CRKT Counterpart: Purpose-Built Precision
When a legendary knifemaker like Ken Onion designs a knife, every detail serves a purpose. The Counterpart exemplifies this philosophy—a folding knife that balances practical utility with clean, modern aesthetics.
Blade Performance
The Counterpart features a 3.38" drop point blade crafted from 12C27 stainless steel with a black oxide finish. This proven steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it reliable for everyday tasks and demanding field work.
Smooth, Reliable Deployment
The IKBS ball bearing pivot system ensures the blade deploys with smooth precision every time. The ambidextrous Crossbar Lock provides rock-solid security and can be easily disengaged from either side, making it equally comfortable for left- or right-handed users.
Lightweight Durability
The handle is constructed from light green glass-reinforced nylon—tough enough for serious work yet light enough for all-day carry comfort. The adjustable tip-up pocket clip accommodates both left and right-hand carry positions, keeping your knife accessible and discreet until you need it.
The Bottom Line
The Counterpart isn't simply a folding knife—it's a steadfast companion when precision, confidence, and readiness matter.
