The CRKT Fidus 3.22-inch folding knife in black (CRKT part no. 4220) is a modern everyday carry designed by acclaimed knifemaker Michael Walker, inspired by his own custom designs. Columbia River Knife & Tool named it after the Latin word fidus, meaning trustworthy and loyal, capturing the spirit of a knife built to be relied on day after day.
