CRKT Williwaw Hammond Flipper Folding Knife

Distinguish yourself from the rest with the elegantly designed CRKT Williwaw. Alaskan native Jim Hammond crafted this folding knife with a nod to a frigid wind originating from the Alaskan mountains. Function and artistry come together in this awesome craftsmanship of work.

Why choose this knife?

• 2Cr13 SS handle sculpted to resemble Arctic winds, contoured for a secure grip
• Modified drop point blade has recurve for a lengthened knife edge
• IKBS ball bearings and subtle flipper allows for fast and smooth deployment
• Frame lock provides solid lock-up during use
• Stainless steel clip for tip-up belt or pocket carry

Why not?

• 8Cr13MoV has moderate edge retention compared to higher-end knife steels
• Pocket clip is non-reversible for left-handed users

Pro Tip:
Recurved blades have a second curve along the cutting edge, creating an S-shape in the middle. This added curvature effectively makes the cutting edge longer and provides a wider degree of cutting angles. This blade shape can be tricky to sharpen though, as it requires continual reorientation of the edge.
