The Poikilo Blade x Christensen Knifeworks Casque Folder Standard PSW Black 1P is a premium collaboration that showcases exceptional craftsmanship, cutting-edge materials, and clean, modern styling. Designed for enthusiasts who expect top-tier performance from their everyday carry, this folder delivers the durability, precision, and refined aesthetics that define both Poikilo Blade and Christensen Knifeworks. From the premium blade steel to its sleek titanium construction, every detail has been engineered to provide years of dependable service.
The centerpiece of the Casque is its 3.30" tanto blade, precision-machined from premium M398 stainless steel. Highly regarded for its remarkable edge retention, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, M398 is built to tackle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining an exceptionally sharp edge. The reinforced tanto profile provides superior piercing strength and tip durability, making it ideal for both everyday utility and more demanding applications. Paired with a flat V-grind, the blade delivers clean slicing performance while preserving the toughness expected from a hard-use folder. Finished in a Pearlescent Stonewash (PSW), the blade features a refined appearance that subtly shifts in the light while effectively masking scratches and signs of regular use.
Fast, reliable deployment comes from your choice of a thumb stud or frontal opening method, allowing smooth operation to match your preferred opening style. Once fully deployed, the inset lock securely engages the blade with a hardened steel insert that minimizes wear and promotes long-lasting, dependable lockup. This advanced locking system combines the slim profile of a titanium frame with the durability and consistency that serious knife users appreciate.
The titanium handle offers an outstanding combination of lightweight strength and corrosion resistance while providing a solid, confidence-inspiring grip. Measuring 4.46" long and 0.52" wide, it maintains a streamlined profile that carries comfortably throughout the day. The silver titanium handle is accented with a clean single-piece black inlay that creates a subtle appearance, emphasizing the knife's modern lines and premium construction. Weighing just 4.80 ounces, the Casque feels substantial enough for demanding work while remaining comfortable in the pocket during everyday carry.
Configured for right-hand, tip-up carry, the Casque is always positioned for quick access whenever the need arises. Its 7.77" overall length provides an excellent balance of portability and cutting capability, making it equally suited for daily utility, outdoor adventures, or display in a high-end knife collection. As part of the Collaboration Series, this knife reflects the shared dedication of Poikilo Blade and Christensen Knifeworks to innovative design, exceptional fit and finish, and uncompromising quality.
The Poikilo Blade x Christensen Knifeworks Casque Folder Standard PSW Black 1P combines premium materials, rugged performance, and understated elegance into a folding knife that's built to excel every time it's called into action.
