Common Questions About the CRKT A.B.C.

The Jim Hammond designed CRKT A.B.C. (All Bases Covered) translates the rugged versatility of the original fixed blade into a compact folding format engineered for rapid response.

What steel is used in the CRKT A.B.C. series?
The CRKT A.B.C. uses Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which is prized for its high toughness and excellent corrosion resistance. While it may not hold an edge quite as long as some high-carbon steels, it is much less likely to chip or break under hard use, especially at the tips of the serrations. You can compare this to other materials in our comprehensive knife steel guide.
What are the benefits of the A.B.C. tanto blade?
The tanto blade profile on the CRKT A.B.C. provides a reinforced point for superior piercing strength and a flat primary edge for efficient slicing. Many models also feature Veff serrations with an aggressive backward rake that excels at heavy pull cuts through rope or webbing. To learn more about why this shape is effective, see our article on tanto blade benefits.
Is the CRKT A.B.C. an assisted opening knife?
Yes, the CRKT A.B.C. features an assisted opening mechanism that allows for swift, one-handed deployment using the flipper tab. The blade is then secured in the open position by a standard liner lock, providing a safe and stable platform for utility or tactical tasks.
How does the CRKT A.B.C. handle feel in the hand?
The CRKT A.B.C. is designed with textured G10 handles and deep finger wraps that provide a secure grip even in slippery conditions. The handle geometry includes a generous choil and jimping on the spine, allowing you to choke up for detailed work or maintain a full, comfortable grip for high-pressure cuts.
What is the carry profile of the CRKT A.B.C.?
The CRKT A.B.C. series is designed for discreet everyday carry with a deep-carry pocket clip. The clip is currently configured for a single-position, right-side, tip-up carry, ensuring the knife sits low and secure in the pocket until it is needed.
