Introducing the Padawan, a testament to emerging craftsmanship in the world of blades. Conceived by Pedro Buzetti and brought to life through CRKT's collaboration, this folding knife showcases both utility and elegance. Available in two distinct versions, it is the 6075 model that stands out for its practical application.
The heart of this tool is its Wharncliffe blade, crafted from robust 14C28N steel. This choice of material ensures durability while maintaining a sharp edge even under rigorous use. Complementing the blade's strength is a handle adorned with G10 overlay—a design feature selected specifically for its resilience against wear and tear.
A modified frame lock mechanism provides enhanced security by keeping the blade firmly in place during operation, preventing any accidental over-travel when engaged. Additionally, an efficient clip design allows for discreet carry as it holds snugly within your pocket.
The name 'Padawan' pays homage to Buzetti’s journey under Flavio Ikoma—an esteemed figure known among enthusiasts as 'the Master.' This mentor-apprentice relationship inspired Buzetti's inaugural creation: A knife that blends tradition with innovation.
