Rancher 1 1450x1450

An homage to his roots. World-renowned designer Ken Onion made Hawaii home many years ago. So, to pay tribute to his deep love of the island’s rich culture and verdant landscape, he designed the Bona Fide™ OD GREEN everyday carry folding knife to suggest the shape of a traditional Hawaiian waʻa, or canoe. And with Field Strip Gen II, it’s just as powerful as it looks.

Bona Fide™ Field Strip

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

The Drifter Black is an everyday carry folding pocket knife with durable handle scales and a stainless steel drop point blade. The knife features an interframe build with stainless steel liners and a stainless steel pocket clip. It is available in both G10 and stainless steel handle versions. Never drift off course.

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

Jumping out of the history book and into your pocket. Like an old-world Persian fixed blade, the Ritual™ tactical folding knife has a long, drastic blade curve and a substantial handle. But what makes it fit for a modern carry is the powerful Assisted Opening innovation that snaps open at lightning-fast speeds. It’s perfect for doing battle in ancient Persia and for making quick work of a package on your doorstep.

Ritual™ Assisted

A noteworthy tool in history; a defining design in the CRKT story. The day Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical introduced us to his original design for the Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk in 2014 was a memorable one at our headquarters. Now, we’re releasing a CRKT.com exclusive replete with a black magnesium phosphate coating on the head for corrosion resistance, a durable leather sheath, and an aesthetically cool firewood-burned handle. The result: same badass tool. Entirely new look.

Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk

Homage: Paid. The M16® is the most popular series that CRKT® has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered custom knife designer Kit Carson with this new frame-lock iteration of his legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.

M16®-04KS Tanto

A new-fashioned twist on a classic carry. Available in a limited run, the A.P.C. (Always. Pocket. Carry.) is an updated take on the classic slip joint folding knife. Created by seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, the A.P.C. is crafted from premium materials—like M390 blade steel and a handsome Fat Carbon Dark Matter handle—with an improved slip joint design that prevents galling and reduces the overall weight of the knife. The traditional details, like the nail nick for easy opening, are complemented by its high tech features that make it lightweight, compact, and ready for action.

  A.P.C.  (Always. Pocket. Carry.)

James Williams, the designer of the Hissatsu™, is a former Army officer and martial arts practitioner/instructor with over 45 years of experience. His system of defensive tactics, known as The System of Tactical Strategy, has its origins in the ancient Samurai military systems as well as the Russian military art of Systema.

Hissatsu™ Fixed

Built for your toughest battles – with boxes. The M16® stainless steel series comes from a long line of military tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this everyday carry version of the legendary M16® knife. Featuring a black EDP blade finish built for corrosion resistance, a frame lock for safety, the Carson Flipper deployment system, and Triple Point™ Serrations; it’s almost more than you need. Almost.

M16®-10KSF Tanto

More Than a Knife, It’s a Threat Extinguisher. A large folding tactical knife with our manual safety innovation, it’s specifically designed for one reason: to say sayonara to any evil that comes your way in close quarter battle environments. The Otanashi noh Ken™ is designed by the venerable James Williams of Encinitas, CA. A veteran and martial arts practitioner/instructor, he knows cutlery—especially the tactical variety. In fact, his knife designs have quickly become mainstays within the military Special Forces and tactical Law Enforcement communities across the globe. So when SOCOM needed a larger, thinner, folding combat knife that was easy to carry and conceal, Williams answered the call.

Otanashi Noh Ken™ Frame Lock

The Special Forces G10 models share a unique design offering a combination of Carson M16 Series features requested by military procurement specialists. The dual grind Tanto blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt— very rare in folding knives.
