Description

Closing Knife CRKT CLEVER GIRL FOLDER 2640.

Forged to look their best when things get ugly.

When you’re in a combat situation in dark, CQB environments, you want something you can draw quickly and use instinctively. Enter the Clever Girl™ Folder Tactical Knife with Deadbolt®.

As part of the Forged By War® program, Austin McGlaun of Columbus, Georgia designed the Clever Girl™. It is in keeping with his philosophy that a knife is more than a tool. It’s a psychological deterrent that’s very different from a gun – it tells the attacker very quickly that you mean business.

With a black, powder-coated blade, it’s a knife that’s all about function. It’s here to protect you – whether in the field, on a mission, or in high-stress environments. Simply grip the solid G10 handle, which provides exceptional grip, and deploy by simply opening the flipper. When open, the Deadbolt® engages: steel bolts interlock with the steel blade and inserts to provide incredible strength. A prominent button is located at the pivot point for easy disconnection.

In the fight for your life, you want the Clever Girl™ folder to have your back.

How Deadbolt® works

Steel screws lock into the base of the blade when it is deployed to provide incredible strength. A prominent button is located at the pivot point for simple and intuitive disengagement without fingers crossing the path of the blade.

About Forged By War®

In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, a designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been working with several war veterans who had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS).

To help them overcome their challenges, they designed and forged steel into their own tools. Based on their experience gained in combat situations, they created the tools they wished to have available on the battlefield.

CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War® program.

These are mission-ready tools, designed by veterans, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veteran’s charity of choice.

Austin McGlaun’s charity for this tool is OATH, an organization that helps disabled veterans through outdoor activities and Christian support groups.
