CRKT Xan Folding Pocket Knife, Clip Point Blade, Carbon Fiber / G10 Handle 2085

Description

Protect with purpose. Designed by a special ops veteran, the Xan™ /z-ann/ tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife is your pocket-sized security system. Designed in the wake of the powerful and popular RASP™ tactical folder, the Xan™ keeps all the tactical trappings while translating seamlessly to the garage.
Forged By War® designer Darrin William Sirois dreamt up the Xan™ (which translates to "protector" in Greek) from his shop in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The thin design packs a high-carbon stainless steel clip point blade with a bead blast finish. The lightweight handle is built with black carbon fiber with a black G10 base on the front, and sleek stainless steel on the other. Engage the thumb stud, open it 30 degrees and OutBurst® spring assist takes over. The blade springs to life and stays steadily in place with a frame lock. When closed, the internal mechanism holds the blade securely in place.
A tactical titan undercover as an EDC.
About the Forged By War® Program
In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS).
To help work through their challenges, they have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield.
CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War® program.
These are mission ready tools, designed by veterans, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veterans' charity of choice.

Innovation and Integrity. To Columbia River Knife & Tool, Nothing Matters More.
These convictions come first. Innovation means building products that will continue to lead and define the industry in terms of creativity and utility; it means constantly asking ourselves how we can be better. For the past 25 years, we've released industry-shifting innovations and worked with some of the most renowned custom and independent knife designers in the world. What really ties it all together though, is our true guiding light.
CRKT is guided by integrity-this is critical to how they have chosen to do business. It means interacting with customers honestly and directly. It also means building products that perform reliably and a brand that behaves consistently, decade after defining decade. Born in Oregon, CRKT knives and tools truly reflect the rugged terrain from which they come. That, to CRKT, makes all the difference.
