New release of popular EDC turning heads and taking names.
CRKT®is issuing two new releases of theFossil™ everyday carry knife. Designed by Flavio IkomaofPresidentePrudente, Brazil, it’s a knife that harkens back to another era. But with a hammered two-tone black and gray handle and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, this one will never get old—especially when it comes to cutting tasks.
The Fossil™ combines the best from Ikoma: with styling cues found on his previous Sampa™ and Carajas™ models, it ramps up the artistic flair to create a piece that is clearly Ikoma, yet distinctively a new breed of EDC folder. The knife has a distinctive, prehistoric look. But it goes through jobs like a T-Rex on stainless steel steroids courtesy of a clip point blade style. It’s available both in a compact version with a plain blade and as a full-size folder with patented Veff Serrations™.
A one-of-a-kind looking pocket knife, both versions feature the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, combined with an opening flipper. The result: blade deployment that is smooth and fast. A thumb hole cutout in both versions of the blade gives you a second option for opening the knife. The flipper also turns into a handsome finger guard when the clip point blade is open. In the features department, it’s survival of the fittest.
While the Fossil™ is hardcore on the inside, it’s gorgeous on the outside. The handles are made of stainless steel with a unique hammered finish. Contoured multi-colored G10 handle overlays make it look like a gator. But the blade won’t come down and bite you in the open position thanks to a frame lock.
Reach for the next evolution in well-crafted everyday carry knives - The Fossil™.
The Fossil™Black with Veff Serrations™ manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $89.99
The Fossil™ Black Compact manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $79.99
