Sometimes your life depends on the tools you select - tools such as your pitons, ice axe, crampons and knife. Because climbers regard reaching the summits of the 14,000 ft. North American peaks as the pinnacle of achievement, this popular line was named the 14K Summit™ series.
We began with the powerful InterFrame locking liner construction in an easily cleaned open build, with nickel chrome plated zinc alloy scales featuring an aircraft-style drilled "skeleton" design. Weight is reduced without compromising the exceptional strength. The dual liners are 420J2 stainless steel. Handles are designed with an extended guard, generous size and bead-blast finish to give you extra gripping power. Friction grooves at the lock and on the blade spine improve grip in wet and icy conditions.
The high-carbon, 420J2 stainless steel blades feature a rugged modified drop point shape and bead blast finish. Blade grinds are engineered to retain maximum thickness at the tip and through the length of the spine. This blade is built for real work.
Integrated into the design is the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade - very reassuring when you are using your knife for difficult and tiring tasks.
The Mt. Whitney features a hefty 3.50" blade.
Double grooved ambidextrous thumb studs allow you to comfortably open or close the blade with a single, smooth, one-handed motion, aided by the Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot which guarantee continued smoothness.
All fasteners are Torx® , proven superior in initial assembly and owner maintenance, such as tightening the pivot screw for proper blade tension after years of heavy, sustained work loads.
The convenient stainless steel clothing/gear clip is Teflon plated and easily removable, attached with three Torx fasteners.
