CRKT Clever Girl FAQ

Designed by Austin McGlaun as part of the Forged by War program, the CRKT Clever Girl series delivers combat-ready performance across fixed blades, folders, and kukri models. These knives prioritize aggressive ergonomics and high-traction G10 handles for reliable use in demanding environments.

What is the CRKT Clever Girl series designed for?
The CRKT Clever Girl was originally designed for tactical and combat situations in close-quarters environments. While primarily built for defensive use, the upswept blade profile and acute hollow grind make the Clever Girl series effective for hunting and tasks requiring long, deep slicing cuts.
What steel is used in Clever Girl knives?
The steel varies depending on the specific model within the series. Folding versions typically use D2 tool steel for its edge retention, while the fixed blade and kukri variants utilize SK5 carbon steel, which is known for its toughness in high-impact scenarios.
How does the Deadbolt lock function on the folder?
The Deadbolt lock features an oversized push-button pivot that releases two steel bars forming a U-shape. These bars interlock with the blade tang, providing a high-strength connection with no blade play and keeping fingers out of the path of the edge during closure.
What are the handle ergonomics like on this series?
Every knife in the CRKT Clever Girl series features G10 handle scales with deep diagonal ridges for maximum traction. The handles are designed with a full grip and a curved back to ensure retention during draw strokes and heavy use, even when wearing gloves or working in low-light conditions.
Does the Clever Girl folder support left-handed carry?
Yes, the folding model includes a reversible pocket clip for either right or left-hand carry. While the Deadbolt lock itself is biased toward right-handed operation, it can still be manipulated with the left hand, and the blade features dual thumb studs for ambidextrous opening.
