Sometimes it’s good to be the little fish. Made in the USA, the Minnow is an everyday carry that’s swift, sturdy, and—you guessed it—small. The automatic button release deploys the blade with lightning speed, while the best-in-class MagnaCut steel offers incredible strength and edge retention. Fully opened, the compact profile measures just under 4.5 inches, with a small blade designed for legal carry in states like California. To top it off, the green linen micarta handle gives it an elegant finish, making this one little fish that stands out from the shoal.

Unleash your imagination.Equal parts genius and magician, custom knifemaker Princeton Wong never fails to deliver imaginative, captivating, and supremely unique designs. The Nucleus is a striking example of his individual approach to knifemaking; it looks like no other folder, its aggressive angles carving the profile of a stealth fighter. This upgraded version is made in Italy and features MagnaCut blade steel for an unbeatable combination of toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Princeton drew inspiration from the giant robots, or mecha, featured in his favorite childhood TV show, Mobile Suit Gundam. But it’s not just about looks; the Nucleus can be opened in three different ways thanks to front and rear flippers and a finger hole in the blade.

 Nucleus  Frame Lock

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.

River knife. Rescue knife. Whatever you call it, it gets the job done. The Bear Claw™ is a compact fixed blade knife that features a blunt tip, preventing point penetration, making it a safer carry around rafts and inflatables. The hawkbill blade is made with corrosion-resistant steel and lined with Veff Serrations™ that deliver effortless cuts, making quick work of ropes and straps. Over the years, the Bear Claw™ has become the go-to favorite among whitewater rafters, river guides, water sports enthusiasts, and emergency response personnel. The bright orange handle has a finger retention hole that makes it secure to hold in wet conditions, while the sheath comes with multiple mounting options for quick access in emergency situations—so you can focus on the task at hand.

The pocket knife for a civilized world.When custom knifemaker Princeton Wong’s wine-enthusiast friend asked if he could design a pocket knife with a corkscrew, Princeton — never one to back down from a technical problem-solving challenge — couldn’t say no. The result was the Fion custom, a mechanically elegant folding knife that concealed a corkscrew and boot lever within its handle. It was Princeton’s first entry into Blade Show and it earned him the Best New Maker award. Now, the spirit of the Fion has been reborn in the Fial™, which carries over all of its innovations and functionality. Marvel at how the boot lever nearly invisibly aligns with the contours of the lightweight titanium handle, and easily slice through charcuterie with the powerful M390 blade.

Power in simplicity. Designed by Darriel Caston of D Rocket Design, the MinimalX™ is an evolution of a knife originally made for SpaceX to commemorate a rocket launch. Darriel’s work caught the eye of someone in the company who commissioned him to make a custom series of knives for the crew. The MinimalX™ is all about fitting as much strength and durability into as small a package as possible, for a capable everyday carry you can take anywhere—even to outer space.

 MinimalX™  Frame Lock

Old West character meets modern utility. The Redemption® is based on legendary knifemaker Ken Onion’s Deadman’s Hand custom, a tribute to the knives carried by the outlaws and poker players of the Wild West, and named after the aces-and-eights hand Wild Bill Hickok purportedly held at the time of his death. The Redemption® brings this classic folder into the modern age and is Ken’s first CRKT knife to incorporate a Crossbar Lock. Made in the U.S.A. in collaboration with Hogue Knives, it uses CPM MagnaCut blade steel for incredible strength and edge retention.

  Redemption®   Crossbar Lock

A contemporary knife steeped in tradition. The Forebear is an everyday carry with a classic slip joint mechanism based on a pivotal, centuries-old design that remains popular to this day. Built to handle cutting tasks of all sizes, it features a two-blade design with larger and smaller Wharncliffe blades that open at opposite ends of the handle. Crafted from quality materials, the blades use 12C27 steel with a nail nick for easy opening and the handle is made of textured Ultem for extra grip. All in all, it’s a strong and lightweight folding knife with a time-honored design.

Strength, meet speed.From the Forged by War® program comes Austin McGlaun’s Du Hoc™, named in remembrance of his uncle’s D-Day landing at Pointe du Hoc. Much like the Rangers who scaled the 100-foot Normandy cliffs under heavy enemy fire, this knife does the impossible. It transforms Austin’s large, fixed-blade karambit into a pocketable folding knife without sacrificing the notable strength of the original, thanks to a powerful Deadbolt® lock and a smaller—but still generous—3.6-inch blade. Armed with Assisted Opening, the blade can be rapidly deployed with either the flipper or thumb stud. The G10 handle with thumb ring aids ergonomics and provides an extra secure grip.Austin McGlaun's charity of choice for this knife is <a href="https://backcountryveterans.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Idaho Backcountry Veterans</a>.Established in 2016, <a href=" https://www.crkt.com/forged-by-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Forged by War® program</a> spearheaded a collaboration between CRKT and Veterans, inviting real life warriors to apply their knowledge and experience to design a specialty line of mission-ready knives and tools. In addition to receiving commission on their designs, a portion of the profits are donated to the Veterans’ charity of choice. CRKT is proud to offer this dedicated collection to support the participating charities on a national level.

Du Hoc™ Deadbolt®

Ancient symbol. Cultural icon. Stunning knife. Inspired by the elegant wading bird, the Ibis is an edc folding knife with a subtle curve along the spine of the blade, giving the knife a distinctive profile. Based on a custom design from Lucas Burnley, this iteration of the Ibis is crafted from ultra-premium materials. The S35VN steel drop point blade has a prominent belly for ample cutting edge and is well-suited for slicing tasks. Between the black stonewash finish on the blade and titanium handle, this everyday carry is a striking tribute to a majestic bird. To quote Burnley on his inspired design: “It just looks good.”
