NOTE: We only have one of these knives available and it is the one that is pictured. Never used, carried or sharpened. It is a late 1990's vintage purchased directly from Pat Crawford at Blade Show West.
Pat and Wes Crawford out of West Memphis, Arkansas are a father and son team that pride themselves on their 100% handmade custom knives. Their shop has the capabilities to produce all their own parts and they hand grind and hand fit and finish every component. You're probably familiar with some Crawford designs produced by CRKT. These are just as functional but take that simplistic CRKT design and make them really pop!
This custom Mini Wortac by Crawford is a collaboration with Kelly Worden. The clip point blade is made from ATS-34 stainless with a mirror polished finish and with a false top edge and dual thumbstuds. The black G10 handle scales are ergonomic. The titanium liners are perfectly jimped with traction grooves on the thumb ramp and butt and a titanium back spacer. Nice detent, lockup and blade seating. Comes with a zippered case.
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.
