Description
The Carothers Performance Knives FK3 is a high-performance fixed blade built around CPK’s proprietary Delta 3V (D3V) heat-treated steel, rated at 61.5 HRC with exceptional toughness and edge stability—widely considered one of the strongest real-world working steels available.
Measuring 26.5 cm overall, the FK3 bridges the gap between an EDC fixed blade and a mid-sized field knife, offering excellent portability whether carried on a belt, chest rig, or pack.
Key features include:
• Full tang construction
• Hollow grind to the edge, providing superb slicing while maintaining strength
• 3D contoured Micarta handle for comfort and grip
• Internal weight reduction machining for enhanced balance and handling
Perfect for: hiking, camping, bushcraft, skinning, food prep, wood splitting, and general outdoor tasks.
The FK3 is a higher-tier offering within the CPK lineup, produced in limited batches, making it highly valued and scarce on the secondary market.
