For bigger hands

Most pocket knife fans know the problem: you really like a design, but it is simply too small for your hands. CRKT have already addressed this problem once with their extremely popular Pilar by Jesper Voxnaes and brought a slightly larger version to market with the Pilar(ge) II. Now they've followed up with the Pilar III, an even larger version of the successful model.

What you might notice right away is that the manufacturer didn't just scale up an existing design here, which often just doesn't quite work. Instead, the entire shape of the knife has been adapted to the new size, so that in the end a good 18cm long, full-grown work knife has been created. The handeling is now really good even for users with large hands and allows comfortable work. The stainless steel Framelock locks the Pilar III bombproof and can be operated effortlessly with one hand. The knife is also opened one-handed via the milled thumb hole in the blade. The long forward false edge on the back of the blade gives the Pilar III a more agressive appearance and thus deviates a bit from the look of the original model. For the steel, CRKT have chosen - as with the predecessor - the very rustresistant 8Cr13MoV, which is not only very insensitive, but also easy to resharpen.

The handle is still provided with a grippy G10 showside, which you can not only clean very easily, but which is also very insensitive to heat or other external influences. If you like to carry your knives with a lanyard, you can thread it through the hole in the back of the protruding backspacer. Another cool feature is the deep-carry clip: this allows you to carry the Pilar III discreetly in your pocket despite its full-size without the knife immediately catching the eye of those around you.

Nicht erstaunlich- erstaunlich gut!

Das Pilar 3 ist der bessere, feinere Bruder der Vorgänger von CRKT und dem dänischen Messer-Designer Jesper Voxnæs, Pilar und Pilar Large (aka Pilarge). Das Frame-Lock Messer hat einen deep-carry clip, eine besondere Klingenform und ich eine Ergonomie, die man sich für ein EDC Messer nur wünschen kann. Die spitzer als die Vorgänger zulaufende Klinge ist von Vorteil wenn man etwas öffnen will- ist es nun ein Brief, ein Sack Kartoffeln, oder... eigentlich was auch immer, man kann immer auf das Messer zählen! Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier auf jeden Fall. Man kommt auf seine Kosten und wird für viele Jahre Freude an dem Pilar 3 haben. Nicht nur für Liebhaber, sondern auch, oder sogar besonders- für hardcore User geeignet!

CRKT - Pilar A small EDC wonderSometimes it doesn't take much to make a really good knife.With the Pilar, CRKT have created a design by Danish knife guru Jesper Voxnaes, which is really fistful behind the ears. Voxnaes is considered - quite rightly - one of the most important knifemakers in Europe and his designs for companies like CRKT, Viper or Spyderco have caused quite a stir in the past. If you are looking for a good, compact and above all inexpensive knife for everyday use, the Pilar could be just the thing for you. The matte stainless steel handle fits comfortably in the hand and - thanks to the finger recess placed at the base of the blade - allows for pleasant and precise handling of the knife. At the same time, the finger guard also serves as a so-called "Flipper Tap", with which the Pilar can be opened with one hand. The frame lock closes securely and can be easily unlocked again with one hand. The slightly modified Sheepfoot blade was provided with a hollow grind, which ensures that the Pilar cuts really well despite its robust blade thickness of 3.6mm. When it comes to the choice of material, CRKT have opted for the tried and tested 8Cr13MoV steel, which ensures a very high resistance to rust and can be re-sharpened with simple means. The best thing about the CRKT Pilar, in our opinion, is the price. What you get here for little money is really incredible. The great design by Jesper Voxnaes, the one-sided convertible pocket clip and the good build quality make the Pilar a real "bang for the buck".
