Rare Model CRKT 6653 – Bud Nealy Design – Folding Knife – Pesh Kabaz

Description

CRKT 6653 – Bud Nealys’ First Folding Knife Design – Plain Edge – Pesh Kabaz

The 6653 Pesh-Kabz – (pesh cobbs) by Bud Nealy is a knife adapted from a 15^th Century Persian design. Bud Nealy is an internationally recognised member of the Knifemakers’ Guild.

Bud integrated an open version of CRKT’s strong and rigid Interframe build, assembled with stainless steel spacers and Torx® fasteners. It uses dual 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, and injection moulded black Zytel scales textured similarly to Bud’s custom models. The Walker-Lock mechanism and dual chequered thumb studs are the blade stop. Combined with the “flipper” blade guard, they allow fast ambidextrous one-hand opening.

The special blade grind leaves the full 0.12″ blade width near the tip for exceptional strength. Made of satin finished AUS 6M stainless steel, the blade is 3 inches in length total. Positive grooves at the spine and flipper give additional security in use.

Like all CRKT liner locking folders, the Pesh-Kabz features Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot for smooth action. Mindful of the Pesh-Kabz’s fixed blade origins, CRKT also incorporated the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which converts the folder to a virtual fixed blade when activated for additional advantages in tough outdoor situations.

Like its name, the Pesh-Kabz is unusual in design, combining contrasting shapes into a knife that is lightweight yet strong, attractive and practical.

A rare & difficult model to find these days.

A Rare Pre-owned knife from a private collection.  An excellent collectors item – There are no signs of use or sharpening, all blade logos show full and clear.
