CRKT 5460 Fossil Compact Folding Knife
Designed by Flavio Ikoma, the Fossil is a compact folding knife that combines distinctive aesthetics with genuine cutting performance. This is a knife that looks as good as it works.
Design & Deployment
The Fossil features a drop point blade in 8Cr13MoV stainless steel—a geometry that excels at slicing, piercing, and general-purpose cutting tasks. The blade deploys via a smooth flipper mechanism backed by CRKT's IKBS ball bearing pivot system, ensuring fast, reliable opening with minimal effort. A thumb hole cutout in the blade provides a secondary opening method for those who prefer it.
Handle & Ergonomics
The handle combines stainless steel with a unique hammered finish and contoured multi-colored G10 overlays that give the knife its distinctive prehistoric character. When the blade is open, the flipper doubles as a finger guard, adding both function and visual appeal. The compact 3.41" blade length makes this knife ideal for everyday carry without bulk.
