CRKT Clever Girl

Description

Designed by Austin McGlaun

In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans who had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To help work through their challenges, they had been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they are creating tools they wished had been available to them in the battlefield. In addition to helping veterans, the Forged by War program donates 10% of CRKT’s net profits to the veterans’ charity of choice.

As part of CRKT’s Forged By War™ program, Austin McGlaun of Columbus, Georgia, designed the Clever Girl™. It aligns with his philosophy that a knife is more than a tool. It’s a psychological deterrent that is very different from a gun. It tells your attacker very quickly that you mean business.

The Clever Girl features a black powder coated 4-1/4″ Persian style blade of SK5 steel at 54-56 Rc. The handle is black G-10 that is textured and shaped for a secure grip. Ships with a multi carry MOLLE compatible sheath. Measures 10″ overall and weighs 6.4 oz. Made in Taiwan. 00.

Austin McGlaun’s charity of choice for this tool is the Green Beret Foundation.

About the Forged By War™ program-

In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

To help work through their challenges, they have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield.

CRKT cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War™ program.

These are mission ready tools, designed by veterans, with 10% of the CRKT net profits of the program donated to the veterans’ charity of choice.

Mission ready tools that are, Forged By War™.
