The CRKT K221KKP Foresight combines spring-assisted opening with a versatile modified drop point blade for reliable everyday carry performance. This folding knife features a 3.53-inch 4116 stainless steel blade with black stonewashed finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
What Makes This Different
The Foresight's assisted opening mechanism provides rapid one-handed deployment while maintaining legal compliance in most jurisdictions. Unlike manual folders that require two-handed operation, the spring-assist system engages once the blade reaches approximately 30 degrees of opening. The modified drop point geometry offers enhanced piercing capability compared to standard drop point designs while retaining the belly curve for effective slicing tasks.
Key Features
- Spring-assisted opening for rapid one-handed deployment
- 3.53-inch 4116 stainless steel blade with black stonewashed finish
- Modified drop point blade geometry for versatile cutting tasks
- Contoured glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle for secure grip
- Integrated pocket clip for tip-up carry configuration
- Blade safety lock prevents accidental closure during use
- Overall length approximately 8.5 inches when fully opened
The 4116 stainless steel blade composition provides corrosion resistance suitable for marine environments and humid conditions. The black stonewashed finish reduces glare and helps conceal minor scratches that occur during regular use. Field testing demonstrates reliable opening action in temperatures ranging from -10°F to 120°F, making this knife suitable for outdoor work, tactical applications, and general utility tasks.
