Redemption

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 removable 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.

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.

Old West character meets modern utility. The Redemption® 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® brings this classic folder into the modern age and is Ken’s first CRKT knife to incorporate a Crossbar Lock. Made in the U.S.A. in collaboration with Hogue Knives, it uses CPM MagnaCut blade steel for incredible strength and edge retention.

A legend worth whispering about. Certain knives are the stuff of legends—something every collector hears about but few ever see. The Walker Blade Lock is one such knife, as mythical as the chupacabra or the shape-shifters of Navajo lore. While custom knifemaker and inventor Michael Walker is a legend in his own right, his trailblazing Blade Lock folding knife has been re-released with modern materials that still retain the classic looks of Walker’s original. The Walker Blade Lock is a positive lock system that keeps the blade locked in the open and closed positions. The mechanism operates with a spring-loaded tab behind the thumbstud on the blade. To open or close the knife, depress the thumbstud while pushing forward or back to rotate the blade in place. With a sheepsfoot blade crafted from 14C28N steel and a stainless handle overlaid with durable G10, the Walker Blade Lock is one legend worth whispering about.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paired with a micarta handle, it is strong, comfortable, and looks incredible in a new all-black finish.
