The CRKT Avant combines modern styling, rugged materials, and smooth operation in a capable everyday carry folder. Built to handle daily cutting chores while standing out from the crowd, it delivers the practical performance you want with a distinctive, refined look.
Its 3.18-inch drop point blade is crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel and finished in satin. The dependable steel provides solid edge retention and corrosion resistance, and at .14 inches thick, the blade offers a sturdy balance of strength and precision.
Deployment is quick and versatile, with both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs providing easy one-handed access. CRKT’s IKBS ball-bearing pivot system keeps the action smooth and fluid, while the reliable liner lock secures the blade firmly during use.
The Avant’s handle pairs black carbon fiber with G-10, creating a striking combination of lightweight durability and dependable grip. Ergonomic contours make it comfortable in hand, while the 4.31-inch closed length keeps it practical for everyday carry. At 5.4 ounces, it has enough heft to feel substantial without becoming cumbersome.
A tip-up pocket clip provides secure, discreet carry and keeps the Avant ready when you need it. With an overall length of 7.5 inches, it offers plenty of useful reach while maintaining a manageable EDC footprint. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting cordage, or tackling everyday utility work, the Avant is built to perform with confidence.
