Knifemakers Guild member Pat Crawford and his son Wes are acknowledged as leaders in the design and hand crafting of tactical folders. The Point Guard has been their most popular seller for several years. It incorporates the best features of the many models he has designed and built over many years.

The CRKT Point Guard is true to Pat's design in every detail, with the addition of CRKT's proven, rock-solid, overbuilt Mirage construction with 420 J2 double stainless steel liners, 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacer, Torx fasteners, Teflon bearings, and Zytel scales. An integral part of the Point Guard is the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS) to provide lock security under extreme use.

The modern Point Guard design is slim and trim, with no excess. There is just enough handle to hold the blade. Holes and slots are incorporated to minimize handle weight and located so that frame strength is not reduced. The rear of the handle is rounded to maintain the minimal profile, which permits the knife to be held comfortably regardless of hand size. At top rear of the handle are friction grooves that create greater control in both natural and reverse grips.

The blade of AUS 6M stainless steel is a drop point design for greater utility. The high hollow ground makes resharpening easier. An ambidextrous thumb disk for one hand opening is used instead of a thumb stud to rninimize the width of the frame. Both Razor-Sharp and Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple- Point serrated blades are available. A removable, black Teflon-plated, custom designed pocket clip is standard on the Point Guard. This is a CRKT knife that all of us have wanted, but up to now, all of us could not own. Now, thanks to the collaboration between Crawford Knives and Columbia River Knife and Tool, the production Point Guard is within the reach of every knife user.
