A lightweight outdoor knife with heavyweight utility. While the early American conservationist who lent the Nessmuk knife its name valued function over form, veteran knifemaker Alan Folts skillfully marries the two in the Minimalist® Nessmuk, pairing durable D2 steel with a sleek, easy-to-grip micarta handle and a versatile sheath that can be worn around the neck or easily mounted on a pack or belt. 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.

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.

Forest-fit and river-ready. No one knows the importance of being well-equipped for the wilderness like the hunters and anglers of Alaska’s Kasilof Peninsula, a region known for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife—big and small. That’s why the American-made Kasilof™ is the perfect complement to the big game-ready Soldotna Fixed. Whether you’re cleaning kings or field-dressing a spruce chicken, the lightweight skeletonized handle and nearly four-inch drop-point blade of the Kasilof™ will be up for the task. Like the Soldotna, the Kasilof™ features a durable, Cerakote® coated 1095 carbon steel blade and a micarta handle for the perfect balance of beauty and strength. Complete with a bespoke leather sheath you can wear on your belt, the Kasilof™ is a necessary part of your ready-for-anything hunting and fishing kit.

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.

The iconic Squid™ pushes all the right buttons. The Squid™ XM is a versatile everyday carry just like its smaller predecessor, but with a bit more reach from a longer blade—it’s not quite large, just “extra medium.” The latest addition to the Squid™ XM family features a manually deployed blade and fidget-friendly button lock. The black oxide coated D2 blade stands up to hard use, while the blue textured G10 handle offers positive grip in all conditions. The blade deploys smoothly thanks to an easy-to-access thumb stud paired with IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot. Extra medium in size, big on capability—the Squid™ XM with button lock strikes the perfect balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality.

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.
