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. This upgraded version is made in Italy and features MagnaCut blade steel in bead blast finish for an unbeatable combination of toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The lightweight handle is made of bead blast titanium with carbon fiber overlay. 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.

Old West character meets modern utility in a compact package. The Redemption® Compact is based on legendary knifemaker Ken Onion’s Deadman’s Hand custom, a tribute to the knives carried by the outlaws and poker players of the Wild West and named after the aces-and-eights hand Wild Bill Hickok purportedly held at the time of his death. The Redemption® Compact features a 3.28” spear point MagnaCut blade with a stonewash finish for exceptional edge retention and toughness. Like the full-size version, the Compact is made in the U.S.A. in collaboration with Hogue Knives, and features an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock and reversible pocket clip for secure carry.

The DLC coated S35VN blade provides excellent edge retention and toughness, while the marbled carbon fiber inlay on the lightweight aluminum handle walks the line between beauty and strength.

 Redemption® Compact Black Folding Knife with Crossbar Lock K550KKP

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.

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 black pearl camo carbon fiber handle is strong, lightweight, and built to comfortably fit anyone’s hand. A double-action automatic mechanism makes opening and closing fast and easy, and with two sharpened edges, the black coated 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.

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.
