From CRKT
In 2008, Ken Onion and CRKT unveiled Field Strip Technology. The first of its kind, this revolutionary innovation made it possible to disassemble your knife easily, without tools. It quickly grabbed the attention of the knife community and became a decorated, award-winning design.
Enter the next generation: It’s simpler to use than ever before. Reinvented with one-handed slide lever releases and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, Field Strip Gen II is bound to live up to its name.
In the new 2021 lineup, the Bona Fide™ and the Cottidae™ both feature Field Strip Gen II. The Bona Fide™ is Ken’s own creation—he designed the three-knife line (the Bona Fide™, the Bona Fide™ With S35VN Blade Steel, and the Bona Fide™ OD Green) to pay homage to his Hawaiian roots with a handle crafted to look like a traditional Hawaiian wa’a or canoe.
The Cottidae™ is a design created by Jesper Voxnaes to be a compact, stout mechanic’s knife. It’s crafted to be the ideal tool for scraping gaskets, slicing open boxes, and easily coming apart for simple cleaning when grease starts to slow it down.
This is innovation. This is Field Strip Gen II.
HOW FIELD STRIP GEN II WORKS
Slide the lever up to disassemble, easily releasing the knife into three components. Place the blade between the two handles in the closed position and slide the lever down to reassemble.
Keep an eye out for the full lineup of new Field Strip Gen II knives in the CRKT® 2021 release.
