CRKT Buying Guide by size and use

Small CRKT pocket knives are perfect for those who prefer a compact pocket knife. These knives have a blade length of just below 7 cm. Large enough for daily tasks like opening boxes. Don't underestimate these knives. These knives are also great as a back-up pocket knife. To accompany a larger pocket knife.

Medium-sized CRKT pocket knives have a blade length of approx. 8 cm. Large enough for the occasional demanding task, small enough to compactly keep close. A large blade comes with a larger handle. As such you will have enough grip over these knives. These CRKT knives are perfect for those looking for a versatile pocket knife.

There are also a lot of large CRKT knives. If the two above mentioned sizes do not adhere to your demands, a large CRKT knife will be the best choice. These knives have a blade length of 9 cm and over. Here you will find the most robust CRKT pocket knives for heavy-duty use.

CRKT produces popular budget knives. Take, for instance, the famous CRKT Squid and Pilar. These knives are an amazing bang for your buck. A great way to start your knife collection or if you are looking for a worker's knife. To make sure your expensive pocket knives stay in great shape.

Choose a CRKT pocket knife with D2 steel if you are planning to use it for the more demanding tasks. D2 steel is a robust, reliable type of steel that can handle its own. A lot better than most types of steel that CRKT often uses. Do, however, be careful around acids and moisture: D2 is not completely stainless.

These CRKT knives are enhanced with the, by Ken Onion patented, Field Strip Technology mechanism. With it you can take your knife apart in only seconds to clean it! Without using tools. Perfect when you work in surroundings where dirt is a problem. Think of soldiers, mechanics and hunters.

CRKT is an innovative brand. The Deadbolt lock is a great example. One of the strongest locking mechanisms on the market today. The most important part of the Deadbolt lock is the hardened steel wedge that falls into the cut-outs in the blade. Using it is easy: you simply press the large pivot to close the blade.
