Padawan Frame Lock Knife

Never underestimate an apprentice.

Introducing: the Padawan. Pedro Buzetti’s first design with CRKT, this capable folding knife is available in two versions. The 6075 was made for utility, with a Wharncliffe blade made from 14C28N steel and a G10 overlay on the handle to withstand heavy use. The frame lock was modified to keep the blade secure and prevent over-traveling, and the clip lets the knife sit low in the pocket. Why name it the Padawan? As an apprentice of renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma—known to some as the “Master”—Buzetti's role as “padawan” was the perfect inspiration to debut his first design.
