Cold Steel Crawford Model 1 3.5" Folding Knife

Cold Steel Crawford Model 1 Folding Knife

The Crawford Model 1 represents a thoughtful approach to everyday carry and utility cutting. This is a knife designed by someone who understands how a blade actually works in the field.

Blade Design

The blade features a wide saber grind that provides excellent strength while maintaining a keen edge. The strong, sharp point cuts cleanly, and the generous belly of the blade makes it equally effective for slashing and detailed cutting work. Crafted from Japanese 4034 stainless steel and hollow ground to a thin, razor edge, this blade will cut at the slightest touch—exactly what you want when precision matters.

Handle and Deployment

The handle is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon with integrated traction rubber inlays, providing a secure grip in wet or demanding conditions. The integrated flipper is built into the tang itself, allowing for lightning-fast deployment when you need the blade ready immediately. This is not a knife that hesitates.

Safety and Reliability

Two safety mechanisms protect your hand: a proven leaf spring lock and a patent-pending secondary safety mechanism that resists shock and impact with impressive authority. When engaged, these systems keep the blade locked firmly in place, giving you confidence in any situation.

Carry

A low-profile pocket clip allows discreet carry while remaining accessible when needed. This is a working knife, not a showpiece.
