Surprised
This knife is not a new style, but I was surprised to never have come across it. It's large but fits in my hand well. The handle is extremely grippy and the action is smooth.

The CRKT Fossil is a bold, high-performance folding knife that blends aggressive styling with smooth functionality. Designed for those who appreciate a knife that stands out while delivering reliable cutting power, the Fossil is built to handle anything from everyday tasks to demanding fieldwork.
At the heart of the Fossil is a 3.96-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, a tough, corrosion-resistant steel that holds an edge well and sharpens easily. The satin finish enhances durability while giving the blade a clean, professional look. A blade flipper, combined with the IKBS Ball Bearing Pivot System, ensures fast, fluid deployment with minimal effort. Once open, the sturdy framelock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place, ready for any cutting job.
The handle is where the Fossil truly shines. Made from rugged stainless steel with black G-10 inlays, it offers a secure grip with a unique, almost prehistoric aesthetic. The contoured design provides a comfortable, natural hold, making extended use a breeze. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures the knife stays secure and within reach, whether clipped to a pocket or gear.
Measuring 4.95 inches when closed, the CRKT Fossil is large enough to tackle serious tasks yet compact enough to carry daily. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or cutting, this knife is built to perform while turning heads with its distinct design.
