A.G. Russell Knives

The Fulcrum Flame's design is all curves, no straight lines. Even the CRKT logo laser cut into the blade is new. Like CRKT says, it’s curvilinear. The 2-3/4" AUS8 premium stainless steel blade is a drop point, swedged and recurved with a high hollow grind. Rockwell is 58-59 Rc. To open the Flame, simply press the left side of the frame down with your thumb. The blade swings out to the 90-degree position. Click! Then pull the left side of the frame back, gripping with your index finger at the choil, and the blade continues to rotate open and lock in the open position. Click! After a few openings, you can do it naturally in one continuous, fluid action, or "fulcrumation." To close the Flame, simply release the stainless steel locking liner. One-hand closing is also fast and easy.

Structurally, the Flame uses CRKT’s high-carbon stainless steel InterFrame build with a steel pivot at the back spacer. Scales are 6061 T6 aluminum, black anodized, with radiating circular engraving and a flame relief on the front scale. The handle shape is designed to fit the hand with an extremely deep finger choil resulting in a wasp-waist, then swelling into a comfortable curved butt.

The black-out model 7406K has a non-reflective black titanium nitride blade finish for maximum corrosion resistance. Liners and stainless steel clip receive a spectral titanium nitride finish, which shows through a relief in the left scale. Suggested retail is $99.99.
