The CRKT Tuna Framelock SMKW Custom Copper Shipwreck Edition transforms Lucas Burnley's popular everyday carry design into a true one-of-a-kind collectible without sacrificing the rugged performance that made the Tuna a favorite. Built around a dependable framelock platform and enhanced by the skilled craftsmanship of the SMKW Custom Team, this exclusive folder blends premium materials, striking artistry, and everyday functionality into a knife that's equally at home in your pocket or on display.
The knife features a 3.22-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel, a proven steel known for its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The versatile drop point profile is well suited for everything from detailed precision work to slicing, utility cuts, and general everyday tasks. Finished with a rugged stonewash treatment, the blade resists the appearance of scratches and wear while giving the knife a hardworking, broken-in look that complements its custom styling.
Ambidextrous thumb studs provide smooth, reliable one-handed deployment, making the blade quick to access whenever the job calls. Once open, the sturdy framelock securely holds the blade in place, delivering the confidence and stability needed for demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a slim, durable profile.
The highlight of this custom edition is its upgraded copper front handle scale, expertly customized by the SMKW Custom Team with a remarkable shipwreck patina. Inspired by weathered copper recovered from the ocean floor, the finish showcases an incredible blend of rich blues, vibrant greens, and naturally distressed copper tones. Every handle is individually treated, ensuring that no two knives share the exact same appearance. The result is a truly unique piece that combines the beauty of aged metal with the durability expected from a hardworking everyday carry knife.
Complementing the custom copper front scale is a stonewashed stainless steel rear handle that adds strength and visual balance to the design. An aluminum backspacer with an integrated lanyard slot enhances both functionality and style, while the stainless steel pocket clip provides secure tip-up carry for quick access throughout the day. Measuring 4.49 inches closed, the Tuna offers a comfortable size that carries easily while providing a full, confident grip during use.
As an added bonus, this knife includes the original G-10 handle scale, allowing owners to retain the factory component alongside the custom upgrade. Please note that because this knife has been customized by the SMKW Custom Team, the original CRKT factory warranty has been voided. Any questions regarding this exclusive custom model should be directed to SMKW.
Combining dependable CRKT engineering with handcrafted custom artistry, the Tuna Framelock SMKW Custom Copper Shipwreck Edition is an exceptional blend of performance, individuality, and collectible appeal that stands apart from ordinary production folders.
