A modern classic from a legendary designer. Named for the hills that surround designer Lucas Burnley’s hometown of Bend, Oregon, the Butte is a folding knife that takes styling cues from standard hunting knives. Burnley calls it a “modern classic,” integrating traditional looks with the latest materials and features—including Deadbolt®, a first for a Burnley knife.

A homegrown, high-caliber scale release automatic for everyday use. Made in the USA, the Michaca™ is an automatic folding knife with a scale release lock designed by expert knifemaker Philip Booth. Crafted from ultra-premium materials, the drop point blade is made from best-in-class MagnaCut steel with a stonewash finish, while the black G10 handle offers excellent grip—and sports Booth’s signature stripe. It’s an automatic everyday carry with a dose of style. And the name? It’s a portmanteau of Booth’s hometown, Ithaca, Michigan.

The looks of a classic WWII knife with the fit and finish of a modern favorite. A high-end version of the impressive original, Ken Onion’s Homefront™ Compact is a distinguished folding knife with a liner lock. It has a shorter drop point blade made of premium S35VN steel and includes details like a traditional non-assisted flipper opening and a lanyard hole for easy fob customization. Contrasted with the light G10 handle, the black blade in a DLC finish gives this everyday carry a look that commands attention.

Pure in form and function.This slip joint version of the Pup takes knifemaker Richard Rogers’ simple-is-better approach into ultra-high-end territory. It’s the same unobtrusive everyday carry that slides easily into a pocket or purse, but now outfitted with a Super Dense Twist™ Damasteel® blade and stunning titanium handle with carbon fiber inlays. Despite its size, Rogers worked to ensure the blade deploys just as quickly and smoothly as a larger knife thanks to IKBS™ bearings and a carefully positioned flipper tab. The slip joint gives it a satisfying, traditional feel that knife enthusiasts know well.Elevate your experience with the optional Folding Knife Leather Sheath. This inspired accessory is made in Italy with full grain leather and features a wire pocket clip.

An inspired design from the son of a legend. The son of legendary knifemaker Ken Onion has big shoes to fill. But if his first CRKT knife is any indication, Kenny Onion will be casting his own shadow instead of standing in his father’s. An EDC with a stately appearance, the Bamboozled™ is a refined folder that blurs the lines between classic and modern—the fine watch of the knife world, with an understated elegance that will impress anyone savvy enough to know where to look. The Bamboozled™ pairs its timeless looks with utilitarian materials, including a coated D2 blade for superb edge retention and a grippy G10 handle with a black stainless steel bolster. It uses both Assisted Opening — his Father’s Speedsafe technology — and IKBS™ bearings for fast and smooth action.

Bamboozled™ Assisted

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® Zap morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Now built with Grivory®—a strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplastic—it’s more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.

Provoke® Grivory®
