CRKT Knife on cutting board surround by peppers.

CRKT knife

This small knife is a big deal. The Squid™ is known as the perfect everyday carry knife, expertly combining simplicity, usability, and performance. Neither brash nor flashy, it’s the humble light-duty truck of the knife world — dependable, rock solid, and remarkably capable. Now, renowned designer Lucas Burnley has reforged it into a smaller, more agile version in the Squid™ Compact. This affordable folding knife is an everyday carry for everybody.

Squid™ Compact Frame Lock

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 frame lock for safety and Assisted Opening for super fast deployment. Be careful where you point it.

Squid™ Assisted

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® is a 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.

At home in the understory. Compact as a wren with a bite as big as a bear, the Jenny Wren™ Compact outdoor tomahawk is built to thrive in the backwoods and beyond. With three edged sides, no branch, log, or camp meal is safe.

Build a Nice Log Cabin Fire. Heck, Build a Nice Log Cabin Home. This two-handed camp axe with a hickory handle, hot forged blade, and hammerhead will make your life easier when you’re off the grid. Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical in Chattanooga, TN designed The Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk. A specialist in applying modern engineering to centuries old tool and weapon concepts, he is upping the ante once again with a new outdoor line of tomahawks that swing as big as the open wilderness where they’re found.

Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk

Half hatchet, half axe. Fully built to withstand all tasks. Designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, the Chogan™ Hatchet is based on a classic rifelman’s tomahawk hatchet from 1804. Made from a solid chunk of 1055 carbon steel that is hot forged into a rock-solid head, this multipurpose tool splits the work of setting up your campsite in half. Equipped with a tough, yet lightweight glass-reinforced nylon handle made to withstand humidity, this hatchet axe combo chops up kindling to keep your fire roaring, while hammering stakes deep into the ground. Both practical and tactical, you’ll never feel more confident with this in your adventure bag.

Chogan™ Hatchet

A multitool in an axe, sent from the gods. With its dual-purpose head that features a standard axe blade on one side and a spike on the other, the Odr™ chops like an axe and breaks ground like a pick. It’s a versatile tool to have on hand at camp or home, perfect for splitting wood or breaking through rocky earth. Elmer Roush's charity of choice for this axe is the <a href="https://greenberetfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Beret Foundation</a>.

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.

Odr™ Axe

Own the outdoors with this go-anywhere, do-anything axe. Named after its 1st-century Norse forebear, the Skeggox is a compact bearded axe built to withstand the test of time. Designed by James Williams, this modern incarnation uses a full tang for exceptional strength and SK-5 carbon steel for superior edge retention. Go ahead, make the Vikings jealous.

This timeless tool is ready for new adventures. From the trenches of WWI comes the Chogan™ Mattock, a tool purpose-built for portability. Based on the common digging tool used by British infantry, the head can be removed from the handle for compact storage in the included woven nylon carrying sheath to stash in your vehicle, on a backpack, or in your tool shed. What’s more, that same handle is compatible with the tomahawk head from the Chogan™ T-Hawk, giving you the option to wield two tools with one handle for either more versatility or redundancy.

Both practical and tactical, this hammer axe combo chops all of the firewood you’ll ever need, along with effortlessly hammering your tent’s stakes deep into the ground. A multi-purposeful carry, it makes perfect sense in any adventure bag.

Chogan™ Hammer

Norse design with a soul that’s all American. Why meddle with an axe shape that has been tried and true for over a thousand years? That’s the logic designer and veteran Elmer Roush brings to the Freyr™ tactical axe. The deep beard echoes Viking style. But its balance and pure burliness boosts it into a contemporary league all its own. Shield and Viking battle cry not included.
