C/K Dragon PR

of its fixed blade knife/sheath system, the C/K Dragon™. Bob Kasper, the late writer and

combat instructor, designed the basic outline of the C/K Dragon after ten years of study into

the principles of extreme in-close fighting developed by Dr. Gordon Eric Perrigard over

fifty years ago. These techniques use automatic conditioned reflexes with minimal body

movement. The knife is considered as part of the hand.

Bob sent his sketch to award-winning custom knifemakers Pat and Wes Crawford of

Crawford Knives in West Memphis, Arkansas, who developed the handle scales. As Pat

Crawford says, “This knife is all business. I hope it will become a part of Bob’s legacy to

the professional martial arts community.”

Like its namesake, the C/K Dragon bites (with the tapered tip), claws (with the long

Wharncliffe cutting edge), and strikes (with the pommel) its adversary. We at CRKT

have engineered our production model to be as close as possible to the Crawford custom

Dragon, which has proven popular with law enforcement and military operators.

The 4.50” full-tang blade has a tapered Wharncliffe grind for great penetrating power.

It is made of exceptionally tough 9Cr18 high-chromium stainless steel to stand up to the

worst abuse.

The handle features a deep finger choil and textured G10 scales with deep diagonal

grooves for optimum grip with gloved hands and under wet conditions, aided by deep

friction grooves at the thumb. At the pommel, a pointed metal hammer tip is useful for

window breaking and other tactical impact needs.

True to Bob Kasper’s concept, this is a knife with perfect balance that truly feels like

part of your hand. Mass is centered at the palm, and the tapered blade tip makes the

Dragon feel like a much smaller knife.

We’ve designed a lightweight Kydex sheath with a patented* multi-position clip, which

can be attached for vertical or horizontal carry on belts, webbing or equipment. Using the

MercHarness carry system, it can be carried comfortably under the arm. There is also a

hole at the butt of the knife for a lanyard or fob.

Despite its tactical intentions, we have found that thanks to its weight, balance, grip and long

precision cutting edge, the Dragon makes a very functional and versatile knife in the shop, too.

Priced at only $89.99, it is also an exceptional value. Enter the C/K Dragon.
