CRKT Thero - your go-to everyday folding knife by designer TJ Schwarz. True to its name, this model has a fierce and bold appearance. The highly efficient blade features a wear- and rust-resistant black coating. It’s nicely balanced with a reinforced fiberglass nylon handle, accented with carbon fiber for a stylish yet robust finish. You can swiftly deploy the blade using the flipper or thumb hole, and it secures nicely thanks to the liner lock mechanism.

The blade is crafted from 8Cr14MoV steel, which is a solid choice for everyday use. While not extraordinary, it performs admirably for its price range, showing good resistance to corrosion, decent wear resistance, and cutting ability, though it doesn't quite match the performance of pricier alloys.

The handle is made from FRN, a durable material that holds up well against impacts and open flames. However, it does have a downside in cold weather—at temperatures below 17°C, its impact strength may decrease. Nonetheless, this material delivers great value overall.
