Rancher 1 1450x1450

A new-fashioned twist on a classic carry. Available in a limited run, the A.P.C. (Always. Pocket. Carry.) is an updated take on the classic slip joint folding knife. Created by seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, the A.P.C. is crafted from premium materials—like M390 blade steel and a handsome Fat Carbon Dark Matter handle—with an improved slip joint design that prevents galling and reduces the overall weight of the knife. The traditional details, like the nail nick for easy opening, are complemented by its high tech features that make it lightweight, compact, and ready for action.

  A.P.C.  (Always. Pocket. Carry.)

A knife that’s dressed for success. At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket, that’s exactly the way the CEO folding knife was designed. A supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, this design embodies the working spirit of everyday carry.

Built for your toughest battles – with boxes. The M16® stainless steel series comes from a long line of military tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this everyday carry version of the legendary M16® knife.

Almost.

A classic comeback. The popular M16® design by the late Kit Carson makes a comeback with the stainless steel series. Packing even more power and functionality than before, the three versions offer a range of blade size and construction—so you can choose which one serves you best. Keeping all the fan-favorite features from Kit’s line of tactical folders, then reimagined as an everyday carry, the M16®-02SS adds even more strength and performance to the mix. Built with a tanto, high-quality 12C27 blade for excellent edge retention, it’s topped with a bead blast finish to reduce any unwanted glare or reflection. Hailing from a true classic, the stainless steel M16®-02SS is a whole other caliber of comeback.

Homage: Paid. The M16® is the most popular series that CRKT® has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered custom knife designer Kit Carson with this new frame-lock iteration of his legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.

Jumping out of the history book and into your pocket. Like an old-world Persian fixed blade, the Ritual™ tactical folding knife has a long, drastic blade curve and a substantial handle. But what makes it fit for a modern carry is the powerful Assisted Opening innovation that snaps open at lightning-fast speeds. It’s perfect for doing battle in ancient Persia and for making quick work of a package on your doorstep.

A noteworthy tool in history; a defining design in the CRKT story. The day Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical introduced us to his original design for the Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk in 2014 was a memorable one at our headquarters. Now, we’re releasing a CRKT.com exclusive replete with a black magnesium phosphate coating on the head for corrosion resistance, a durable leather sheath, and an aesthetically cool firewood-burned handle. The result: same badass tool. Entirely new look.

Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk

Leaves less meat in the field, puts more in your freezer.

Discovered in a private collection and brought to life. The late Kit Carson’s memory is felt strongly throughout the industry—it shows in the absolute reverence the knife world has for his M16® and M21™ designs. The M40® everyday carry folding knife is based on a legacy design. This version is reimagined with Deadbolt®, marrying classic design with contemporary innovation. Kit’s legacy just keeps growing.
