CRKT knife

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.

Pilar® III Frame Lock

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® Orange morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Now built with Grivory®—a strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplastic—it’s more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.

Provoke® Grivory®

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.

CEO Thumbstud

Specifically built for anything that needs to be cut. These compact fixed blade neck knives with tough handles come in a variety of different blade styles. In the woods or around the house they feel equally at home.

Minimalist® Keramin™

We have produced Kit Carson's popular M16® line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values.

M16®-13ZLEK Spear Point

If It Still Looks This Good a Year From Now, We Want It Back. This everyday carry pocket knife is designed just like the tactical version that inspired it—to be used. That's why it’s overbuilt with an open build frame, high carbon stainless steel blade, and the signature Carson Flipper. Admire it. Then put it to work. The M16® Z everyday carry series was designed by Vine Grove, Kentucky's legendary custom knifemaker and retired Sgt. Major Harold "Kit" Carson. After years of crafting knives for military use, he answered the call when it came to creating one for the civilian population. Now people everywhere have a blade that’s ready for the line of duty in whatever capacity they see fit.

M16®-10KZ Tanto

It’s a pistol of a knife: it obliterates tasks. This Lucas Burnley-designed everyday carry knife is compact in stature but packs some heat in the features department. It comes with a handle available in silver stonewash or black stonewash, a frame lock for safety, and friction grooves on the drop-point blade for a secure grip. Be careful where you point it.

Squid™ Thumbstud

Precision is power. Knifemaker Alan Folts introduces the Minimalist® Katana, a design that’s just as much about control as it is capability. Following in the footsteps of the original Minimalist® with a slightly larger blade, you can still revel in its lightweight, portable composition for on-the-road versatility. Grabbing hold of the three finger grip handle, you’ll know right away—this is a Minimalist® through and through.

Minimalist® Katana

The sidekick that springs into action. This Lucas Burnley everyday carry knife gleams strength and durability at the heart of its design. Complete with Assisted Opening, the knife’s flipper deploys the blade fast, teaming with the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot for added smoothness. Never worry about who’s got your back again.

Squid™ Assisted

It’s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid™ to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry, the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality. Now, Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design, bringing us the larger SQUID™ XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry, the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small—and is now recognized as a bit more “extra medium” in size.

Squid™ XM Frame Lock

Singularly built for anything that needs to be cut. The Minimalist™ line is a series of compact, fixed-blade knives designed to handle a variety of tasks. They feel equally at home in the woods or around the house. This version features a drop point blade with 154CM steel for superior edge retention, as well as a black micarta which, along with the included stitched leather sheath, gives it a refined appearance over the standard model.

Minimalist® Drop Point

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® Zap morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Now built with Grivory®—a strong, lightweight, engineered thermoplastic—it’s more lightweight, adept, and crafted to go anywhere.
