CRKT S.P.E.W. EDC Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath: Compact Utility Neck Knife, Bead Blast Blade, Textured G10 Handle, Nylon Sheath, Belt Loop 2388
November 9, 2019 - Comment
Specifically Built for Anything that Needs to be Cut. A compact fixed blade neck knife with a Wharncliffe-style blade and tough G10 handle, it feels equally at home in the woods or around the house. The S.P.E.W. (Small Pocket Everyday Wharncliffe) is designed by Alan Folts of Melbourne, FL. A designer and dedicated custom knife instructor with over 20 years’ experience, he cares deeply about helping folks learn about knives as tools, and passing along the skills of custom knife making to others. This svelt dynamo packs a lot into its compact fixed blade knife design. A plain edge Wharncliffe-style blade rips through a variety of cutting tasks better than most knives of comparable size. You owe it to yourself to see how something so compact can come up so big with such great control. Let your first two fingers take hold of the G10 handle. Wrap the last two around the cord fob for extra grip. Then see where you can go with it from there. You’ll find it’s tough to argue against the value of having a knife along with you, especially one as versatile and comfortable as the S.P.E.W. It’s slim in design only, not features. The S.P.E.W. comes with a versatile carry sheath. Not that you’ll be keeping it in there for long. Take it with you for when you might need it most—all of the time.Specifications:Blade Length: 3″ (76.2 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 5Cr15MoVBlade Finish: Bead BlastBlade Thickness: 0.1″ (2.54 mm)Grind: HollowOpen Length: 6.25″ (158.75 mm)Weight: 3.0 oz (85.05g)Handle: G10Style: Fixed Blade Knife with SheathSheath Material: Glass-Reinforced NylonSheath Weight: 1.1 oz (31.18g)

Sharp Point I purchased this to wear around my neck but never do. I do use it to clean squirrels The point on the knife is extremely sharp and punctures the skin with ease. The sharp blade also cuts the skin easily to make cleaning small game quick and easy.The size of the knife makes it easy to stick the knife in a pack, pocket, glove box or any other small area you may want to keep a small knife. However, the handle is shaped well and has enough girth and surface area to maintain control of…
Nice little knife. Could use a slightly better sheath. Nice little knife. Comes sharp and I really like the shape of it. Got it to wear on my belt and it fits nicely. My only issue is that the sheath is not the easiest target to hit when you put the knife away. This could have been much better if the sheath had a longer side on the closest side to the body. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about sticking yourself. Small gripe though.
My choice for fixed-blade ccw Philosophy of Use:My philosophy of use for this knife was as a CCW fixed blade as a backup to my sidearm. In that role, I do NOT use it for cutting boxes, opening mail, removing tags from clothes, etc. I use my Gerber multi-tool for that.To carry, I took off the long piece of paracord that was included by the seller as a way of hanging around the neck. I then repositioned the belt clip so that the knife would be carried horizontally on my belt, on the right side of the buckle,…
