CAUTIONS FOR KNIFE BUYERS.

Limitations on availability.

Some CRKT models shown on this web site may not be available in your area because of local regulations which limit blade length, blade edges, assisted opening or other features.

Caution.

MISUSE OF YOUR KNIFE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. KEEP THIS KNIFE AWAY FROM YOUNGER CHILDREN AND PROVIDE KNIFE SAFETY TRAINING BEFORE ALLOWING OLDER CHILDREN TO USE A KNIFE. READ ALL THE KNIFE CARE INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR KNIFE.

Safety Do’s and Don’ts.

Misuse of your knife can cause serious injury or even death. It can also cause your knife to break or fail, and the CRKT limited lifetime warranty will not apply. Failure to properly maintain your knife also may cause its mechanisms to not function properly, which could result in injury to you, or damage to the knife. So, follow these do’s and don'ts and the knife will last longer, and you'll be safer too:

Don't:
1. DON'T use the knife for any task other than cutting. You'll be disappointed with its performance, you could injure yourself or damage the knife, and you will void the CRKT limited lifetime warranty. (The exceptions to this caution are the A.B.C. Aqua and MAK-1 Multiple Access Knife which have tips designed specifically for prying.)
2. DON’T sharpen the back side (flat side which seals against the frame) of single-edged K.I.S.S.® and P.E.C.K.® knives.

Do:
1. DO keep the cutting edge sharp. A cutting tool works better and is safer to use when it is sharp.
2. DO regularly clean the blade with mild soap and water and apply a light coat of machine oil or Tuf-Cloth™. Stainless steels “stain less” but still may corrode without care.
3. DO periodically lubricate the blade pivot area of any folding knife. Although many CRKT knives feature Teflon® bearings, a drop of lubricant such as Tuf-Glide™ or Break-Free® CLP®, or a light machine oil, at the pivot points will help the blade open and close more smoothly and safely.
4. DO periodically check the tightness of the blade pivot area and the frame fasteners of any folding knife with the appropriate screw driver, Allen™ or Torx® wrench. Given time and hard use, all screws can loosen slightly.

A note about specifications on this web site and in our catalogs.

Blade lengths are measured according to 2006 American Knife and Tool Institute guidelines.

Colors and textures in photographs are as close as modern reproduction processes permit, but variations occur in finishing processes such as anodizing and titanium nitride coating and in natural materials such as leather and ray skin, so visit your local CRKT retailer and view actual products under natural lighting conditions to ensure complete satisfaction.
