Pat Crawford, who operates Crawford Knives in West Memphis, Arkansas, with his son Wes, is a mellow and soft-spoken custom knifemaker. But there is nothing mellow about his custom Triumph™ Folder which Pat calls, "a fast cutting machine for professionals."
He says, "I was impressed by the strength and slashing ability of a reverse-curve Tanto blade, so that was where I started designing the Triumph. It has a different look, not as art, but as an entirely functional shape."
Like Pat's customs, our production Triumph Folder is a large and formidable tactical knife designed for grip, with double finger choils, thumb friction grooves and deeply grooved G10 scales. The 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, are a hefty 0.1" thick.
The beefy 0.14" thick blade is a dual-grind Tanto with a recurve to aid cutting and a false top edge grind for penetrating power. Blade steel is premium AUS 8 stainless steel. Both Razor-Sharp as well as Combined Razor-Sharp and our exclusive patented Veff™ Serrated edges are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly.
The Triumph Folder features our patented OutBurst™ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees.
To maximize safety, we built in our exclusive patented AutoLAWKS™ safety that automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked, creating a virtual fixed blade instantly.
The "TS" series features a camo tiger-striped non-reflective blade with black G10 scales. Diagonal CNC-machined grooves in the G10 give excellent grip in wet and muddy conditions.
The black stainless steel clip is removable.
As Pat Crawford says, "Speak softly, and carry a big Triumph."
U.S. Patent No. D559,939

Its easy to open in a pinch and the serrated edge really does bite in the line but its rust/corrodes just a little to easy

I recently purchased the 1031TS model and have got to say that it is truly a remarkable knife The way the G-10 scales are designed make the Triumph totally slip-free when being held in the hand and the Outburst assist is very helpful as well. While holding the knife in the hammer-fist position, it comfortably molds to your hand. The liner lock definitely holds in place, sometimes causing the user to exert a little bit more force to push aside, but safety is always good. Either way, the knife came razor sharp out of the box and the "teeth" can definitely rip things apart. This knife is incredible
