The knife pen
Who hasn't experienced this: you're sitting in your office, your colleague is writing something down on a piece of paper and asks you if you could hand her the highlighter. "Nothing easier than that" you think to yourself, reach into the drawer and hand her the desired pen. At first you don't know what to make of the look of astonishment on her face, but then you realize that you've once again mistaken the highlighter for your new CRKT Scribe. Crap!
You may have already done this or something similar - after all, the Scribe is almost indistinguishable from a highlighter at first glance. Ultra lightweight, flat and not a bit reminiscent of a stationary knife, the Scribe blends seamlessly into any office - but is still a useful little everyday tool. To extend the plastic handle, you can slip the small cap onto the lanyard loop for a little more hand room. You wouldn't want to cut a watermelon with the short blade - but for most everyday tasks, the edge will do just fine. The 5cr15MoV steel used is very good-natured and resistant to rust. If you want to carry the knife in your pocket, you can clip it to the hem of your jeans thanks to the tight pocket clip.
Oh yeah, did you know that behind the design of the CRKT Scribe is none other than T.J. Schwarz? You may know T.J. because he is responsible for the design of Bill Koenig's Arius folder.
CRKT Minimalist Cleaver
Alan Folts Design
G10 handle scales

The mini cleaver
Neck knives are more popular than ever. No wonder - after all, these little companions are not only incredibly useful but also easy to carry. Whether on a belt, in the pocket of your pants or - very classically - with a cord around the neck, its of course a matter of personal taste.
With the Minimalist Cleaver, designed by Alan Folts, CRKT are now launching a somewhat unusual Neck Knife, whose blade shape is clearly inspired by a classic kitchen cleaver. The 3mm thick and sturdy blade has a completely straight edge, which is commen for this blade style and can be easily sharpened again thanks to the 5Cr15MoV steel. The hole at the top is also typical for the kitchen utensils where this knife took its inspiration from.
The handle, on the other hand, has been shaped to create three generous grooves in which the fingers can immediately find their place. The black G10 of the handle scales nestles well into the hand and allows the Minimalist Cleaver to be handles with ease. The hand-adjusted GRP sheath can be worn around the neck with a cord or attached vertically to the belt with a clip.
If you are looking for an inexpensive but absolutely efficient mini fixed blade, you should definitely take a look at the Minimalist Cleaver.
CRKT Pilar III D2
Full grown EDC knife with pocket clip
Jesper Voxnaes Design
G10 handle and D2 blade
For bigger hands
Most pocket knife fans know the problem: you really like a design, but it is simply too small for your hands. CRKT have already addressed this problem once with their extremely popular Pilar by Jesper Voxnaes and brought a slightly larger version to market with the Pilar(ge) II. Now they've followed up with the Pilar III, an even larger version of the successful model.
What you might notice right away is that the manufacturer didn't just scale up an existing design here, which often just doesn't quite work. Instead, the entire shape of the knife has been adapted to the new size, so that in the end a good 18cm long, full-grown work knife has been created. The handeling is now really good even for users with large hands and allows comfortable work. The stainless steel Framelock locks the Pilar III bombproof and can be operated effortlessly with one hand. The knife is also opened one-handed via the milled thumb hole in the blade. The long forward false edge on the back of the blade gives the Pilar III a more agressive appearance and thus deviates a bit from the look of the original model. For the steel, CRKT have chosen the tried and tested D2 tool steel for this variant. D2 is not only a very cutting alloy but also very tough and thus very well positioned against transverse loads (for example, when carving). To prevent the blade from rusting, we recommend that you clean your Pilar III with a little oil from time to time.
The handle is still provided with a grippy G10 showside, which you can not only clean very easily, but which is also very insensitive to heat or other external influences. If you like to carry your knives with a lanyard, you can thread it through the hole in the back of the protruding backspacer. Another cool feature is the deep-carry clip: this allows you to carry the Pilar III discreetly in your pocket despite its full-size without the knife immediately catching the eye of those around you.
CRKT CEO Flipper
Compact EDC knife with pocket clip
Richard Rogers-Design
FRN handle and AUS8 blade
Chef Flipper
This design by Richard Rodgers from New Mexico/ USA is one of the best office EDC knives we have ever seen. Due to the low weight and the extremely slim design you can carry this compact cutting tool not only in your pocket but also comfortably in your jacket or even in the breast pocket of a shirt. The clip makes it look more like a pen than a knife - so it doesn't get much more discreet than that. With this new variant of the CEO, you open the knife via a flipper, which guarantees fun (and annoyed colleagues) in the office.
For the handle CRKT use the proven FRN material, which has proven itself over decades as a robust but lightweight handle material. The linerlock locks the knife securely when open and can be conveniently unlocked with one hand. By the way, the slim design of the handle makes this knife very easy to handle even for smaller hands. For the blade steel, CRKT relies on the time-honored AUS8 steel for this version, which is very resistant to rust and can be resharpened very well.
The Deep-Carry-Clip (here Tip-Up/ convertible right or left) lets the CEO discreetly disappear in your pocket and ensures a discreet appearance. You can have this knife with you in almost any setting.
The Designer
Richard Rodgers is truly no stranger to the knife scene. The man from New Mexico/USA has been making knives since 1996 and has won over 50 awards for his work in his 20-year career. His focus is primarily on compact EDC knives and accessories, all of which are manufactured in his own workshop. Since Rodgers' order books are almost always full and his knives are not exactly inexpensive, it is all the more gratifying to now be able to obtain a series version of one of his original designs through CRKT.

