Columbia River Padawan 3.01" Folding Wharncliffe Plain Brushed Satin 14C28N Frame Lock Knife

The Columbia River (CRKT) Padawan is a no-nonsense utility folder built around a 3.01" Wharncliffe blade and a sturdy frame lock platform. Designed by Pedro Buzetti, the blade is cut from 14C28N stainless steel and carries a clean brushed satin finish with a plain cutting edge, making it a capable everyday cutter for daily carry, package work, and general-purpose tasks.

The Padawan's stainless steel handles are fitted with black G10 overlays for additional grip texture and security in the hand. An integral flipper tab delivers fast, one-handed deployment, while the frame lock keeps the blade solidly anchored under load. Weighing in at 3.10 oz with a closed length of 4.14" and an overall length of 7.13", the Padawan is a compact, hand-filling folder that disappears in the pocket without weighing you down.
