This new sport and work folder series embodies everything that we look for in a CRKT product: rugged construction, premium blade steel, good grip and balance, striking design and superfast assisted opening. All these qualities come together in a knife group that is also very competitively priced. We think it's a line that's really going to take off, so we're calling it the Lift Off™.
The Lift Off models are full-size work and sport knives with 4.88" handles and 3.50" blades. They're solid, heavy-duty knives at 5.2 ounces.
This is a knife for those who want a bit of style and shine in their personal carry. At its core is our InterFrame build with stainless steel liners, one locking, with textured black glass filled nylon scales. The left scale features a stainless steel insert with a bright brushed finish and deep arrow pattern. In addition, both liners feature fine friction grooves at the finger contact zone.
The blade is a satin-finished modified drop point design with a notched and swedged top edge and a high hollow grind. Blade steel is our favorite premium stainless steel alloy, AUS 8. The Lift Off is available in both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edged models.
To give instant one-hand opening, we have incorporated our patented OutBurst™ assisted opening with the patent-pending Fire Safe™ mechanism. When closed, the blade is safely locked by the Fire Safe pin. It cannot be opened until the safety button on the end of the thumb stud is firmly depressed and the thumb stud is nudged outward. Just press and nudge for instant lift off. It is both very fast, and very safe, because simply pressing the Fire Safe button does not open the knife. You must both press down and nudge the blade outward deliberately before the Lift Off will open. Caution: When closing the knife, always press firmly to fully close the blade, and be sure the Fire Safe pin locks into place securely with an audible "click".
Lift Off models include a removable polished stainless steel clip.
My first assisted opening knife and it is taking some getting used too. With that being said this is a great knife and I would recommend to anyone looking a knife to carry everyday.

This is an all around good knife. I've had it for a few weeks and like it. the fire safe is a great safety device to have to go along with the outburst. i have owned other knives with an assisted opening device and they take too long just to unlock the safety and get the knife open. If i had to name one thing that i didn't like it would have to be the grip, with the metal design on some side it slips a bit, took a little getting used to. i do see myself owning this for a long time, CRKT is one of the brands that i have grown to like on style and function.

I simply love this knife.I think it has a great grip and the outburst is always great. I dont own a blade that does not have that option. The Lift Off is a durable piece. Love the design on one side styling of the handle....Knarly

I had this knife for a few weeks and I like it very much, why ? I am an electrician and appreciate the quick opening blade and most of all the safety of a secure blade locking device. This prevents opening in my pocket like some other folders I have in my collection. Yes, the knife is conductive, I do not use it in or around live circuits the same as with any metallic tool. Excellent quality, good build and very fast blade assist, a great EDC
