## Overview

The Cold Steel Crawford Model 1 is a premium collaboration with custom knife maker Wes Crawford, offering a 3.5-inch hollow-ground Japanese 4034 stainless steel blade with a wide saber grind for superior cutting performance. Featuring an integrated flipper for lightning-fast opening, a durable glass-reinforced nylon handle with traction rubber inlays, and a dual safety lock system, this folding knife balances professional-grade functionality with everyday carry convenience at an accessible price point.

## Description

Wes Crawford, the custom knife maker, has been a friend of Cold Steel for years, so we were happy to collaborate with him on the creation of an inexpensive version of one of his pricey custom “flippers”. The result was our new Crawford Model 1. Strongly resembling Wes’s custom knife, the blade features a wide saber grind and a strong, sharp point with plenty of belly for cutting and slashing. It’s made from Japanese 4034 Stainless and is hollow ground to a thin, razor edge that will cut at the slightest touch. And, because Wes’s “flipper” is integrated into the tang, it can be opened lightning fast! The handle of the Crawford Model 1 mimics Wes’s original’s profile and silhouette but is made from a strong (yet economical), glass reinforced nylon that includes traction rubber inlays, and a low-profile pocket clip. To keep your fingers safe from potential harm, we have equipped the Crawford 1 with our leaf spring lock, and a (patent pending) secondary safety mechanism that, when engaged is extremely resistant to shock and impact.

Review: Blade holds an edge nicely (I’m not easy on knives), the grip feels good in the hand and the lock functions great. I only wish it was assisted open. It opens pretty good, but I like a nice spring action. Other than that, I really don’t have anything to say. It’s my first Cold Steel knife l, but I really like it. I’m coming from a Kershaw blade. The first one I had I loved, but I lost it and replaced it with the same kind (again I loved it) and the blade was far less good. Wouldn’t stay sharp. This was about 3-4 years later so maybe they aren’t made as good. Moving to this Cold Steel it has held up well. The blade was pretty sharp out of the box. I honed it just a bit and then stropped it and it’s been good for about 5 weeks. It’s just now needing to be sharpened up. The lock feature is nice, it’s my first one, I’m of the kind that if you’re worried a blade might force closed on you then you need a different tool. So I honestly forget about it a lot. Used it twice just messing around testing it and I feel like you would have to catastrophically break the knife to make the lock break.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: But this does not have the famous, patented, and best reason to buy a cold steel folder...a tri-ad lock, right?**
A: It doesnt. It has a rocker lock which basically is a little switch that slides behind the lockbar to ensure it doesnt fail. Its still a solid knife with a great and functional design. But i wouldnt put it in the same league as Tri-Ad locks.

**Q: How wide is the blade? The recon knife blade is very wide**
A: 1inch wide not quite as wide as a Recon. Recon Is 1 1/4 wide thickness about the same on both

**Q: What is the blade length?**
A: 3 1/2" long blade

**Q: Doesn’t weight matter when you are carrying it?  So much so that shouldn’t the specs include the weight of of what you will be carrying?**
A: I think the specs for an EDC knife should always include the weight.  Many don't...

Ein kleiner Schneidteufel! Out of the box scharf und die gesamte Verarbeitung wie man es von Cold Steel gewohnt ist. Leicht, sehr gut bedienbar, toller Stahl, der die Schärfe auch bei Lagerfeuerarbeiten lange hält.
