The CRKT Padawan Wharncliffe is a 3.01-inch folding knife from Columbia River (brand part no. 6075), the utility-focused sibling to Pedro Buzetti’s first CRKT design. Instead of a drop point, this version carries a wharncliffe blade ground from 14C28N stainless steel with a brushed satin finish, giving a straight edge that is easy to control for detail cutting. A stainless steel handle with G10 overlay adds grip and stands up to heavy use, while a modified frame lock keeps the blade secure and prevents over-travel when the knife is under load. A low-riding pocket clip keeps it tucked out of the way in the pocket until it is needed.
