The Arcane Design The CRYPT Gray Stonewash is a bold and meticulously engineered folding knife that exemplifies the perfect balance of modern design, high-performance materials, and versatile functionality. Crafted for enthusiasts who demand both style and substance, it combines Arcane’s forward-thinking innovation with practical features, resulting in a knife that stands out whether carried daily or admired in a collection. With its distinctive Persian blade profile and premium components, the CRYPT is as much a statement piece as it is a reliable tool.
At the heart of the CRYPT Gray Stonewash is a 3.75-inch Persian blade made from M390 stainless steel. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390 is a high-performance steel ideal for demanding tasks and extended use. The Persian blade shape features a pronounced, upswept belly that excels at slicing, cutting, and precision work, giving this knife an elegant yet functional edge geometry. Its gray stonewash finish adds depth to the blade’s surface, minimizing visible wear while enhancing the knife’s tactical, understated aesthetic.
Deployment on the CRYPT is smooth and intuitive, thanks to the dual opening options. The blade flipper allows for rapid one-handed deployment, while the thumb hole provides an alternative method for precise, controlled access. Once open, the linerlock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, offering reliability and confidence during use. With a blade thickness of .16 inches, the CRYPT is strong enough for demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a balanced feel for more delicate work. At 8.5 inches overall and 4.75 inches closed, this folding knife strikes an ideal compromise between reach and portability, and its 4.8-ounce weight gives it a solid yet comfortable presence in hand.
The handle is crafted from gray stonewash 6AL-4V titanium, combining strength, lightweight performance, and a refined, modern look. The ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable grip, while the monochromatic stonewash finish harmonizes beautifully with the blade. A right-hand, tip-up pocket clip completes the package, allowing for discreet, convenient carry while keeping the knife accessible whenever it’s needed. Every aspect of the handle, from its contours to its material selection, reflects Arcane Design’s dedication to both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
