It should be affordable, and it should have some large flat areas on the blade or frame suitable for logo imprinting. So we are very happy to present the Drifter series. They're high-quality knives that are priced low enough to purchase in quantity, and all have flat areas that are perfect for our "Company Billboard" imprinting by laser or silk screen. Or you can take any one to your local trophy house for personalized engraving. The Drifter Stainless is a stainless steel frame-lock folder with a Razor-Sharp edge. The flat titanium nitride-coated frames are ideally suited for imprinting. It also features a 2.875" 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade with a Razor-Sharp edge and a brushed finish. A stainless steel clip is included.Specifications:Blade Length: 2.875" (73.03 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 8Cr14MoVBlade Finish: SatinBlade Thickness: 0.091" (2.31 mm)Grind: High HollowClosed Length: 3.660" (92.96 mm)Open Length: 6.5" (165.1 mm)Weight: 3.2 oz (90.72g)Handle: Stainless SteelStyle: Folding Knife with Frame Lock Review: Awesome! - As far as I am concerned, the best EDC knife you can get! It's simple, tough, the clip is awesome and tough, the knife easy to clean (sandblast it if I have to) and it is simple to adjust the pivot. Good balance of sharpening ease vs. edge retention vs. toughness. Fast one hand deployment and locks solid. As an artist and as a craftsman, I've put this knife through the worst for a few years and it works as good today as when I bought it. The smooth stainless sides can be a little slippery when wet, but I think it's well worth it for the clean-ability and toughness of the knife. [NOTE: this knife is very different from the plastic-sided model, in the way it locks and in the way the clip attaches.] Great knife!!!! EDIT: I want to note that I have carried this knife and used it several times a day for about five years now. This is a thing close to my heart. I attribute most but not all of the beauty of this knife to it's designers. Every once in a while there is just a lucky coming together of design, materials, construction and user, and my relationship with this thing has been just that. This isn't a thing to wow you or instantly feel like the best thing on the planet, this is a tool to merge with and to beat on and then care for and then repeat for many years. Have you ever seen a tool from the stone age, that looks so beautiful and refined and delicate that it doesn't seem possible that anyone ever used it, but at the same time it shows the wear of a lifetime of use? Thats what I think of when I think of how much this thing has been through, how many times I used it to pry something apart or remove staples or used it as a screwdriver or wrenched on the pivot with all my strength or used it as a pipe cutter or a bottle opener or to push stripped screws out of something or as a punch or a hammer, sandblasted it to get resin off of it, used it to cut open bottles of battery acid, and how the thing is so slim and sleek and how I still keep it sharp with ease because it won't chip or break or get dents in the edge too easily. (I have seen lots of spyderco's and kershaw's do just those sort of things.) And still it opens with ease, clicks closed or locks open with no play even after all that. A very lucky little knife, and a lucky man I am to have one. People will like different things, the right hand clip is one potential issue, and who knows what else, but this is just one of my favorite things that makes me happy when I think about it. Review: EDC perfection - This knife is everything you would want in an EDC. It has enough heft to to feel good in the hand, but light enough to vanish while clipped to your pocket. The blade has an elegant shape and is razor sharp right out of the box. In my opinion, this knife represents a lot of quality for a relatively low price. This is my first CRKT purchase, but will likely not be my last. ## Features - Classy Appearance: Satin finish blade has a modern look - Ultimate Durability: Stainless steel handle withstands hard use - Brute Strength: Frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade - Limited Lifetime Warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship, see company site for details ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001BG8PP4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,866 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #121 in Pocket Knives & Folding Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 1.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Clip Point | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Stainless Steel Handle | | Customer Package Type | Box with Inserts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (668) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00097914371227, 00794023645019 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | CRKT 6450S, Pamphlet | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 6.5 Inches | | Item Type Name | DRIFTER STAINLESS HANDLE | | Item Weight | 0.09 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Columbia River Knife & Tool | | Model Name | Drifter | | Model Number | 6450S | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Everyday Carry | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Frame Lock | | Style | Folding Knife | | Theme | Utility | | UPC | 097914371227 623969180233 794023645019 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Stainless Steel Handle - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Included Components:** CRKT 6450S, Pamphlet - **Model Name:** Drifter - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Everyday Carry - **Special Feature:** Frame Lock - **Style:** Folding Knife ## Images ![Drifter Everyday Carry EDC Pocket Folding Knife with Frame Lock: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Pocket Clip, 6450S - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GUsIFYfvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: where is it made** A: China. Cr mov steels are Chinese stainless **Q: Does it locked open?** A: Yes it locks open from the bottom side of the handle **Q: i'm left-handed. is there a left-handed knife available?** A: Not sure but the clip is only on the 1 side **Q: is the thumb stud removable?** A: Absolutely, if you're willing to do whatever it takes to remove it permanently. It won't just screw off like some studs. I recommend leaving it on, otherwise it would be difficult to open the knife. Most of the blade is covered by the handle when closed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! *by C***J on May 10, 2011* As far as I am concerned, the best EDC knife you can get!

It has enough heft to to feel good in the hand, but light enough to vanish while clipped to your pocket. The blade has an elegant shape and is razor sharp right out of the box. In my opinion, this knife represents a lot of quality for a relatively low price. This is my first CRKT purchase, but will likely not be my last. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ E.K. *by E***. on September 6, 2012* This is a great knife. The blade is a very usable shape and length. The blade has also remained sharp for daily use for over the last six months and have sharpened it once(I am not a fan of serrated blades). It is easy to clip on your pant pocket on a daily basis and also can be put in your pocket. It opens closes easily right handed but not so much with the left. o.k. I still have this knife and love it. My wife "misplaced" it for a day on vacation and I almost lost my mind. This knife is just a great. I cant tell you how much I like it and how useful it is. Every once in a while I make the mistake and pick out another daily carry knife. That stops quickly and I go right back to old faithful. I purchased this knife June 7 2012 and it is now Feb 11 2014. If I truly lost it I would buy another one in a second. Just thought I would add some Photos..... May 11 2015.. I don't know how CRKT is still in business because I still have this knife and it works like a champ. I sharpen it every so often but really don't need too. I cant believe how well it holds an edge. The locking mechanism is still very sturdy. I use/carry it every day the only thing that is different(could be bad, but I've had it for almost 3 years) ... the thumb assist is loose. Not like crazy it will just spin in place. It is tight and wont come out, it just spins. Yes I would buy another one if I lost it...... ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT Drifter EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Gray Ti Nitride Blade, Thumb Stud Opening, Stainless Steel Handle, Pocket Clip 6450S - CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives C18026C-1 - CJRB Pyrite-Light Pocket Knife, Folding Knife with 3.34'' AR-RPM9 Steel Blade Small Pocket Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, EDC Knife for Camping Survival Hiking Knives J1945 Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3713030-drifter-everyday-carry-edc-pocket-folding-knife-with-frame-lock](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3713030-drifter-everyday-carry-edc-pocket-folding-knife-with-frame-lock) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
