Knifemaker Grant Hawk thinks outside the box, as his K-AT™ (Knife–All Terrain) system clearly demonstrates. The CRKT production version is a full tang fixed blade of bead blast high carbon stainless steel with black urethane scales.
Thoughtfully designed for utility, the spear point blades are available with Razor-Sharp or Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges.
The stowable lanyard completes the handle or goes around the wrist. When you need it, you have added security. When you don’t it stows and becomes part of the handle, providing additional grip—and there is nothing dangling to get caught on brush or limbs.
The two-part convertible black urethane sheath is another example of Grant’s creative thinking. The belt attachment is designed with a 1.75” slot to go on belts or webbing. Complete, the sheath weighs only 2.2 ounces. For minimal weight carry in packs, or chain carry around the neck (chain not included), simply remove the attachment pin, and you have a compact sheath weighing only 0.8 ounces.
Urethane is tough, yet soft, offering the silent carry and draw of leather with the almost indestructible characteristics of a modern synthetic. The sheath has a molded detent system which securely grips the knife. Once the K-AT knife snaps into place, it takes a firm thumb push on the sheath to draw.
Grant has ingeniously used nylon cord and neoprene O-ring groups to secure both the knife lanyard and the sheath pin.
Here is a truly versatile fixed blade knife system that is a remarkably lightweight package. It is so different and useful we just had to put it into production. And everyone who sees it remarks that it is a lot of high quality knife for a remarkably low price.
