If you were a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadephia in 1787, you would feel right at home with our new line of gentleman's folders, so we're calling it the Delegate™ line. Classic knifemaking tradition comes through in their understated design and use of natural materials.
But like the Founding Fathers, there is a revolutionary aspect to this line. We have incorporated our OutBurst® assist with our patent-pending* Fire Safe™ release mechanism which is built into the thumb stud.
When the blade is closed, it is securely held in place by the OutBurst spring bias, and is also locked in place by the Fire Safe pin in the locking liner, which engages the blade.
To open the blade, simply press in on the Fire Safe thumb stud, and rotate it forward to begin blade opening. Once the blade is open approximately 30 degrees, the OutBurst assist takes over and instantly completes the opening action. In practice, one-handed opening is a fast, single movement of the thumb.
This system provides exceptional safety because it is very difficult, if not impossible, to open the blade accidentally. Bumping or pressing the thumb stud does nothing. The user must know the secret rotating action to open the blade.
Delegate™ EDC 1055. This larger Delegate model has a 3.125" drop point blade of premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. Our rigid InterFrame build uses stainless steel liners, one locking, with black anodized 6061 aluminum bolsters and inlaid scales. The bright model 1055 has a satin blade and white bone scale inlays. It features a high-mounted stainless steel clip.
My dad taught me how to use and carry a knife since I was probably 9 or 10 yrs old. I always had a Case XX in my pocket. I have most all of his and my knives today and will pass them on accordingly. This is my first CRKT and I could not be more pleased with it. It is also my first "assisted" opening knife. I took little time to get the hang of opening. The blade is incredibly sharp and seems to be very strong. More than likely will not be the last CRKT I buy.

Not the most expensive knife CRKT makes, however this blade is astonishing. Nice fluid opening, very consistent. Not very large, but not too small, perfect for Just about any job you may need it for. Super lightweight, and a very simple yet classy look. Not too flashy. For the price of this knife you can't go wrong for a daily carrier.
