The Poikilo Blade x Vulpex Knives Crab Standard DLC Folding Knife is a premium collaboration that combines Poikilo Blade's precision engineering with Vulpex Knives' innovative design to create a compact everyday carry folder built for serious performance. Designed for enthusiasts who expect top-tier materials, refined craftsmanship, and dependable functionality, the Crab delivers outstanding cutting capability in a lightweight, pocket-friendly package. Every detail has been carefully engineered to provide the reliability needed for everyday use while showcasing the quality expected from a collaboration between two respected makers.
The heart of the Crab is a 3.11" sheepsfoot blade crafted from premium M398 stainless steel, one of the finest modern blade steels available. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, M398 is designed to maintain a razor-sharp edge through extended use while requiring minimal maintenance. The sheepsfoot blade profile provides excellent control for precision work, slicing tasks, and everyday utility, while its straight cutting edge offers consistent cutting performance across a variety of materials. A flat V-grind delivers an excellent balance of sharpness, durability, and slicing efficiency, making the blade equally capable of delicate cuts and demanding everyday tasks. Finished with a durable DLC coating, the blade gains enhanced scratch resistance and an attractive low-profile appearance that complements the knife's rugged character while providing added protection against wear.
Deployment is fast and intuitive with your choice of a thumb hole or frontal opening method. Both opening options provide smooth, reliable action, allowing the blade to deploy confidently whenever it's needed. Once fully open, the titanium framelock securely engages, delivering solid lockup and dependable strength. Trusted for its simplicity, durability, and long-term reliability, the framelock offers the confidence everyday carry users expect from a premium folding knife.
The titanium handle provides exceptional durability while keeping overall weight at an easy-to-carry 3.80 ounces. Measuring 4.59" long and 0.48" wide, it offers a slim, ergonomic grip that feels secure in hand without creating unnecessary bulk in the pocket. Titanium's impressive strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make it an outstanding choice for a premium folder, while the precision-machined construction reinforces the Crab's refined, modern appearance. The clean titanium finish contrasts beautifully with the black DLC blade, creating a striking look that's both functional and sophisticated.
Configured for right-hand, tip-up carry, the Crab remains ready for quick deployment throughout the day. Its 7.70" overall length offers an ideal combination of portability, control, and cutting capability, making it an excellent companion for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or collection-worthy display. As a collaboration between Poikilo Blade and Vulpex Knives, the Crab reflects a shared dedication to premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and uncompromising craftsmanship.
