The Poikilo Blade x Vulpex Knives Crab Standard PSW Folding Knife is a premium collaboration that brings together Poikilo Blade's precision engineering and Vulpex Knives' innovative design philosophy to create a compact, high-performance everyday carry folder. Built for enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional materials, refined craftsmanship, and practical functionality, the Crab is engineered to excel in daily use while offering the premium fit and finish expected from a top-tier collaboration. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality, making this folder equally at home in your pocket or your collection.
At the heart of the Crab is a 3.11" sheepsfoot blade crafted from premium M398 stainless steel. Renowned for its extraordinary edge retention, outstanding wear resistance, and impressive corrosion resistance, M398 is one of the finest blade steels available for serious everyday carry. Designed to maintain a razor-sharp edge through extended use, it provides exceptional cutting performance while requiring minimal maintenance. The sheepsfoot blade profile delivers outstanding control and precision, making it ideal for slicing, utility work, and detailed cutting tasks where accuracy matters. Its straight cutting edge offers excellent contact with the material, while the flat V-grind creates an efficient, durable edge that balances slicing performance with long-term strength. Finished in Pearlescent Stonewash (PSW), the blade features a refined finish that subtly catches the light while helping conceal scratches and everyday wear, ensuring the knife retains its premium appearance through years of use.
Deployment is smooth, fast, and intuitive with your choice of a thumb hole or frontal opening method. Whether you prefer deliberate manual opening or quick deployment, the Crab responds confidently and consistently. Once open, the titanium framelock securely engages the blade, providing rock-solid lockup and dependable strength. Simple, durable, and proven, the framelock is trusted by everyday carry enthusiasts for its reliability and long service life.
The titanium handle delivers exceptional durability while keeping overall weight to a comfortable 3.80 ounces. Measuring 4.59" long and 0.48" wide, it provides a secure, ergonomic grip without unnecessary bulk, making the Crab an ideal companion for everyday pocket carry. Titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio along with outstanding corrosion resistance, ensuring the handle performs as well as it looks. Its clean, precision-machined construction complements the premium blade while giving the knife a modern, understated appearance worthy of a collaboration between two respected makers.
Configured for right-hand, tip-up carry, the Crab remains ready for quick deployment whenever the job calls. Its 7.70" overall length strikes an ideal balance between compact portability and practical cutting capability, making it equally suited for everyday utility, outdoor adventures, or collection-worthy display. As a collaboration between Poikilo Blade and Vulpex Knives, the Crab represents a shared dedication to premium materials, innovative engineering, and uncompromising craftsmanship.
The Poikilo Blade x Vulpex Knives Crab Standard PSW Folding Knife combines a pearlescent stonewashed M398 blade, lightweight titanium construction, and precision engineering in a premium collaboration built for everyday performance.
