The standard folding knife that’s anything but. Don’t let the “everyday” in “everyday carry” convince you the Provoke® EDC is just another folding knife. This highly versatile blacked out version of the Provoke® EDC sports a drop point blade made from D2 steel for excellent edge retention and a lightweight aluminum handle that allows it to ride comfortably in a pocket. To operate, nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb—while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle—and the blade lunges to life and locks into place. Shift the discreet lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position. The pocket clip is also a world’s first—sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure.

Provoke® Black Folding Knife with Kinematic® 4050K

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.

Unleash your imagination.Equal parts genius and magician, custom knifemaker Princeton Wong never fails to deliver imaginative, captivating, and supremely unique designs. The Nucleus is a striking example of his individual approach to knifemaking; it looks like no other folder, its aggressive angles carving the profile of a stealth fighter. Princeton drew inspiration from the giant robots, or mecha, featured in his favorite childhood TV show, Mobile Suit Gundam. But it’s not just about looks; the Nucleus can be opened in three different ways thanks to front and rear flippers and a finger hole in the blade.

Powerful, precise, and pocket-sized. Inspired by a quest for spacefaring strength, the blacked out MinimalX™ delivers surgical precision in a compact package. 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. This folding knife 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. Both the stainless steel handle and 12C27 blade have a brush finish and titanium nitride coating for exceptional corrosion resistance. When deployed, it’s secured by a sturdy frame lock integrated directly into the stainless steel handle. It rides low and out of sight in a front pocket thanks to the deep-carry clip, but its small size means it can easily slip into any other pocket comfortably, too.

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.

A lightweight outdoor knife with heavyweight utility.

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.

Strength, meet speed.From the Forged by War® program comes Austin McGlaun’s Du Hoc™, named in remembrance of his uncle’s D-Day landing at Pointe du Hoc. Much like the Rangers who scaled the 100-foot Normandy cliffs under heavy enemy fire, this knife does the impossible. It transforms Austin’s large, fixed-blade karambit into a pocketable folding knife without sacrificing the notable strength of the original, thanks to a powerful Deadbolt® lock and a smaller—but still generous—3.6-inch blade. Armed with Assisted Opening, the blade can be rapidly deployed with either the flipper or thumb stud. The G10 handle with thumb ring aids ergonomics and provides an extra secure grip.Austin McGlaun's charity of choice for this knife is <a href="https://backcountryveterans.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Idaho Backcountry Veterans</a>.Established in 2016, <a href=" https://www.crkt.com/forged-by-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Forged by War® program</a> spearheaded a collaboration between CRKT and Veterans, inviting real life warriors to apply their knowledge and experience to design a specialty line of mission-ready knives and tools.

Du Hoc™ Black Folding Knife with Deadbolt® Lock 2635

Pure in form and function.This slip joint version of the Pup takes knifemaker Richard Rogers’ simple-is-better approach into ultra-high-end territory. It’s the same unobtrusive everyday carry that slides easily into a pocket or purse, but now outfitted with a Super Dense Twist™ Damasteel® blade and stunning titanium handle with carbon fiber inlays. Despite its size, Rogers worked to ensure the blade deploys just as quickly and smoothly as a larger knife thanks to IKBS™ bearings and a carefully positioned flipper tab. The slip joint gives it a satisfying, traditional feel that knife enthusiasts know well.Elevate your experience with the optional Folding Knife Leather Sheath. This inspired accessory is made in Italy with full grain leather and features a wire pocket clip.

Ancient symbol. Cultural icon. Stunning knife. Inspired by the elegant wading bird, the Ibis is an edc folding knife with a subtle curve along the spine of the blade, giving the knife a distinctive profile. Based on a custom design from Lucas Burnley, this iteration of the Ibis is crafted from ultra-premium materials. The S35VN steel drop point blade has a prominent belly for ample cutting edge and is well-suited for slicing tasks. Between the black stonewash finish on the blade and titanium handle, this everyday carry is a striking tribute to a majestic bird. To quote Burnley on his inspired design: “It just looks good.”

 Ibis Black Folding Knife with Frame Lock 2561

High winds are common in the plains of New Mexico, the state designer Richard Rogers calls home. But those winds often leave a thing of beauty in their wake: fields of grass bent in beautiful flowing patterns for as far as the eye can see. The Viento takes its name from the Spanish word for wind, a name inspired by the swoop of the D2-steel sheepsfoot blade, which flows elegantly with the curved G10 handle. The blade can be deployed with either the low-profile flipper tab or a full-length fuller, while the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot ensures the blade opens smoothly. Open or closed, the Viento has a sense of eye-catching movement that feels as good as it looks. And with a two-position back spacer that shifts to reveal an optional lanyard hole, this workhorse of an EDC is as elegant as it is durable.
