The CRKT 4037 Razel delivers precision cutting performance with its distinctive chisel-ground blade geometry and premium D2 tool steel construction. This fixed blade knife combines Jon Graham's innovative design philosophy with CRKT's manufacturing expertise to create a versatile cutting tool that excels in both utility and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The Razel's unique chisel grind eliminates the secondary bevel found on traditional knives, creating a razor-sharp edge that maintains its geometry through repeated sharpenings. D2 tool steel provides exceptional edge retention with a hardness rating of 60-62 HRC, significantly outperforming standard stainless steels in cutting tasks. The weathered resin-infused fiber handle offers superior grip texture and moisture resistance compared to traditional G10 or Micarta scales.
Key Features
- 2.97-inch D2 tool steel blade with chisel grind for superior edge retention
