Jim Hammond was the first knifemaker to work with CRKT, beginning in 1994. His designs for CRKT folders set new standards of construction for production folding knives.

They call it a killer whale for a reason. Inspired by his favorite animal, Jim Hammond designed the Orca to be powerful, stealthy, and quick—resulting in a small and unassuming folding knife that hides surprising capability. The drop point blade opens in an instant thanks to Assisted Opening, and the D2 blade steel provides excellent edge retention. It can fit into the smallest pockets thanks to its compact size, and stylistically resembles the marine mammal with smooth curves and details that look like dorsal and pectoral fins of the Orcinus Orca.

 Orca Black Assisted Folding Knife with Liner Lock 7930

Fast, powerful, portable. Jim Hammond’s original P.S.D.™ earned its name (Particle. Separation. Device.) for its ability to cut through just about anything, anywhere. The P.S.D.™ II brings that same capability to a smaller, more portable folding knife, shaving over an inch off the total length. You’ll still find a corrosion-resistant, full-recurve blade and Assisted Opening with IKBS™ bearings for fast and easy one-handed operation, but now in an improved form factor for everyday carry.

Engineered for rapid response time. Jim Hammond’s A.B.C. (All. Bases. Covered.) makes its return in an even more versatile form. Now a folder, it brings the varied capabilities of the original fixed blade to a more convenient and compact design. And thanks to Assisted Opening and IKBS™ bearings, it’s still ready to spring to action at a moment’s notice, while the G10 handle provides a strong grip even in adverse weather.
