CRKT Avant Folding Knife 3.18 Inch Plain Stonewash Drop Point

The CRKT Avant is a stylish and capable everyday carry (EDC) folding knife that seamlessly blends sleek aesthetics with dependable functionality. Designed with both practicality and visual appeal in mind, this knife is built to handle daily tasks with ease while making a statement. Whether you’re slicing, cutting, or simply showing off your gear, the Avant delivers.

At the core of the CRKT Avant is its 3.18-inch drop point blade, crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. This reliable steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it perfect for all your cutting needs. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, lived-in look, helping to hide wear and tear while adding to its sophisticated appearance. With a .14-inch blade thickness, the Avant is robust enough for heavier tasks yet precise enough for fine detail work.

Opening the Avant is effortless and satisfying, thanks to its dual deployment options. Use the blade flipper for a smooth, quick action or the ambidextrous thumb studs for added versatility. Either way, the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system ensures the blade deploys seamlessly every time. The secure liner lock provides dependable safety, keeping the blade firmly in place during use so you can work with confidence.

The Avant’s handle is a true standout, combining black carbon fiber with G-10 for a striking, modern look. These materials aren’t just about aesthetics—they also deliver lightweight durability and a secure grip. The handle is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, ensuring a confident hold during use. At 4.31 inches when closed and weighing 5.4 ounces, the Avant balances portability with substance, offering the heft you need without feeling cumbersome.

Practicality is at the forefront of the CRKT Avant’s design. The tip-up pocket clip allows for discreet and secure carry, making it easy to keep the knife within reach. Whether it’s in your pocket, clipped to your gear, or stored in a bag, the Avant is always ready to be your reliable partner. With an overall length of 7.5 inches when open, this knife is perfectly sized for everyday use, offering a blend of utility and portability.

From casual users to seasoned knife enthusiasts, the Avant has something to offer everyone. Its thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and smooth functionality make it an excellent choice for those who value performance as much as style.
