The CRKT 1055W Delegate is a gentleman's folder with a classic look where understated design and natural materials combine for a knife that looks great wherever you decide to carry it. With the OutBurst assist mechanism and the patent-pending* Fire Safe release mechanism built into the thumb stud, this knife opens fast and locks up tight. When the blade is closed, it is securely held in place by the OutBurst spring bias, and is also locked in place by the Fire Safe pin in the locking liner, which engages the blade. To open the blade, simply press in on the Fire Safe thumb stud, and rotate it forward to begin blade opening. Once the blade is open approximately 30 degrees, the OutBurst assist takes over and instantly completes the opening action. In practice, one-handed opening is a fast, single movement of the thumb. This larger Delegate model has a 3.125" drop point blade of premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel. Our rigid InterFrame build uses stainless steel liners, one locking, with black anodized 6061 aluminum bolsters and inlaid scales. The dark model 1055W has a black oxide-coated blade with cocobolo wood scales. It features a high-mounted stainless steel clip.
