Knife engineered by Kit Carson, inspired by the renowned M16 series. Outfitted with handle scales crafted from Zytel®—a glass fiber-reinforced nylon known for its exceptional durability and resistance to damage.

The knife features a construction that incorporates Teflon washers, allowing for effortless, fluid blade deployment. The blade pivot screw can be adjusted to fine-tune the opening tension.

Blade sports a spear point profile, forged from 8Cr15MoV stainless steel and hardened to 58-59 HRC. A black coating covers the entire blade, providing anti-corrosive and anti-reflective protection.

Equipped with a flipper for quick, single-handed opening, it also adds a layer of safety by preventing the hand from sliding onto the cutting edge. Once deployed, the blade is secured with a dual-action, automatic liner lock system, complemented by AutoLAWKS for enhanced locking security.

A spring clip mounted on the handle enables secure, everyday carry—ideal for attaching the knife to a belt or the edge of a pocket.

CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool) is an American brand of knives and tools, founded in 1994 by Paul Gillespie and Rod Bremer, former employees of Kershaw Knives. It gained worldwide fame with its K.I.S.S. model, presented at the SHOT Show in 1997 - it sold out instantly and tripled the company's production capacity. CRKT has earned a reputation as a brand that focuses on innovation, as evidenced by its proprietary Deadbolt, Field Strip, and Kinematic systems, as well as its patented Veff-Serrations. The company is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers such as Kit Carson, Ken Onion, and Liong Mah, resulting in knives with unique character and functionality. Among the most recognizable models are the M16, Minimalist, and Pilar, which have become icons in the world of EDC and tactical knives. Since its inception, CRKT has consistently promoted the motto “Confidence in Hand,” emphasizing that their knives are designed to provide the user not only with a tool, but above all with confidence in any situation.

    Very nice knife, it arrived so sharp it could shave hair. Good lock and nice design. The only downside for me is that it's a bit too small. In the end, I gave it to my wife for her handbag. My wife likes it, but for me a bigger CRKT is better :) But the product is top for a good price.

    For me, it's a great knife, very compact dimensions - ideal for urban EDC, and it has a military character. I used to have this model, back when it had Aus 4, but I lost it somewhere. This version is even better - perfect build quality (like the old releases), runs even faster on bearings (although its predecessor with Teflon washers wasn’t lacking in that regard either), and the steel is much better at holding sharpness and cutting aggression. In my opinion, the color variant is fantastic. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

    A classic from this company. The knife is sturdy, mechanically flawless. Materials are of good quality. A great suggestion as an everyday knife with a military tactical vibe. I recommend it.

    Great quality craftsmanship, it is durable and lightweight, and due to the proper profile it has good penetrating properties. Factory sharpness is very good.

    I just picked it up and it's better than I imagined. Light, pretty, and sharp as a razor :) RECOMMEND

    Great knife, a bit expensive, but solidly made. Sometimes you need to tighten the main screw, but you can do it with your finger in two seconds.

    Very compact and perfect for everyday use. This is already my next CRKT knife and I don't regret it. And to Piotr, if you buy something and don't touch it, then you regret it later. And if you tried it, where does all the complaining come from? I recommend the knife, and I advise not to listen to weak comments not backed by any money...

    The only thing that surprised me was the size of this knife (it's really small and perfect for everyday use). As for the craftsmanship, fitting, and sharpness, I have no complaints. So far, I am very satisfied, a really well-made piece.

    This knife is a failure. Right out of the box there is play in the liner. The quality of workmanship leaves a lot to be desired and this tragic AUS4 steel, that is 420.
