CRKT LCK + Tanto Blackout — this folding knife is a collaboration with designer Matthew Lerch. With its sleek, streamlined design, it boasts an impressive tanto blade made of stainless steel, paired with a thermoplastic handle that creates a simple yet complete build.

The blade steel, 8Cr13MoV, is a solid choice for everyday knives. It may not deliver extraordinary performance, but for its price, it offers respectable qualities. It's quite good at resisting corrosion, has decent wear resistance, and cuts well, although it does fall short compared to pricier alloys.

The handle is made from nylon, a durable material that stands up well to impacts and open flames. One downside is its limited cold tolerance; below 17 degrees Celsius, its impact resistance may be reduced. Nevertheless, this material definitely delivers value for the cost.
