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 the tried and tested D2 tool steel for this variant. D2 is not only a very cutting alloy but also very tough and thus very well positioned against transverse loads (for example, when carving). To prevent the blade from rusting, we recommend that you clean your Pilar III with a little oil from time to time.
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.
