Crkt Drifter 2.875" Fine Edge - Blade<

The CRKT Drifter 2.875" Fine Edge folding knife is a compact, everyday carry tool engineered for mechanics, technicians, and outdoor professionals who demand reliable blade performance in confined spaces. Built on CRKT's reputation for durability, this fine-edge blade delivers precision cutting capability in a package small enough to slip into a work bag, glove compartment, or shop vest. Whether you're slicing through gasket material, opening boxes on the service line, or performing detailed work around the engine bay, the Drifter offers the control and edge retention serious craftspeople expect.

At the heart of this knife is a satin-finished 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade measuring 2.875 inches—a size optimized for intricate tasks without excessive bulk when folded to 3.625 inches. The high hollow drop point geometry concentrates cutting force while the fine edge grind maximizes slicing efficiency on soft and composite materials common in automotive work, from weatherstripping to interior trim. A full-length stainless steel handle paired with a frame lock safety mechanism ensures secure one-handed operation, critical when your other hand is occupied with vehicle components or diagnostic work. The integrated pocket clip enables quick deployment and secure carry.

Mechanics and technicians benefit most from the Drifter's balance of portability and functionality—it occupies minimal space in tool rolls yet opens to a usable 6.5 inches for leverage and control. The fine edge design makes it especially effective for precision cutting tasks where a serrated blade would be excessive, such as separating gasket material, cutting zip ties in engine bays, or trimming weatherstripping during interior work. At just 0.15 lbs, it adds negligible weight to your daily carry, making it an essential backup blade for anyone working in high-demand environments where reliability cannot be compromised.
