Awesome Crkt

CRKT’s keychain Knife Maintenance Tool packs in a ceramic honing edge and tungsten carbide sharpener, so you can sharpen your pocket knives on the go. It also packs folding T8 and T6 Torx heads, a flathead screwdriver and a bottle opener.

Inspired by the phoenix from the Harry Potter universe, this small-batch knife is made using scrapped materials from knife designer Alan Folts. Its D2 steel blade has excellent edge retention, and its orange and brown G10 handle offers a great grip. It has a smooth ball-bearing pivot and an easy-to-close liner lock mechanism.

Columbia River Knife and Tool, aka CRKT makes some of the best EDC knives and pocket tools out there. Our friends at Everyday Carry take a look at three new knives which dropped for Fall 2021 with three very different styles and features. We really dig the folding karambit style of the Provoke Compact.

It was off the market for a while, but Ed Van Hoy’s awesome pocket knife is back. The stainless steel knife features a slick open frame design. When released, the blade flips out sideways, then locks into position. Available with a smooth or serrated blade.

Designed by Lucas Burnley for CRKT, this compact but substantial knife belongs in your pocket. It features a G10 handle with carbon fiber inlays and an 8Cr14MoV steel wharncliffe blade with a stonewash finish. Its thumb slot makes for easy opening, while a thick lock bar ensures a secure blade position when in use.

Designed by Special Forces Green Beret Jeremy Valdez for CRKT, this pocket tool combines a knife with screwdrivers, a bottle opener, an adjustable wrench, and a glass breaker. Its liner lock blade can be opened and closed with one hand, and features a Veff serration which makes quick work of cutting ropes and straps.

CRKT’s palm-sized multitool hangs from a carabiner clip and packs two 1/4″ drivers – one in its tip, and one on its side. It stores four bits in its handle, and has an oxygen bottle valve wrench, an LED light, and a removable bottle opener. Available with hex or torx bit sets.

Limited to just 500 pieces, this unique flipper knife was designed by Dew Hara. It features a modern, skeletonized handle made from two-tone 6Al4V titanium, along with an open frame 3.39″ blade honed from Böhler M390 steel, and a smooth-action ball-bearing pivot. Made in Maniago, Italy for CRKT by lionSTEEL.

If Stormtroopers carried knives, they’d use designer Joe Caswell’s very special karambit, which features an Imperial White Cerakote coating with black details. We dig its unique folding mechanism, which deploys with the push of your thumb. Its handle is made from anodized aluminum, and its blade measures 2.41″ long.

Instead of the separate heads of its wooden brethren, these tomahawks have carbon steel all the way through their handles, and glass-filled nylon grips. The Chogan has three cutting edges and a hammer back, while the Kangee is sharp on every edge and has a spiked back.

A dull blade is a dangerous blade. Keep your knife sharp and ready whenever and wherever you go with Columbia River Knife and Tool’s keychain sharpener. It also packs a seatbelt strap cutter and a bottle opener as a bonus.

Tennessee Forged starts out with CRKT Woods tomahawks, then dresses them up with a new handle treatment, copper rivets, a leather neck guard, custom filework on the head, and a rust preventive oxide coating. Choose from axe/spike, axe/hammer, or axe only variants.

A versatile knife housed in a durable, bead-blasted titanium frame. Its spear-point 3.5″ stainless steel combo blade has both razor and serrated edges, and offers dual thumb studs for ambidextrous opening.

A serious axe for serious outdoorsmen, the Chogan T-Hawk has a drop-forged 1055 carbon steel tomahawk head, set atop a Tennessee hickory handle. Great for chopping and throwing. Its brother, the Kangee T-Hawk has a spike instead of a hammer.

Just the concept of a portable screwdriver wrench opener multi-tool that’s also a spork has us grinning from ear-to-ear. And now, you can actually buy one, thanks to the guys at CRKT.

Allen Elishewitz’s Tao Tactical Pen not only boasts a pointed butt and impact crown for self-defense, but a Space Pen cartridge that writes whether cold, hot, underwater, or upside down.

Firefighter James McGowan’s M.A.K.-1 (Multiple Access Knife) is a rescue multi-tool; it features a pry-bar tip, knife edge, twist breaker groove, carbide tip butt breaker, and 8mm groove.

CRKT’s I.D. Works Flux is a modular multi-tool system that lets you carry only the tools you need; a spring-loaded carabiner lets you add/remove everything from flash drives to flashlights.
