Designer Ray Kirk has put his spin on the concept of an emergency strap cutter with his new K.E.R.T.™ (Keyring Emergency Rescue Tool).

K.E.R.T.™ (Keyring. Emergency. Rescue. Tool.)

Work In the Front. All Comfort in the Back. The M21™ G10 series offers up unsurpassed cutting power featuring deep-bellied spear point blades in the front, and lightweight, insulating, tough G10 handles in the back. In the middle is you, happy, and ready to take on tasks. Legendary custom knifemaker Kit Carson designed the M21™ series. His knives have been a long-time staple of military forces worldwide and Kit wanted to create a premium knife that was everything you could ask for in a high quality work blade, but at a great price. He succeeded with a heavy-duty knife series that's tough enough for whatever life throws your way.

Looks can be deceiving. A situation that calls for self defense is, by nature, unexpected. The smartest are those who think ahead. That’s where the James Williams Defense Pen II comes into play. Disguised as a sophisticated writing instrument, its defense end carries a powerful punch. This is subtlety at its finest.

In the process of developing our line of Carson special forces G10 M16® models, it became apparent that there was a demand for these models from coalition forces serving in desert environments. These models have Desert Tan blade and scales.

M21™-14DSFG Spear Point

Here's one of those knives that is real tough to pass up, thanks to a solid "no nonsense" design. Need a new knife to call your "ol' reliable"? This straight forward folding knife is both fundamentally sound and physically fit for today's knife enthusiasts. We put the utility driven, drop-point blade shape into a progressively functional handle design complete with finger grooves and slight palm swell. Handles are G10 with blackened stainless steel liners.

Endorser™ Assisted

Back and ready for action. Reimagined from the late Kit Carson’s fan-favorite M16®, this modern tactical folding knife packs three revolutionary innovations into a single design. Locked and loaded, the M16®-04DB combines Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, creating the ultimate everyday carry you’ll definitely want to have on your side. It might be a classic, but this knife is built to perform in the modern world.

M16®-04DB Deadbolt®

Forget the fine tip. The Razel™ /ray-zuhl/ GT boldly challenges the blade shape norm. While this everyday carry folder’s stubby profile is its defining quality, the Assisted Opening innovation deploys the blade at incredible speeds. An all-new take on tradition.

Razel™ GT Assisted

Thinner, lighter, universal. The original Crossbones is an extremely versatile everyday carry knife for cutting meat, opening envelopes, and everything in between. Designed under the tutelage of master designer Ken Onion, it holds up to high standards while reflecting a fresh, new design and function. The Crossbones practically disappears when you slide it into your pocket, but it’ll come out ready to face any task at hand.

Built on an American hero’s legacy. It wasn’t until half a century after he served, that Forged by War® designer Austin McGlaun discovered his late uncle won the Silver Star at Point Du Hoc. To honor his service, he designed this colossal karambit fixed blade knife. With the help of Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, it’s been perfected as a mission-inspired eye catcher from the tip of the recurved blade to the thumb ring at the end of the handle. Austin McGlaun's charity of choice for this knife is the <a href=" https://purplehearthomesusa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purple Heart Homes</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™ Fixed

A featherweight build for whatever ends up on the camp menu. The fixed-blade Biwa™ /bee-wah/ hunting and fishing knife tucks away as inconspicuously as a few dry flies, but comes out swinging when a high-alpine trout hits your line. This version features a black micarta handle, a full-tang blade with upgraded 12C27 steel, and a stitched black leather sheath.

Biwa™ Fixed

There's nothing like the real thing. The original K.I.S.S.®, with its Tanto-inspired blade and bead-blast finish, is the revolutionary high-tech statement by Knifemakers' Guild member and K.I.S.S.® designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan. It stands for "Keep It Super Simple." The Original K.I.S.S.® blade shape is Tanto-inspired—Chisel-Point grind on the front and flat on the backside—so that when the blade is closed onto its handle/frame, the precision fit effectively "seals" the cutting edge to the frame, even though it's exposed. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds are available. Both blade and frame are 3CR13 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.

K.I.S.S.® Keep. It. Super. Simple.
