Rancher 1 1450x1450

A new-fashioned twist on a classic carry. Available in a limited run, the A.P.C. (Always. Pocket. Carry.) is an updated take on the classic slip joint folding knife. Created by seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, the A.P.C. is crafted from premium materials—like M390 blade steel and a handsome Fat Carbon Dark Matter handle—with an improved slip joint design that prevents galling and reduces the overall weight of the knife. The traditional details, like the nail nick for easy opening, are complemented by its high tech features that make it lightweight, compact, and ready for action.

  A.P.C.  (Always. Pocket. Carry.)

A knife that’s dressed for success. At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket, that’s exactly the way the CEO folding knife was designed. A supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, this design embodies the working spirit of everyday carry.

Built for your toughest battles – with boxes. The M16® stainless steel series comes from a long line of military tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this everyday carry version of the legendary M16® knife. Featuring a black EDP blade finish built for corrosion resistance, a frame lock for safety, the Carson Flipper deployment system, and Triple Point™ Serrations; it’s almost more than you need. Almost.

A classic comeback. The popular M16® design by the late Kit Carson makes a comeback with the stainless steel series. Packing even more power and functionality than before, the three versions offer a range of blade size and construction—so you can choose which one serves you best. Keeping all the fan-favorite features from Kit’s line of tactical folders, then reimagined as an everyday carry, the M16®-02SS adds even more strength and performance to the mix. Built with a tanto, high-quality 12C27 blade for excellent edge retention, it’s topped with a bead blast finish to reduce any unwanted glare or reflection. Hailing from a true classic, the stainless steel M16®-02SS is a whole other caliber of comeback.

Homage: Paid. The M16® is the most popular series that CRKT® has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered custom knife designer Kit Carson with this new frame-lock iteration of his legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.

M16®-04KS Tanto

Jumping out of the history book and into your pocket. Like an old-world Persian fixed blade, the Ritual™ tactical folding knife has a long, drastic blade curve and a substantial handle. But what makes it fit for a modern carry is the powerful Assisted Opening innovation that snaps open at lightning-fast speeds. It’s perfect for doing battle in ancient Persia and for making quick work of a package on your doorstep.

Ritual™ Assisted

The Drifter Black is an everyday carry folding pocket knife with durable handle scales and a stainless steel drop point blade.

A noteworthy tool in history; a defining design in the CRKT story. The day Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical introduced us to his original design for the Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk in 2014 was a memorable one at our headquarters. Now, we’re releasing a CRKT.com exclusive replete with a black magnesium phosphate coating on the head for corrosion resistance, a durable leather sheath, and an aesthetically cool firewood-burned handle. The result: same badass tool. Entirely new look.

Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk

Where minimal design meets maximum utility—just a little bit bigger. With a larger blade and a handsome stonewash finish, the Pilar® Large keeps the spirit of the bestselling original and the epic tale behind its name. It’s understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.

Pilar® Frame Lock

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® is a super compact everyday carry folder with distinctive minimalist design and an epic tale behind its name. It’s low profile and understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® III with D2 Blade Steel transforms the minimalist’s sailor knife into a distinctly urban everyday carry folder while keeping the spirit of the classic and the epic tale behind its name. It’s still low profile and understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.
