Fast, powerful, portable. Jim Hammond’s original P.S.D.™ earned its name (Particle. Separation. Device.) for its ability to cut through just about anything, anywhere. The P.S.D.™ II brings that same capability to a smaller, more portable folding knife, shaving over an inch off the total length. You’ll still find a corrosion-resistant, full-recurve blade and Assisted Opening with IKBS™ bearings for fast and easy one-handed operation, but now in an improved form factor for everyday carry.

P.S.D.™ II (Particle. Separation. Device.)

A fresh take on a classic. The late, great knifemaker Kit Carson is widely known for his M16® design, but his most consistent selling custom model has been his classic M4™. This latest version, the M4™-02M, features a striking satin-finish blade and a handle made of white micarta with black G10 bolsters. It’s not just a great-looking M4™, it’s one of the classiest folding knives you can get.

This small knife is a big deal. A smaller, more agile version of the perfect edc knife, the Squid™ Compact is dependable and remarkably capable. It’s loaded with features usually reserved for larger knives and includes both a thumb stud and flipper for two ergonomic opening options. Whichever you choose, the blade deploys quickly and smoothly thanks to Assisted Opening and IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot. This model features D2 blade steel and a blue G10 handle for a pop of color that stands out and is easy to find.

Rise to any challenge. Designed by Alan Folts of Melbourne, Florida, the Fawkes soars above what you’d expect from any utility knife—its sleek presence makes it the everyday carry that stands out equally in performance as it does in aesthetics.

Forget the fine tip. The Razel™ /ray-zuhl/ GT boldly challenges the blade shape norm. While this everyday carry folder’s stubby profile is its defining quality, the Assisted Opening innovation deploys the blade at incredible speeds. An all-new take on tradition.

The perfect blend of form and function. The Ignitor™ is built around the same elegant frame as the standard version, with a deep finger choil and reassuring pommel that will feel right at home in your hand. But the new iteration adds even more versatility. It still uses fast Assisted Opening, smooth IKBS bearings, and easy-to-sharpen, high-carbon steel, but the 3.5-inch drop-point blade is now coated for corrosion resistance and features Veff Serrations™ to cut through rope and other fibrous material.

Ignitor® Assisted

Reimagined to reignite your passion for knives. The Ignitor™ proves there’s power in simplicity. The elegant shape of this folding knife, with the handle’s deep finger choil and reassuring pommel, will feel right at home in your hand—but it also hides impressive performance beneath the surface. Now with assisted opening and IKBS™ bearings, just press down on the flipper and watch the blade spring to life. This standard version of the Ignitor™ comes with a 3.8-inch, drop-point blade made of high-carbon stainless steel that takes an edge well.

Jumping out of the history book and into your pocket. Designed for daily use, the Ritual™ Compact is a standout assisted folding knife inspired by old-world Persian fixed blades. Featuring a shorter blade at just over three inches, this sturdy everyday carry crafted from 12C27 steel is sure to impress, with Assisted Opening and IKBS™ bearings to ensure quick and easy opening and closing. To top it off, the micarta handle has a stainless-steel bolster that combines strength with strapping good looks. It’s perfect for doing battle in ancient Persia or for making quick work of a package on your doorstep.

Blink and you’ll miss it. The LCK + is lightning fast and ready for anything. Compact and powerful, the LCK + everyday carry folding knife is built around the Assisted Opening innovation for extremely fast deployment speeds. Pack some heat.

Back and ready for action. Reimagined from the late Kit Carson’s fan-favorite M16®, this modern tactical folding knife packs three revolutionary innovations into a single design. Locked and loaded, the M16®-04DB combines Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, creating the ultimate everyday carry you’ll definitely want to have on your side. It might be a classic, but this knife is built to perform in the modern world.

M16®-04DB Deadbolt®

It might look like your grandpa’s classic WWII knife, but it’s got an impressive secret. Underneath the traditional looks of the Homefront™ you’ll find Assisted Opening with IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, giving this folding knife an incredibly fast and smooth action. Just push down on the flipper and watch the blade deploy in the blink of an eye.

It’s back. But bigger. The Squid™ XM is a versatile everyday carry just like its predecessor, but with a bit more reach from a longer blade—it’s not quite large, just “extra medium.” With a grippy G10 handle and new, earth brown color, it’s a highly functional design that’s a surprisingly capable EDC. Featuring a D2 steel drop-point blade, the knife achieves an excellent balance of tip strength and point geometry for maximum utility. When you’re ready to put it to work, Assisted Opening deploys the blade in the blink of an eye. IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot create a super smooth action.
