The CRKT 2560 Ibis delivers precision cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package that fits seamlessly into professional and personal environments. This folding knife combines Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with ergonomic G10 construction for reliable daily use. The stonewashed finish reduces glare while providing enhanced corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The Ibis stands apart with its premium Sandvik 14C28N steel blade that maintains sharpness significantly longer than standard 440A or 8Cr13MoV steels commonly found in this price range. The drop point geometry provides maximum cutting efficiency with a fine tip for detail work, while the 3.09-inch blade length offers versatility without bulk. The blue G10 handle scales bonded to stainless steel liners create a lightweight yet rigid platform that won't flex under pressure.
