The CRKT Counterpart: Purpose-Built Everyday Carry
Designed by legendary knifemaker Ken Onion, the Counterpart represents the marriage of practical utility and refined modern design. This is a knife built for those who demand precision, confidence, and readiness in their everyday carry.
Blade Performance
The 3.38-inch tanto blade is forged from D2 steel and finished with a durable black oxide coating. D2 steel is renowned for exceptional edge retention and piercing strength—qualities that make it ideal for both utility tasks and demanding field work. The tanto profile excels at controlled cutting and penetration, making it versatile across a wide range of applications.
Smooth, Intuitive Deployment
The IKBS ball bearing pivot system ensures silky-smooth blade deployment every time. Activation is handled by a low-profile thumb disc that sits naturally under your thumb, allowing quick and intuitive access without fumbling or second-guessing. Whether you're right-handed or left-handed, the ambidextrous design works equally well.
Security and Comfort
The ambidextrous Crossbar Lock provides rock-solid blade security whether you're left- or right-handed. The black glass-reinforced nylon handle balances durability with featherweight carry comfort—tough enough for serious work, light enough for all-day carry without fatigue.
Carry Options
The adjustable tip-up pocket clip accommodates both left and right-hand carry, keeping your knife riding discreetly until the moment you need it. This is genuine everyday carry design, refined and ready.
