CRKT Avant everyday carry folder features a satin spear point blade, flipper and thumb disk opening, IKBS ball bearing pivot, locking liner, and black carbon fiber/G10 handles with bronze pocket clip.
The Avant represents a thoughtful approach to everyday carry design. Clean lines and purposeful details combine to create a knife that performs as well as it looks.
The 3.18-inch satin-finished spear point blade is crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel—a proven material that holds an edge while remaining easy to maintain. Two opening methods give you flexibility:
The IKBS (Improved Kershaw Ball Bearing System) uses lubed ball bearings in the pivot to ensure smooth, fast blade deployment every time.
A locking liner provides solid security without sacrificing one-handed closing capability. The compact, ergonomic handle combines woven carbon fiber and G10 materials for a solid grip that works in various conditions—whether you're in front country or backcountry.
The bronze-finished pocket clip and pivot detail add visual refinement while serving practical purposes. This is a knife that earns its place in your pocket through both form and function.
