The CRKT Fortuitous Black Stonewash is a masterpiece of design, innovation, and craftsmanship, making it a standout in the world of everyday carry folding knives. Designed by the legendary Michael Walker and crafted in Italy in collaboration with the renowned LionSteel, this knife combines premium materials, expert engineering, and unparalleled style to create a tool that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
The heart of the Fortuitous is its 3.51-inch Wharncliffe blade, made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. This high-performance steel is known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ensuring your blade is up to the task for years to come. The Wharncliffe shape offers a versatile cutting edge and a strong, precise tip, perfect for slicing, detail work, and more. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade resists scratches and fingerprints while exuding a sleek, understated elegance.
Opening the Fortuitous is a pleasure thanks to its blade flipper and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. The manual action is incredibly smooth and responsive, giving you quick, effortless access to the blade whenever you need it. Once deployed, the linerlock mechanism holds the blade securely in place, providing confidence and safety during use.
The textured titanium handle is both durable and lightweight, making it a practical and stylish choice for daily carry. At 4.68 inches closed, the handle offers a comfortable grip that feels secure in hand, while the titanium construction ensures long-lasting reliability. The subtle texturing enhances both aesthetics and functionality, providing just the right amount of grip without being overly aggressive. The handle’s black stonewash finish ties the design together, creating a cohesive look that’s equal parts rugged and refined.
Weighing in at just 3.7 ounces, the Fortuitous is light enough to carry comfortably yet robust enough for demanding tasks. Its slim profile and deep-carry, tip-up pocket clip make it easy to slip into your pocket discreetly, keeping it ready for action without adding bulk. When fully open, the knife measures 8.16 inches overall, striking the perfect balance between portability and performance. The .14-inch blade thickness adds durability without compromising cutting efficiency.
Every detail of the Fortuitous reflects Michael Walker’s innovative design philosophy and LionSteel’s dedication to craftsmanship. It’s more than just a knife—it’s a reliable tool and a statement of quality that will elevate any EDC collection.
