Never underestimate an apprentice.
Introducing: the Padawan. Pedro Buzetti's first design with CRKT, this capable folding knife is available in two versions. The 6075 was made for utility, with a Wharncliffe blade made from 14C28N steel and a G10 overlay on the handle to withstand heavy use. The frame lock was modified to keep the blade secure and prevent over-traveling, and the clip lets the knife sit low in the pocket. Why name it the Padawan? As an apprentice of renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma -- known to some as the "Master" -- Buzetti's role as "padawan" was the perfect inspiration to debut his first design.
