The OC3 is a large, double-edged fixed blade with a blade of 6.072 inches. The Obake Skoshi has a blade length of 2.4 inches and a paracord-wrapped handle. The beloved Obake gets another iteration that’s more compact. The blade is 3.193 inches with some jimping on the spine. The Mossback Hunter is similar to the Mossback Bird and Trout, but it has a larger and heftier blade for bigger game. The 2.851-inch blade is made of SK5 steel and the handle is made of G-10. Mossback Bird and Troutĭesigned by Tom Krein, the Mossback Bird and Trout is a fixed blade hunter that’s optimized for-you guessed it-birds and fish. It’s as good-looking and functional as ever.

All the knives come with AUS8 stainless steel blades 6061 Aluminum handles. What better way for CRKT to honor the man than by reissuing his original design. In Fall of 2014, the knife world lost legendary knifemaker Kit Carson. This is designed by Joe Carter, who spent time learning knifemaking from his father Joe Pardue and his grandfather Mel Pardue. The blade is just over 2 inches long and features a stonewashed finish. The Jettison has a unique blade shape-a modified Wharncliffe if you will. This is the same as the Fulcrum 2, except it comes in a smaller package with a 2.77-inch blade. What makes the Fulcrum 2 so unique is the opening mechanism, which requires you to use your thumb. This is a sexy folder with a fat handle and a 3.18-inch blade finished with gray titanium nitride. The Fulcrum 2 is an update on the discontinued Fulcrum 1 from Russ Kommer. The Drifter is far from new, but it gets an alternate version with a stainless steel handle. I haven’t been able to confirm the origins of the name, but I bet the name comes from this iconic scene in Jurassic Park: The G-10 handle scales are comfortable and thoroughly grippy. The Clever Girl is a tactical fixed blade 4.6-inch upswept blade that’s coated in black powder. The Civet Bowie comes with a clip point, but this version comes with a drop point. Glass-reinforced nylon handle scales offer a nice grip and the accompanied sheath means you can carry the Civet as a neck knife. The Civet is a Flavio Ikoma design with 2.4-inch fixed blade made of 8Cr13MoV steel. This also uses a cutout in the blade for ambidextrous opening. The similarly curved handle is made of stainless steel. The curvaceous 3.75-inch blade is made from 8Cr13Mov steel. The subtle but noticeable curve of the Buku is reminiscent of a kukri machete. The Buku is another interesting design from Lucas Burnley (also the designer of the CRKT Achi). It has a 2.23-inch serrated blade and the whole thing is made of 8Cr13MoV steel. The Hyphenate is basically a fixed-blade version of the Niad. The handle is titanium and has a circular cutout to attach to your gear. The Niad is a lightweight and compact folder with a blade that’s a mere 1.56 inches long. This is a multitool with features like screwdrivers, a knife, spring-assisted pliers, and more. We wrote about these three before, so we won’t go into too much detail. The Bivy, Niad, and Hyphenate are a trio of knives and tools designed specifically for climbers. The axehead is made of 1055 carbon steel and the handle is hickory. The Birler is a fairly lightweight tactical axe with an overall length of 16 inches. The handle looks like stonewashed stainless steel. The blade has a cutout for ambidextrous opening and a frame lock to keep it securely open. With an 8Cr13Mov steel blade that’s 3.4 inches long, the Amicus is meant to excel in the great outdoors. The Amicus is a folder designed by Jesper Voxnaes.
