CRKT has given the Pilar III a major upgrade, bringing a touch of flashy style to a workhorse design.
The blade is now made using Sandvik 12C27 steel for better edge retention and sharpness, and features a black coating to increase durability while adding a stylish look.
The handle is still made using G10, but with a hammered texture that is both eye-catching and practical (great for gripping the knife in wet or muddy conditions).
It’s still the hard-working, ultra-versatile folding knife it was originally crafted to be, featuring a smooth-opening IKBS ball bearing pivot and thumb slot for easy one-handed deployment, a thick frame lock to secure the knife, and a pocket clip that keeps it easily reachable.
