CRKT 7266 Lake Bandera Is Designed By The Famous Knife Maker Ron Lake, Who Is The Master Of Lockback Safety L.B.S. Bandera Is A Cool Knife At A Great Price.Bandera Knife Has Black G-10 Handles With Stainless Steel Pocket Clip.It Also Features The Patented Lock Back Safety (L.B.S) System This web page is all about a cool knife and great value. Cutlery Hall of Fame member and master lockback folder designer Ron Lake showed us a prototype of this very tasty concept. It had a clean shape, choiled grip and a flat profile with G10 scales. In other words, it was a knife that just about every knife fancier would want. Our job was to make it a knife that anyone could afford. Because it's a rugged no-nonsense design with Western flair, we decided to call it the Bandera™. First, we looked at the modified drop point blade with its high hollow grind. We specified premium 8Cr14MoV high-chromium stainless steel with a high satin brush finish to aid in corrosion resistance. The result is a strong blade with great slicing and penetrating ability that will hold an edge well. Blade are available with Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges. For the frame, we specified brass liners and scales CNC machined from black G10, just what you find in the finest custom knives. The grip is excellent, thanks to the G10 texture, three finger choils and thumb friction grooves at the spine.
