CRKT Nucleus Flipper Framelock Knife, MagnaCut, Titanium/Carbon Fiber, 5703

Unleash your imagination.

Equal parts genius and magician, custom knifemaker Princeton Wong never fails to deliver imaginative, captivating, and supremely unique designs. The Nucleus is a striking example of his individual approach to knifemaking; it looks like no other folder, its aggressive angles carving the profile of a stealth fighter.

This upgraded version is made in Italy and features MagnaCut blade steel in bead blast finish for an unbeatable combination of toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The lightweight handle is made of bead blast titanium with carbon fiber overlay. Princeton drew inspiration from the giant robots, or mecha, featured in his favorite childhood TV show, Mobile Suit Gundam. But it’s not just about looks; the Nucleus can be opened in three different ways thanks to front and rear flippers and a finger hole in the blade.
