SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Padawan is a purpose-built folding knife that delivers clean, confident performance with no excess. Designed by Pedro Buzetti of Brazil, this EDC-ready blade features a 3.33-inch black stonewashed 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blade with a classic clip point profile. The black stonewash finish not only gives the blade a battle-worn look, it also helps resist glare and wear—perfect for low-profile carry and long-term use.
Deployment is swift and smooth thanks to the flipper tab paired with CRKT’s IKBS ball bearing pivot system. The blade rockets open with minimal effort and locks up solid with a stainless steel frame lock. The handle offers a comfortable, slim profile with a black GRN scale on the show side and a matching black stonewashed steel frame on the lock side, delivering a secure, balanced grip without extra weight.
This knife is all about streamlined function. The slim design slips easily into the pocket, and the stainless steel pocket clip keeps it in place for tip-up, right-hand carry. With no flashy extras, the Padawan is for those who prefer their tools focused, fast, and quietly capable.
