The CRKT Cottidae Folding Knife is a compact, stout technician’s knife equipped to handle dirty jobs. Built with Field Strip Gen II, it quickly comes apart without tools for easy cleaning even when it meets oil and grease. The Cottidae's ball-bearing pivot deploys the blade quickly and smoothly. The D2 blade steel is ideal for edge retention, and the knife's aluminum handle provides strength with minimal weight. The adjustable clip allows users to carry the knife with their right or left hand.
