The CRKT Drifter is a 2.88-inch folding knife from Columbia River (brand part no. 6450D2C), and this version upgrades the workhorse Drifter platform with a D2 tool steel blade for better edge retention through hard use. The drop point blade wears a silver satin finish, and the black G10 handle keeps the grip secure and low-maintenance whether the knife rides in a pocket, toolbox, or glove box. It is a simple, honest design, built more for cutting rope, tape, and packaging than for looks, and it carries well thanks to its compact size.
