It has a flipper opening mechanism that\u2019s fast and smooth. Which you\u2019d expect being that it rides on an IKBS ball bearing pivot designed by Flavio Ikoma, who just happens to be whom Pedro studied under. Thus the Padawan name. Just in case you aren\u2019t a Star Wars nerd fan, a padawan is an apprentice to a Jedi, and has come to mean in common usage an untrained or inexperienced person. Pedro may have started that way, but his designs show that he is far from inexperienced now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547326 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-560x373.jpg 560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 696px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 696\/463;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547326\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_165007-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Overall length on the Padawan is just over 7 inches and it weighs just 3.10 ounces.

It does the usual EDC tasks that most of us do like cutting open Amazon boxes and boxes of gun parts. Ask my wife, much to her dismay I get a lot of packages. The Swedish 14C28N steel holds a good edge, and I\u2019m familiar with it from other knives I own and have used. It\u2019s not one of the boutique super steels, but it\u2019s a solid choice and works well. It\u2019s also a lot easier to sharpen than some of the boutique steels when the time comes. I haven\u2019t had to put my Padawan back on a sharpening stone yet though, I\u2019ve just touched it up now and then with a loaded leather strop. 14C29N responds nicely to the strop which keeps you from having to resharpen it fully very often.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547325 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-265x198.jpg 265w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 696px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 696\/522;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547325\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164956-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Padawan carries comfortably in both shorts and jeans pockets. The deep carry clip allows the knife to ride low and securely in the pocket, but doesn\u2019t grab so tightly that it tears up your clothes or is hard to draw. I\u2019m particular about clips and have plenty of knives I ended up not carrying because I didn\u2019t like the clip or how they rode in my pocket. The Padawan isn\u2019t one of those. It\u2019s well designed, and I appreciate the satin finish on it too that doesn\u2019t draw the eye to it any more than necessary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547322 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-560x373.jpg 560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 696px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 696\/463;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547322\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240625_164906-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a sleek, modern folder with good materials and excellent design features, then Pedro Buzetti\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crkt.com\/knife\/padawan-folding-knife-with-frame-lock?sku=6070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Padawan<\/a> from CRKT is well worth a look.
