Review: Good knife very happy just wish it was assisted open - Blade holds an edge nicely (I’m not easy on knives), the grip feels good in the hand and the lock functions great. I only wish it was assisted open. It opens pretty good, but I like a nice spring action. Other than that, I really don’t have anything to say. It’s my first Cold Steel knife l, but I really like it. I’m coming from a Kershaw blade. The first one I had I loved, but I lost it and replaced it with the same kind (again I loved it) and the blade was far less good. Wouldn’t stay sharp. This was about 3-4 years later so maybe they aren’t made as good. Moving to this Cold Steel it has held up well. The blade was pretty sharp out of the box. I honed it just a bit and then stropped it and it’s been good for about 5 weeks. It’s just now needing to be sharpened up. The lock feature is nice, it’s my first one, I’m of the kind that if you’re worried a blade might force closed on you then you need a different tool. So I honestly forget about it a lot. Used it twice just messing around testing it and I feel like you would have to catastrophically break the knife to make the lock break.
Review: Excellent knife for the money with flipper quick open - I have a number of knives from Benchmade, Cold Steel, Gerber, Henry, Kershaw, Puma, and SOG. With few exceptions, Cold Steel knives are made in Taiwan. I'm impressed with their innovative design, quality production and reasonable prices. The Crawford Model 1 is well made and is more comfortable with the clip removed. The flipper mechanism is similar to that found on knives from Kershaw and SOG. A fair amount of force is needed to open it, but I'm hoping it will be easier after oiling it. A slide mechanism to keep the knife open seemed like an after thought. It was difficult to open and didn't seem to provide much value. To me, the knife's advantages make this a good value and great every day carry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: But this does not have the famous, patented, and best reason to buy a cold steel folder...a tri-ad lock, right?**
A: It doesnt. It has a rocker lock which basically is a little switch that slides behind the lockbar to ensure it doesnt fail. Its still a solid knife with a great and functional design. But i wouldnt put it in the same league as Tri-Ad locks.

**Q: How wide is the blade? The recon knife blade is very wide**
A: 1inch wide not quite as wide as a Recon. Recon Is 1 1/4 wide thickness about the same on both

**Q: What is the blade length?**
A: 3 1/2" long blade

**Q: Doesn’t weight matter when you are carrying it?  So much so that shouldn’t the specs include the weight of of what you will be carrying?**
A: I think the specs for an EDC knife should always include the weight.  Many don't...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like the design, it's the usual Cold Steel 5-star product; just not my cup of tea
*by M***K on January 3, 2020*

There are only two Cold Steel knives I've bought sight unseen, then regretted: the unconventional Night Force low-budget liner-locking Recon knock-off; and this one. And actually, now that I've pulled out the Night Force, it's really not that bad - I think I prefer the edge lock over the pre-TriAd lockback "version". Here's what I don't like: - That big shiny blade. Why not satin? - The pukey green rubber inset in the FRN plastic handle - strange shape and color. Overall handle effect looks either cheap or like a toy, although of course it is neither. Functionally, a solid grip. - The nearly impossible to flip, flipper action. I still have a strong grip and sometimes I can't get it open. In terms of convenient deployment forget it, unless you are from the madly strong chimp faction on Planet of the Apes. At least the flipper won't be accidentally triggered as happened on my Luzon. On the other hand if you can't open it with the flipper, the blade portion above the handle edge is too slippery to grasp and open that way. Second production run, the detent for the blade needs some adjustment. Overall, flipper functionality varies from subpar to useless in an ostensibly "tactical" design. - The flipper tab is pretty long, and combined with the wide handle makes for a wide knife in the pocket. - As is common with Cold Steel pocket clips, the darn thing is impossibly tight. If an ogre from Attack on Titan picked you up by the feet and shook everything out of your pockets, this Crawford 1 isn't going to shake loose. On the other hand in an emergency you'll probably have a tough, to impossible, time extracting it with one hand - especially if the flipper tab catches on anything. There are some real good points as well (I mainly object to the style, not the quality): + Although not dirt-cheap like the Pro Lite series, this IS a designer blade (Wes Crawford, son of knife pioneer Pat Crawford). + Compared to Y2K pricing, quality, features, this IS dirt cheap even at current $37 Amazon pricing. + Assuming you can get it out of your pocket AND open before your assailant dies of boredom, this undoubtedly has a high "tactical" functionality, the ergonomics are right up there with Emerson's. + I've had doubts for years about a bad grip or slip in grip accidentally disengaging conventional liner locks. This very inexpensive albeit well-made Cold Steel solves the problem with an easy-to-operate slide safety. However, the slide is on the palm side (assuming you are right-handed) and requires re-gripping to reach the slide bar. So I see little value in high-stress "tactical" situations. On the other hand in typical "knife failure" tests on YouTube from BladeHQ I've yet to see a tested liner-lock actually slide off the rear of the blade and allow the blade to close more than an inch or too. + As I sit here writing this, I'm tempted to send this into Cold Steel for a warranty inspection. I know we are all stuck with impossibly tight Cold Steel pocket clips, but my Luzon is buttery smooth opening, as is my Ti Lite, this Crawford 1 shouldn't be so problematic. Cold Steel stands by its products is the main point. + Made in Taiwan, still the gold standard along with Seki City Japan, but let's face it if quality is assured by the American designer/distributor, China quality is also superb these days. What I like about Taiwan/Japan is the complete lack of any doubt about any step in the materials, manufacturing, and quality control process - Japanese steel is consistently blended and hence always a known quantity, high quality FRN won't be switched out to a no-name new supplier, even screws are consistently high quality. Japanese and Taiwanese machining, hot/cold tempering is superb, factory edge sharpening rivals custom hand sharpening. Yeah I think overall we can loosen the clip, sand down or epoxy fill the rubber panel under the clip, but if your model arrives as difficult to open as mine, you should get a replacement or wing it and send it in for warranty adjustment. The difficulty of opening is a non-starter. I accepted the hard-to-unlock early TriAd locks, but a "tactical" knife that needs a vice and gloves to open is not acceptable.
