Crusader Forge Tactical Liner-Lock Folding Knife, 3D Blade Finish
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 liner-lock tactical folding knife could be an early iteration of the VIS T model. No COA, so I cannot say for certain. The profile of the blade and handle resemble the VIS T. The knife features a CPM S30V drop point blade with a 3D stripe finish and sculpted black G10 handle scales. The tip-up mounted pocket clip also has a 3D finish. It can be reversed for tip-down carry. The clip and liner do have some scuffs, leading me to assume that the knife has seen some pocket time. Dual thumbstuds, as well. The liner holds the blade open rock solid - no movement whatsoever. The blade does favor the presentation side when closed but does not touch the handle. There is some lock-stick, commonly found with Crusader Forge's heavy-duty folders. This is a hard use, beefy knife ready to take on anything you throw at it. This knife is previously owned, and in excellent condition - nothing noteworthy other than the previously mentioned clip and liner. The blade/edge looks original. The knife will come in a padded, zippered case.
