Never underestimate an apprentice. Introducing: the Padawan. Pedro Buzetti’s first design with CRKT, this capable folding knife is available in two versions. The 6075 was made for utility, with a Wharncliffe blade made from 14C28N steel and a G10 overlay on the handle to withstand heavy use. The frame lock was modified to keep the blade secure and prevent over-traveling, and the clip lets the knife sit low in the pocket. Why name it the Padawan? As an apprentice of renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma—known to some as the “Master”—Buzetti's role as “padawan” was the perfect inspiration to debut his first design.

Work In the Front. All Comfort in the Back. The M21™ G10 series offers up unsurpassed cutting power featuring deep-bellied spear point blades in the front, and lightweight, insulating, tough G10 handles in the back. In the middle is you, happy, and ready to take on tasks. Retired Sgt. Major and legendary custom knifemaker Kit Carson of Vine Grove, KY designed the M21™ series. His knives have been a long-time staple of military forces worldwide and Kit wanted to create a premium knife that was everything you could ask for in a high quality work blade, but at a great price. He succeeded with a heavy-duty knife series that’s tough enough for whatever life throws your way.

The small fish that rules any pond. Though small, the Tuna™ Compact evokes the power of one of the world’s largest and fastest fish. It takes the subtle elegance of designer Lucas Burnley’s original Tuna™ and shrinks it down into an ultra-compact folding knife. With a profile that suggests strong forward momentum and a blade shape that looks like a deep-sea carnivore, this everyday carry slices through packages and boxes faster than a Bluefin slices through the swell on a taut line.

Jumping out of the history book with panache. A high-end addition to the Ritual™ family, the Ritual™ Compact is a standout folding pocket knife inspired by old-world Persian fixed blades. Featuring a shorter blade at just over three inches, this stunning everyday carry crafted from Damascus steel is sure to impress, with its signature acid-etch finish and handle accents made from blue anodized titanium. Whether you’re doing battle in ancient Persia or leveling up your collection, do it with a sense of style.

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™ 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.

A homegrown, high-caliber scale release automatic for everyday use. Made in the USA, the Michaca™ is an automatic folding knife with a scale release lock designed by expert knifemaker Philip Booth. Crafted from ultra-premium materials, the drop point blade is made from best-in-class MagnaCut steel with a bead blast finish, while the natural G10 handle offers excellent grip—and sports Booth’s signature stripe. It’s an automatic everyday carry with a dose of style. And the name? It’s a portmanteau of Booth’s hometown of Ithaca, Michigan.

A knife that’s dressed for success. At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket. And that’s exactly the way the CEO Flipper folding knife was designed. With a supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, it embodies the working spirit of everyday carry. This version of the iconic CEO Flipper sports a textured glass-reinforced nylon handle in desert tan, with a coated high carbon stainless steel blade for corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.

The iconic M16® gets a modern upgrade. Battle tested and universally used—the iconic M16® family of knives comes from a long line of military-grade tools. The latest in a line of Carson Desert Tactical Folders developed for coalition forces in the Middle East, the M16®-14XD Tanto improves upon an already iconic design with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock paired with IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot for seamless deployment and easy one-hand closing. The tanto blade in tough D2 steel with Veff Serrations™ offers superior cutting performance in the most demanding situations, while the Grivory® handle keeps the knife lightweight and nimble.

Doesn’t abide by curfews. Great design often comes from unexpected moments. So when knifemaker Russ Kommer’s eight-year-old granddaughter showed him one of her rough sketches, the two began plugging away in Russ’ workshop to refine it into the Curfew™. A sleek everyday carry, this folding knife deploys the blade smoothly and quickly thanks to Ken Onion’s award-winning Assisted Opening. While its original inspiration comes from someone young enough to have a curfew, this knife definitely isn’t bound by one.

Curfew™ Assisted

Strikes like lightning. Knifemaker James Williams’ longstanding history and knowledge of hand-to-hand combat sets the bar for his tactical knife creations—and the Inazuma No Ken™ is no exception to the rule. Inspired by the Otanashi noh Ken™ and the Hissatsu™ Folder, James brings us another Japanese-inspired knife with a name that translates to “lightning sword.” Merging three remarkable innovations—Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot System and Deadbolt® lock—stand back as it quickly and smoothly deploys, locking into place to withstand even the toughest jobs. You’ll see soon enough how it’s rightfully earned its namesake.

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 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.
