CornCraft Redshift
73 grams. That’s about the weight of a medium-sized keychain. And that’s exactly how discreetly the CornCraft Redshift disappears into your pocket — until you actually need it.
The Redshift is a compact titanium framelock folder designed by David Korn under his German label CornCraft Knives. It’s the logical next step after the Neutron Star: same premium materials, even more compact dimensions. With an overall length of 16.9 cm and a 7.9 cm blade, the Redshift is clearly built for urban EDC — especially for those who prefer a more compact carry.
The blade is made from powder metallurgy CPM S35VN, hardened to around 60 HRC. A steel developed specifically for high-end knives: excellent wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness at the same time. Not the kind of steel that stains after a little moisture or feels dull after two weeks of pocket carry. The finely executed flat grind gives the blade excellent cutting performance, especially considering its slim 2.5 mm blade stock.
The handle scales are machined from aerospace-grade titanium — lightweight, rigid, and extremely durable. Internally, they feature a milled honeycomb structure that removes material without sacrificing strength. The result: a total weight of only 73 g, while still feeling solid and premium in hand. The titanium framelock keeps the blade securely locked without play.
From the factory, the Redshift runs on ceramic ball bearings in a brass cage. The action is smooth, crisp, and genuinely satisfying. Prefer a more traditional setup? A set of phosphor bronze washers is included and can be swapped in directly. CornCraft also includes spare screws and an extra stop pin — thoughtful details that show real attention to the complete package.
The deep-carry pocket clip follows the same philosophy. It’s milled directly into the titanium and secured with countersunk screws. No protruding wire clip, no shredded pocket seams — just proper deep carry that lets the knife disappear into your pocket.
You also get to choose between two opening styles: nail nick or thumb stud. The nail nick version opens traditionally through the machined groove in the blade and remains 42a compliant in Germany. The thumb stud version offers faster, more direct deployment — ideal for those using the Redshift as a straightforward everyday carry tool.
For the handle finish, you can choose between Plain and Mining Pattern. The Plain version keeps things clean, smooth, and minimalist. The Mining Pattern adds a milled industrial-style texture for extra grip, more visual depth, and a little more personality.
The CornCraft Redshift comes delivered in a padded carry pouch including a microfiber cloth, spare hardware, extra bearings, and stop pin. Not just a knife with a few extras tossed in — but a fully thought-out carry kit.

Warning / Safety Notice:
Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
