We create innovative, top quality knives and tools by working with the world’s leading knife designers.

Rancher 1 1450x1450

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 Tanto

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. Featuring a black EDP blade finish built for corrosion resistance, a frame lock for safety, the Carson Flipper deployment system, and Triple Point™ Serrations; it’s almost more than you need. Almost.

M16®-10KSF Tanto

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.

Ritual™ Assisted

The Special Forces G10 models share a unique design offering a combination of Carson M16 Series features requested by military procurement specialists. The dual grind Tanto blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt— very rare in folding knives.

M16®-14SF Tanto

We have produced Kit Carson's popular M16® line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values. Our new M16 ZLEK line uses our very successful InterFrame construction, with tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame and solid glass filled nylon back spacers. We assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners.

M16®-14ZLEK Tanto

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

Stripped down to the bare necessities. Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the simplest. The Razel™ Chisel is a fixed blade for your pocket that takes a no-frills approach to Jon Graham’s iconic original design. Made of high-carbon steel and using a chisel grind that’s sharpened on a single side, the blade is incredibly easy to resharpen. The bare metal handle keeps weight to a minimum while the included cord fob extends the grip for better control.

As clever as it looks. During his time stationed at Fort Polk while serving in the military, knifemaker Austin McGlaun was inspired to find new ways to tackle laborious camp chores. And so the Clever Girl™ Kukri was realized. A fixed blade design that honors the iconic kukri knife, this reimagined version still brandishes a mighty swing despite being more compact than its predecessor. As a member of the CRKT® Forged by War® program, the Kukri is tough enough to stand the test of the battlefield—and whatever else Mother Nature might throw your way.

Clever Girl™ Deadbolt®

Serves and protects while you’re doing the same. The Shrill™ tactical boot knife knows its place on a mission: keeping you and others safe. It’s no wonder this fixed blade has the name it does. With a dual-edged design it seems to pierce anything in sight.
