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 Designed by Darriel Caston of D Rocket Design, the MinimalX™ is an evolution of a knife originally made for SpaceX to commemorate a rocket launch.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.

Never underestimate an apprentice. Introducing: the Padawan. Pedro Buzetti’s first design with CRKT, this capable folding knife is available in two versions. The 6075 was made for utility, with a Wharncliffe blade made from 14C28N steel and a G10 overlay on the handle to withstand heavy use. The frame lock was modified to keep the blade secure and prevent over-traveling, and the clip lets the knife sit low in the pocket. Why name it the Padawan? As an apprentice of renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma—known to some as the “Master”—Buzetti's role as “padawan” was the perfect inspiration to debut his first design.

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.
