CRKT Kova™ Black 8Cr13MoV Folding Knife

Introducing the Kova™, a classic knife with a tough edge. Designed by veteran knife designer Ken Steigerwalt, this folding knife is built to endure everyday tasks and challenges. The name Kova™ comes from Finnish origin, meaning "tough, hard, or demanding a lot of effort to endure." Ken Steigerwalt, with 35 years of knife designing experience, brings his innovative touch to the Kova™. Inspired by older style midlock and backlock folders, Ken opted for a front lock design using the knife's liners as springs. This not only adds strength and durability but also creates more space for the blade. The simplified internal mechanism also enhances the knife's exterior composition, making it more convenient to hold and reducing the need to change your grip when opening or closing. The Kova™ features a 3.5" drop point blade and glass-reinforced nylon handles with subtle pattern work. It is designed to be a dependable everyday carry. With its front lock design, both right and left-handed users will find it easy to open and close the knife with a single hand. If you're in need of an everyday savior, look no further than the Kova™. Its strength and simplicity make it the perfect choice.
