Heads or tails, this knife is a win-win. Inspired by its namesake, the Obverse is a distinguished folding knife designed to show its face. Made with premium M390 steel, the satin-finish sheepsfoot blade is both sleek and durable, while the carbon fiber handle with blue anodized titanium detailing combines strength with style. Function is not forgotten, with a secure liner lock for easy closing with one hand. Whichever way you look at it, this everyday carry is a subtle balance of beauty and brawn.

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 G10 for excellent all-weather grip. All in all, it’s a strong and lightweight folding knife with a time-honored design.

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® III with D2 blade steel transforms the minimalist’s sailor tool into a distinctly urban everyday carry folding knife, while keeping intact the spirit of the classic and epic tale behind its name – Hemingway’s adventure boat was the Pilar. The Earth Brown G10 handle contributes to the knife’s understated looks and provides exceptional grip.

From skill-searching student to seasoned sage. The Padawan name is a nod to the days when Brazilian designer Pedro Buzetti apprenticed under renowned knifemaker Flavio Ikoma, the inventor of the revolutionary Deadbolt® Lock. But that doesn’t mean this capable folding knife is anything but expertly crafted. It’s a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a testament to Buzetti’s relentless pursuit of knifemaking perfection. Retaining the original Padawan’s 14C28N blade steel and smooth-opening IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot, the newest addition to the Padawan family elevates the knife with a refined aesthetic and premium materials, like a striking, wear-resistant carbon fiber overlay on the brushed stainless steel handle. Ikoma passed his perfectionism down to Buzetti, a trait that’s made clear by this stunning EDC’s undeniable marriage of function and form.

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.

Small in size, big on capability. Jellyfish have sting; octopi have smarts. But when it comes to marine invertebrates, none come close to matching the speed of the squid. And that’s exactly what makes the latest Squid™ EDC folding knife so special—it’s just as charming and versatile as its popular predecessor, now with a fidget-friendly button lock that’s safe and intuitive to use. The stonewash D2 blade provides excellent edge retention, deploying smoothly thanks to an easy-to-access thumb stud paired with IKBS™ ball bearings in the pivot. The G10 handle can take a beating and offers a grip you can count on, no matter the conditions. Small in size, big on capability—the Squid™ with button lock strikes the perfect balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality.

An OTF with a twist. Be careful looking directly at the hypnotizing handle of the Twist Tighe™ Compact. Once this out-the-front automatic grabs your eye, you might not be able to look away. More than just mesmerizing, the kelp green camo carbon fiber handle is strong, lightweight, and built to comfortably fit anyone’s hand. The double action automatic mechanism makes opening and closing fast and easy, and with two sharpened edges, the MagnaCut spear-point blade can handle any cutting task. But perhaps the most intriguing feature of the American-made Twist Tighe™ Compact is its designer Brian Tighe — a longtime CRKT collaborator and multi-faceted knifemaker known for his bold designs and impeccable craftsmanship.

Lightweight utility in an all titanium package. Made of a single piece of titanium in a bead blast finish, the ultra-compact HangTi™ fixed blade is the perfect companion for lite-duty cutting tasks. The versatile drop point blade shape on the HangTi™ makes this featherweight knife ideal for slicing and cutting tasks, while the included leather fob provides a bit more purchase when gripping the handle. The HangTi™ comes with a durable Kydex sheath with a lanyard and can be worn around the neck, tucked into a pocket or easily attached to a pack.

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 nearly invisibly aligns with the contours of the lightweight titanium handle, and easily slice through charcuterie with the powerful M390 blade.

From the heavens to your hand. The blacked out Mbombo™ isn’t just a knife; it’s a testament to the fusion of ancient inspiration and modern metallurgy—a work of art aptly named for the Kuba god of creation. But while this EDC folder’s name has primordial roots, its engineering is advanced, inspired by a commemorative design custom-made for the crew of a SpaceX launch. Known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, the black titanium nitride-coated M390 blade delivers strength and sharpness with every cut, deploying at impressive speeds thanks to the smooth-opening IKBS™ ball bearing pivot. With a sleek, black titanium handle that’s lightweight and easily pocketable, the Mbombo’s unique design and capability make it a suitable EDC for any environment, from urban streets to outer space.
