
A: I think the specs for an EDC knife should always include the weight.  Many don't...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent knife
*by J***K on December 25, 2024*

It opens nicely right out of the box and it ships very sharp. My only criticism is the pocket clip: it's way too tight. It gets stuck on the pocket seam, and in fact damages it. But it seems a lot of knives these days are like that.
