Description
The FK3 by Carothers Performance Knives (CPK) is a high-performance fixed blade designed with a relentless focus on strength, cutting efficiency, and real-world durability.
Crafted from CPK’s proprietary Delta 3V (D3V) steel and heat treated to approximately 61.5 HRC, the FK3 delivers exceptional toughness while maintaining excellent edge stability. The blade features a full-tang construction with a hollow grind taken all the way to the edge, providing outstanding cutting performance without sacrificing structural integrity.
Internal weight reduction improves balance and handling, while the 3D contoured Micarta handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip during extended use. Sized between an EDC knife and a medium fixed blade, the FK3 is ideal for belt or chest carry. Produced in limited batches, this D3V FK3 remains highly sought after on the secondary market for both its performance and long-term collectibility.
