A contemporary knife steeped in tradition. The Forebear is an everyday carry with a classic slip joint mechanism based on a pivotal, centuries-old design that remains popular to this day. Built to handle cutting tasks of all sizes, it features a two-blade design with larger and smaller Wharncliffe blades that open at opposite ends of the handle. Crafted from quality materials, the blades use 12C27 steel with a nail nick for easy opening and the handle is made of textured Ultem for extra grip. All in all, it’s a strong and lightweight folding knife with a time-honored design.

Push cuts, slicing, scraping – the Folding Razel™ does it all A mechanic by trade, Jon Graham always appreciated the utility of a chisel while in the shop. When Jon began making knives in the ‘80s, he found success combining the functionality of a chisel with the precision of a razor and made the Razel™ – a playful portmanteau of “razor” and “chisel”. Today, Jon’s iconic Razel™ series spans large fixed blades, folders, compact pocket fixed blades and even a small axe. The Folding Razel™ features a lightly curved 3.13" main cutting edge and 1.25" straight chisel tip edge in high carbon stainless steel, which is ideal for push cuts, slicing, scraping, and everything in between. The knife has contoured micarta handles for secure grip, an easy to access liner lock featuring Manual Liner Safety, and a thumb stud for fast opening. Two different types of removeable pocket clips are included, allowing multiple way to carry the knife. How Manual Liner Safety Works: The Manual Liner Safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position.

Being a retired Sgt. Major, Kit was happy to oblige.

Adorned in details yet powerfully simple, the Xolotl™ /show-low-tl/ is an everyday carry folding knife with a tactical spirit. It hardly occupies more space than a fountain pen but comes out swinging with a fast flipper opening and a sleek, spear-point blade. From the 14th century battlefield to the modern pocket, the Xolotl™ is the knife to have on hand. Michael Rodriguez's charity of choice for this knife is the <a href="https://www.gwotmemorialfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation</a>.

Sometimes it’s good to be the little fish. Made in the USA, the Minnow is an everyday carry that’s swift, sturdy, and—you guessed it—small. The automatic button release deploys the blade with lightning speed, while the best-in-class MagnaCut steel offers incredible strength and edge retention. Fully opened, the compact profile measures just under 4.5 inches, with a small blade designed for legal carry in states like California. To top it off, the green linen micarta handle gives it an elegant finish, making this one little fish that stands out from the shoal.

Introducing: the Padawan. Why name it the Padawan? As an apprentice to renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma—known to some as the “Master”—Buzetti's role as “padawan” was the perfect inspiration to debut his first design. Pedro Buzetti’s first knife design with CRKT, this capable folding knife was crafted for form and function, with a drop point blade made from 14C28N steel, and a handsome micarta overlay on the handle for improved grip. The frame lock was modified to keep the blade secure, and the clip lets the knife sit low in the pocket.

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.
