Pat Crawford Custom Tanto Neck Knife Fixed (2.625 Inch ATS-34 Tanto Plain Bead Blasted Blade) Skeletonized Handle + Kydex Sheath CK-TANTO

This late 1990's vintage Custom Crawford Tanto Neck Knife is brand new and sold without a box. It was purchased directly from Pat Crawford at the Blade Show West. This knife was handmade by Pat Crawford from a billet of ATS-34 stainless steel with Pat's signature skeletonized handle with a traction grooved thumb. The tanto blade is 2.625 inches long. The knife comes with a Kydex sheath with a beaded chain for neck carry. The included bead chain enables covert neck carry. This highly collectible knife is a great backup weapon and a collectible knife.

NOTE: We only have one of these knives available and it is the one that is pictured. Never used, carried or sharpened. It has been in the sheath so there are some minor kydex marks.

Pat Crawford and his son Wes are recognized as leading practitioners of the bladesmith's craft. Their company, Crawford Knives, is located in West Memphis, Arkansas. Pat, a pioneer in the combat folder genre, has been a member of the Knifemakers' Guild since 1973. He was among the first to integrate titanium into his folder, and to skeletonize his frames and handles to reduce weight and enhance the grip of the knife. He uses the stock removal method, specializing in high tech, self defense tactical folders, favoring different and unique knives. Handle materials include wood, ivory, stag horn, micarta, and other exotic materials when available. Pat says, "The reason I make knives is for the personal satisfaction I receive in being my own boss, and producing a thing of beauty that will stand the test of time." Pat designed the CRKT Point Guard, Crawford / Kasper Folders and Falcon series.
