Old West character meets modern utility, now in black. 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, this blacked out version features a black stainless steel bolster that seamlessly blends with the G10 handle scales and black hardware. The MagnaCut blade wears a black Cerakote finish for incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is sharp on a single edge and disappears entirely into the handle when closed, perfect for slipping into your boot before heading out to the frontier.

 Redemption® Compact Gray Folding Knife with Crossbar Lock K550KXP

A clean design worth queuing up for. Award-winning designer Richard Rogers’ Q Compact is proof that simple doesn’t have to be boring. Like the larger custom Q folding knife it was modeled after, the Q Compact features clean lines, a low-profile flipper, and a floating backspacer that adds a subtle splash of detail. 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.

Q Compact Black Folding Knife with Liner Lock 7077CF

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.

The strong and silent type.Titanium, carbon fiber, and incredibly capable MagnaCut steel come together in Richard Rogers’ limited edition Q, a folding knife that exudes confidence without showing off. Made in Italy and based on his custom knife of the same name, the Q displays Richard’s penchant for simplicity and clean form. With the blade deployed, the lines can be traced from point to pocket clip, and the low-profile flipper is easy to manipulate without impeding the knife’s elegant visual flow. The floating backspacer adds a splash of detail and hints at the knife’s premium nature, but otherwise the Q remains perfectly understated.

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.

Looking toward the future—with a nod to the past. Ed Van Hoy’s Snap Lock™ garnered global attention at the 2004 Blade Show, where it was crowned the Most Innovative Knife. Two decades in, the unique cam action and 180° swing of the blade still makes the Snap Lock™ as popular as ever. An all-black colorway and gold accents bring an attractive touch of modern style to the vintage-inspired folding knife. To open, simply press the front cam lever mechanism down with your thumb and rotate the blade outward until it fully extends and securely clicks into place. To close the knife, press down on the cam lever to disengage then swing the blade back into the closed position. Once the blade is in the closed position, no part of the edge is exposed and the knife is secure to carry.

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.

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.
