The CRKT 2520 Tuna delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife combines practical blade geometry with durable construction materials for consistent field performance. The stonewashed finish provides corrosion resistance while reducing glare during use.
What Makes This Different
The Tuna features a modified drop point blade profile optimized for utility cutting tasks rather than aggressive tactical applications. The 8Cr14MoV stainless steel holds a working edge longer than standard 440 series steels while maintaining easy resharpening characteristics. The dual-material handle construction balances grip security with weight reduction compared to all-steel frame designs.
