CRKT Parascale Deadbolt Lock

CRKT Parascale Deadbolt Lock Folding Knife

Built for bushcraft, Deadbolt® is an industry shifting innovation on so many levels. TJ Schwarz just uncovered one more and put it into the Parascale™ outdoor folding knife.

If you’re wondering why you’ve never seen a paracord-wrapped folder before, it’s because you probably haven’t - unlike a frame lock or liner lock, Deadbolt® only impacts the pivot, making the Parascale™ a highly useful outdoor folding companion.

From his bench in Boise, Idaho, TJ Schwarz set out to marry the Deadbolt® lock innovation and a highly utilitarian outdoor/survivalist knife. The Parascale™ delivers in spades with a 81mm drop point, deep-bellied blade with a satin finish.

It’s balanced by a durable glass-reinforced nylon handle wrapped in paracord—an ideal tool to always have on hand when you’re miles from anywhere.

A thumb stud lights it up and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system quickens the opening action. It locks into place with Deadbolt® and will stay there—enduring incredible stress and weight—until it’s simply closed with the prominent button.

It’ll have your back in the backcountry.
