Crusader Forge APEX Frame-Lock Chisel Ground Blade, "One Of One", Phantom Finish (SOLD)
$0.00
Brand New and direct from Crusader Forge is this "One Of One", APEX frame-lock folder. Crusader Forge Custom Knives
are designed for extreme and hard use. All Crusader Forge knives are
100% custom handcrafted by master bladesmith and designer, Maciej
Szczerbiak. They are 100%
made in U.S.A. from domestic steel and materials. His blade material is
Triple Tempered CPM S30V Stainless Steel with an HRC of
59-60. Each Crusader Forge knife handle is custom fabricated. They
are custom textured to ensure positive hold,
regardless of your grip configuration. The handles are fastened to the
knife using Stainless Steel Fasteners with Torx ™ T25 drive for maximum
strength. Each knife design is prototyped and
function tested against various materials such as wood, rope, muscle,
bone, sheet metal and anything else Maciej may have left in the shop
that has reached
the end of its useful life. Edge holding characteristics, transverse
toughness and cutting ability are all evaluated prior to finalizing a
knife design.
This APEX is "One Of One" - and is stated so on the included COA. It is unique because it is an APEX "CG" - it has a chisel ground blade. The grinds on this blade are amazing. The blade also has a unique 3 depressed "hole" thumb opener (not an actual hole through the steel), and there is a thumb notch above the last depression. It also features a hand sculpted full titanium frame, and the blade is made from CPM S30V steel. The entire knife is done in Maciej's signature PHANTOM finish. The blade can be easily deployed with one hand, using whichever hole gives you the correct angle and leverage. The frame-lock holds the blade open rock solid - no movement whatsoever. The blade is seated perfectly in the handle when closed. The blade is 0.253" thick, and the handle scales are each 0.156" thick, giving it a nice profile for pocket carry. The knife comes in a Crusader Forge box, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Maciej, as well as the pictured Crusader Forge patch.
Condition: Brand New From Maker. MINT!
