Power in simplicity. Designed by Darriel Caston of D Rocket Design, the MinimalX™ is an evolution of a knife originally made for SpaceX to commemorate a rocket launch. Darriel’s work caught the eye of someone in the company who commissioned him to make a custom series of knives for the crew. The MinimalX™ is all about fitting as much strength and durability into as small a package as possible, for a capable everyday carry you can take anywhere—even to outer space.

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.

Old West character meets modern utility. The Redemption® is based on legendary knifemaker Ken Onion’s Deadman’s Hand custom, a tribute to the knives carried by the outlaws and poker players of the Wild West, and named after the aces-and-eights hand Wild Bill Hickok purportedly held at the time of his death. The Redemption® brings this classic folder into the modern age and is Ken’s first CRKT knife to incorporate a Crossbar Lock. Made in the U.S.A. in collaboration with Hogue Knives, it uses CPM MagnaCut blade steel for incredible strength and edge retention.

With a deep belly, strong tip, and hollow grind—the Nessmuk is a proven outdoor knife favored by the hunting, fishing, and bush crafting communities thanks to its efficient and versatile cutting abilities. The Minimalist® Nessmuk’s stylish design, comfortable grip, and do-all cutting ability will make this lightweight knife your constant companion in the great outdoors.

The iconic Squid™ pushes all the right buttons.

Squid™ XM Gray Folding Knife with Button Lock 2495G

The pocket knife for a civilized world.When custom knifemaker Princeton Wong’s wine-enthusiast friend asked if he could design a pocket knife with a corkscrew, Princeton — never one to back down from a technical problem-solving challenge — couldn’t say no. The result was the Fion custom, a mechanically elegant folding knife that concealed a corkscrew and boot lever within its handle. It was Princeton’s first entry into Blade Show and it earned him the Best New Maker award. Now, the spirit of the Fion has been reborn in the Fial™, which carries over all of its innovations and functionality. Marvel at how the boot lever almost invisibly aligns with contours of the handle, and easily slice through charcuterie with the generous drop-point blade.
