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, CRKT's 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 Columbia River exclusive 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 is available with CRKT's patented (1) OutBurst™ assisted
opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open
after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees.
To maximize
safety, CRKT built in their exclusive patented (2) AutoLAWKS™
that automatically actuates when the folder is opened and locked,
creating a virtual fixed blade instantly.
Two color schemes
are available. The “K” series has a matte black EDP coated
blade with special black and green G10 scales. 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 Triumph
is fully ambidextrous, with dual thumb studs that allow fast either-hand
opening. The two-position black Teflon®-plated stainless clip
is removable and allows left or right tip-down carry.
As Pat Crawford
says, “Speak softly, and carry a big Triumph.”
