A 2.9-inch G10 flipper that has been in the line for years and has the review count to show for it — about as much knife as you can carry without noticing it.

Authorized Dealer
Thirty of the most popular CRKT knives
Bear Mountain Outfitters is an authorized CRKT dealer in historic downtown St. Augustine. CRKT mostly does not design its own knives — it licenses them from custom makers and puts them into production, so nearly every card below carries the name of the person who drew it. Eleven of these thirty are models CRKT currently badges as best sellers; the rest cover the range.
12 models
Manual Folders
Ordered by how many customer reviews CRKT has collected on each — eight of these twelve also carry CRKT's Best Seller badge. Almost every one is a licensed design; the maker's name is on the card.
M16-04KS
Frame lock · Kit Carson
Kit Carson's M16 is the family CRKT builds more versions of than any other. This is the big stainless-framed tanto: nearly four inches of blade and six ounces in the hand.

- Steel
- 12C27
- Weight
- 6.2 oz
Fossil
Frame lock · Flavio Ikoma
Ikoma's frame lock in stainless with a G10 overlay. The compact version shown here is the one that keeps selling.

CEO Flipper
Liner lock · Richard Rogers
A pen-thin office knife under two ounces. Rogers drew it to disappear in a shirt pocket, and it does.
- Blade
- 3.35″
- Steel
- AUS 8
- Weight
- 1.9 oz
Pilar
Frame lock · Jesper Voxnaes
Voxnaes' short, wide sheepsfoot on a steel frame — a lot of cutting edge packed into a very small closed length.

- 2.67″
- Steel
- 8Cr13MoV
- Weight
- 4.2 oz
K.I.S.S.
Frame lock · Ed Halligan

- 2.1 oz

- Steel
- MagnaCut
- Weight
- 4.9 oz
MinimalX
Frame lock · Darriel Caston

Tuna
Frame lock
A thick stonewashed blade on a G10-and-steel frame, drawn for work around salt water.

- 2.16″
- Steel
- 8Cr13MoV
- Weight
- 3.5 oz
Walker
Blade lock · Michael Walker
A blade lock rather than a liner or frame lock, from custom maker Michael Walker. New enough to the line that the reviews have not caught up.

- 2.93″
- Steel
- 14C28N
- Weight
- 4.1 oz
Hirin
Liner lock · Dew Hara
Acid-etched Damascus on a titanium frame, and the only knife on this page CRKT lists as made in Italy.

- Damascus

- Steel
- 14C28N

A satin-finished G10 folder in the middle of the size range — a first assisted knife that does not feel like a starter.
- Blade
- 3.48″
- Steel
- 8Cr13MoV
- Weight
- 3.6 oz
P.S.D.

- Blade
- 3.63″
- Steel
- 1.4116

- Steel
- 1.4116

- Steel
- D2
- Weight
- 5.0 oz
3 models
Kinematic, OTF & Balisong
Three that open unlike anything else in the case. The Provoke is CRKT's own Kinematic mechanism; the Gravitic Flip is a manual out-the-front with no spring in it at all.
Gravitic Flip
Manual OTF · Ted Valerio
Push the slide and the blade runs forward on its own inertia — no spring, no automatic. At 1.4 ounces it is the lightest knife on this page, and the most-reviewed.

- Steel
- 5Cr13MoV
- Weight
- 1.4 oz

- Steel
- MagnaCut

Provoke
Kinematic karambit
The blade folds around the outside of the handle rather than into it, and deploys by pushing the front of the frame forward. Nothing else in the shop works like it.
- Blade
- 2.41″
- Steel
- D2
- Weight
- 6.1 oz
9 models
Fixed Blades
From a 1.6-ounce neck knife to a sixteen-inch kukri. None of CRKT's Best Seller badges sit on a fixed blade — they are all on folders — so these are ordered by review count alone.
Minimalist Bowie
Fixed · Alan Folts
Folts' neck knife — five inches overall, 1.6 ounces, with a finger groove where a guard would be. CRKT builds the same handle under bowie, cleaver, wharncliffe, nessmuk and katana blades.

- Steel
- 5Cr15MoV
- Weight
- 1.6 oz

Hunt’N Fisch

A three-inch drop point on G10, sized for field dressing rather than for the belt it hangs from.

- Steel
- 1055 carbon

- 4.60″
- Steel
- SK-5
- Weight
- 6.3 oz
Kuk
Fixed · Ryan Johnson
A kukri with a 10.5-inch carbon steel blade, nearly sixteen inches overall. This one is for clearing, not for cutting.

Du Hoc
Fixed · Austin McGlaun
McGlaun again, with a five-inch tanto in SK-5. Nine ounces, and built around prying as much as slicing.
- Blade
- 5.10″
- Steel
- SK-5

CRKT runs a deep catalog and rotates colours, steels and blade shapes through most of these models. Call the shop and we will tell you what is in the case today — including the versions and the designers that are not on this page.
Specifications describe the exact version pictured; CRKT builds most of these models in several steels, finishes and handle colours that differ in weight and dimensions. How these thirty were chosen: CRKT marks certain products with a Best Seller badge, and a sweep of its folding and fixed-blade categories found eighteen badged products across eleven model families — all eleven are here. The remaining nineteen were chosen to cover CRKT's mechanisms, sizes and designers. Within each section the cards are ordered by the number of customer reviews CRKT publishes for that model, read on 28 August 2026; review counts move, and a high count reflects how long a knife has been on sale as much as how well it sells. This is not a ranking of what sells in this shop. No prices, stock levels or online ordering — this page is a reference, not a catalog. CRKT, Columbia River Knife & Tool, M16, Provoke, Kinematic, Deadbolt, Veff Serrations, Minimalist, Pilar, Squid, Razel and the other model names used here are trademarks of Columbia River Knife & Tool.