CRKT Sketch Steel
Compact EDC knife with pocket clip
Lucas Burnley-Design
Stainless steel handle and 8CR14MoV blade
Craftsman Knife
The CRKT Sketch is without question a real working knife. Inexpensive, very robust and insensitive. Nevertheless, the green elements like the pivot collar as well as the backspacer in matching color provide some optical highlights. In addition, there is a really hot design from the pen of none other than Lucas Burnley.
For the best possible price/performance ratio in combination with a very stable construction, CRKT chose a stainless steel Framelock construction for the Sketch. The non-convertible deep-carry clip lets the knife disappear discreetly into the pocket - no matter if jeans or work trousers.
Thanks to the alloy, the blade made of 18Cr14MoV is extremely rust resistant and at the same time easy to re-sharpen. The knife is opened via an elongated thumb hole, which ensures effortless, one-handed operation of the CRKT Sketch.
If you are looking for an inexpensive working knife that still has a unique look, the Sketch is the right choice.

CRKT - Pilar
A small EDC wonderSometimes it doesn't take much to make a really good knife.With the Pilar, CRKT have created a design by Danish knife guru Jesper Voxnaes, which is really fistful behind the ears. Voxnaes is considered - quite rightly - one of the most important knifemakers in Europe and his designs for companies like CRKT, Viper or Spyderco have caused quite a stir in the past.
If you are looking for a good, compact and above all inexpensive knife for everyday use, the Pilar could be just the thing for you.
The matte stainless steel handle fits comfortably in the hand and - thanks to the finger recess placed at the base of the blade - allows for pleasant and precise handling of the knife. At the same time, the finger guard also serves as a so-called "Flipper Tap", with which the Pilar can be opened with one hand. The frame lock closes securely and can be easily unlocked again with one hand.
The slightly modified Sheepfoot blade was provided with a hollow grind, which ensures that the Pilar cuts really well despite its robust blade thickness of 3.6mm.
When it comes to the choice of material, CRKT have opted for the tried and tested 8Cr13MoV steel, which ensures a very high resistance to rust and can be re-sharpened with simple means.
The best thing about the CRKT Pilar, in our opinion, is the price. What you get here for little money is really incredible. The great design by Jesper Voxnaes, the one-sided convertible pocket clip and the good build quality make the Pilar a real "bang for the buck".
