SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Orca is a compact, performance-driven folding knife designed for those who need a reliable blade in a small, easy-to-carry package. With its sleek design and durable materials, this knife is perfect for everyday carry, offering a high level of functionality and convenience while maintaining a minimalist profile.
At the heart of the Orca is its 1.79-inch drop point blade made from D2 tool steel. D2 is known for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for a wide range of tasks. The drop point blade design provides a versatile cutting edge, perfect for slicing, piercing, and general utility. The satin finish not only adds a touch of elegance to the blade but also enhances its durability by resisting wear and corrosion. Thumb jimping along the spine of the blade ensures a secure grip, providing added control for precise cuts, whether you’re working on detailed tasks or everyday activities.
One of the standout features of the CRKT Orca is its spring-assisted opening mechanism. With a simple press of the blade flipper, the spring-assisted system instantly opens the blade, allowing for quick and efficient deployment. The IKBS ball-bearing pivot ensures the blade opens smoothly with minimal resistance, delivering a satisfying action each time you deploy it. Whether you're using it for quick cuts or when precision is needed, the Orca offers reliable and effortless performance every time.
Once the blade is fully deployed, the linerlock mechanism secures it in place, ensuring the blade stays firmly open during use. This locking mechanism is known for its strength and ease of use, providing peace of mind as you work through various tasks. The Orca’s compact size and secure lock make it a dependable tool that’s ready whenever you need it.
The handle of the Orca is crafted from black glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), offering a lightweight and durable construction. This handle material provides a solid grip, even in wet conditions, ensuring the knife stays secure in your hand. At just 2.97 inches closed and weighing 2.6 ounces, the Orca is small and lightweight enough to slip into your pocket, bag, or gear, making it an ideal option for everyday carry. The tip-up pocket clip ensures you can keep the knife accessible and secure, while the lanyard hole offers additional carry options, allowing you to customize how you take this knife with you.
Measuring 4.66 inches overall and with a .09-inch blade thickness, the Orca strikes an ideal balance between portability and functionality. It’s the perfect size for quick, precise cuts while still being compact enough for easy carry and discreet storage.
The CRKT Orca is more than just a knife—it’s a reliable, efficient, and stylish tool that’s ready for whatever your day brings. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting cords, or performing any number of everyday tasks, the Orca handles it all with ease.
