Purity of form. The machined, dynamic and functional design of the Nirk™ Tighe everyday carry folding knife is the centerpiece of your workday and conversations. Crafted around the innovative Klecker Lock, the Nirk™ Tighe is impressively strong even in the midst of tough, dirty jobs.

Nirk™ Tighe Klecker Lock

An everyday carry with a twist. This sleek, tactically-inspired folding knife is a Ken Onion thought experiment realized: what would it look like to put a rectangular knife handle in a vise grip and twist? In classic Onion form, the result is a surprisingly ergonomic and supremely useful everyday carry.

It began like a Christmas wish list. What if we could build Kit Carson's M21™ series just the way a custom knifemaker would: with a G10 and stainless steel InterFrame build and a titanium nitride-coated premium stainless steel blade? What if we could bring it in at a very competitive value price? Just like a kid on Christmas morning, we got everything we wanted. And so can you.

M21™-12G Drop Point

For years, Kit Carson's M16® designs have been our most popular series. And our Z version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad. And they are exceptional values.

M16®-13Z Tanto

The M16® series comes from a long line of military grade tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this proven knife design platform made simple, tough, and affordable.

M16®-03Z Spear Point

A hero knifemaker’s legacy that keeps on giving. One of the most beloved tactical folding knives is back. This time, with a compact build and the same trusty, super effective rope and cord-cutting Veff Serrations™ that defines its parent knife, the M21™-14SFG. This is a knife that’s as specialized as those who use it.

Built of nostalgia. Inspired by the legendary Tony Bose’s custom Lanny's Clip, the Lanny™ everyday carry folding knife takes a classic slip joint style and brings it into the future with the Assisted Opening innovation for incredibly fast opening speeds. Call it your most nostalgic, yet futuristic carry.

Lanny Assisted

Sharper than a hawk’s vision. Knife designer Liong Mah achieves design minimalism without sacrifice to impressive functionality. With the Mah-Hawk™ knife, a compact, everyday folding knife built with Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™, you know you’re in a good place to face whatever the day throws at you.

The Ripsnort™ Returns. Following in the footsteps of the original Ripsnort™, designer Philip Booth ushers in the next chapter with the Ripsnort™ II. The cleaver style blade is slightly larger than the original, yet still thin as a razor and ready for hard use. Matching the original in performance, the Ripsnort™ II continues to be a fan-favorite carry with more power packed into a folding knife design. It won’t be hard to make a solid impression with the Ripsnort™ II—this low-profile folding knife stands out in style and function.

Ripsnort™ II Liner Lock

A premium spin on a hardworking knife. The original Drifter is a go-to everyday carry, a knife that can take a beating and won’t let you down. Now upgraded with 12C27 blade steel and Veff Serrations™, this new version features improved edge retention and the ability to easily cut through rope or other fibrous material. Paired with a micarta handle, it is strong, comfortable, and looks incredible in a new all-black finish.

Drifter Liner Lock

Familiar. Just like an old friend. The Kith is designed by veteran knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, who takes inspiration from traditional midlock joints and backlock folders to create a whole new approach with his front lock design. Intuitively constructed, opening the blade feels second-nature, giving this knife’s Old English name for “friend” a whole other meaning.

Kith Front Lock

Born of flames. Seriously. The Septimo™ tactical folder was designed by a seasoned Green Beret to be more than a knife—he forged it of experience and created it to serve as a lifeline. One unique Veff Serration™ pairs with a powerful design to act as a strap cutter, utility knife, and personal defense tool. Serving 14 years as an American hero culminated in this deployment-prepared powerhouse.
