CornCraft Knives – behind this brand is David Korn, a mechanical engineer from Hesse, Germany, and someone who never really left his childhood pocket knife behind. He's been building his own knives since 2014, designing folders since 2016 – and his philosophy has always been the same: knives that actually work in everyday EDC life, never get in the way, and do what they're supposed to do – cut. At Knife Lounge we carry the Neutron Star and the Redshift – both available in §42a-compliant versions. More about CornCraft Knives ↓
CornCraft Knives stands for high-quality EDC knives (Every Day Carry) built without compromise for everyday use. Every model is developed using modern engineering methods – including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a calculation method borrowed from mechanical engineering. The result: knives that don't just look great, but are mechanically refined and built to last.
The CornCraft Neutron Star is the flagship model and the most well-known knife in the lineup. Designed as an ultralight everyday companion, its thin-ground blade cuts effortlessly through virtually anything.
The Neutron Star Nail Groove version is particularly popular in Germany as it does not fall under the general carry ban pursuant to §42a of the German Weapons Act. The Neutron Star is now available in the updated Era-2 version, featuring numerous refinements for even better everyday performance.
Included in the box: a premium magnetic closure box, a Cordura pouch, a microfibre cloth, spare screws including the pivot screw, and a hand-filled certificate of authenticity.
The newest model, the CornCraft Redshift, is designed as an ultralight EDC folding knife – the perfect daily companion for those who want maximum performance at minimum weight. It combines a titanium framelock with the typical CornCraft DNA: thoughtful mechanics, interchangeable ball bearings and thick washers, and four variants – including §42a-compliant options with nail groove.
The Redshift continues the tradition of the Neutron Star: precise engineering, premium materials, and a modular construction that makes maintenance and personalisation straightforward.
The CornCraft Neutron Star is the flagship of the brand, celebrated in the knife community for its exceptional build quality and modular design.
Yes – both the Neutron Star (nail groove version) and the Redshift are available in §42a-compliant versions and are therefore legal to carry in Germany.
