From the CRKT website: ... Jesper Voxnaes from Loegstrup, Denmark, designed the Amicus™ Compact to excel in the outdoors. So he tested it in some of the toughest conditions he could find - the fjords and forests in his own backyard. Now it's ready for whatever harsh, brutal conditions nature dishes out for you.
The word amicus means friend or comrade. And with a strong full-flat grind, this 3" Tanto shaped blade is there when you need it. This folder is impressively capable for its size, acting like a horde, cutting through everything - be it big jobs, fine tasks, and anything in between.
An ergonomically designed handle provides a secure grip in any position. The sturdy frame lock gives you confidence if open while rowing up to a pending village. This, combined with protruding back spacers and deep grooves, makes it easy to get a strong hold on this compact knife even when you're wearing gloves. Which on raging waters or in the rainy outdoors is often.
