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.

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.

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.

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.

M16®-04KS Black Folding Knife with Frame Lock M16-04KS

There's nothing like the real thing. The original K.I.S.S.®, with its Tanto-inspired blade and bead-blast finish, is the revolutionary high-tech statement by Knifemakers' Guild member and K.I.S.S.® designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan. It stands for "Keep It Super Simple." The Original K.I.S.S.® blade shape is Tanto-inspired—Chisel-Point grind on the front and flat on the backside—so that when the blade is closed onto its handle/frame, the precision fit effectively "seals" the cutting edge to the frame, even though it's exposed. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds are available. Both blade and frame are 3CR13 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.

An ancient high-seas design built for the backwoods. Over a thousand years ago a Norse weaponry designer created the Viking axe. That form has remained recognizable and largely unchanged ever since. For good reason. The Freya™ /fray-uh/ Viking-style utility axe is a powerful everyday axe that touches on ancient design roots and thrives in the outdoors. Elmer Roush's charity of choice for this axe is the <a href="https://greenberetfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Beret Foundation</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. In addition to receiving commission on their designs, a portion of the profits are donated to the Veterans’ charity of choice. CRKT is proud to offer this dedicated collection to support the participating charities on a national level.

Freya™ Black Axe 2749

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™ Black Tomahawk 2730KS

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.
