The CRKT Curfew is an everyday carry knife that blends classic style with modern performance, designed to impress in the pocket and perform in the hand. Designed by Russ Kommer for Columbia River Knife & Tool, the Curfew delivers a refined look with a fast, functional edge—perfect for those who appreciate a knife that’s as stylish as it is capable.
Built around a 3.1-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr13Mov stainless steel, the Curfew provides the sharpness and reliability needed for everyday use. The satin finish adds a sleek, clean look, while the blade’s geometry is optimized for versatility—great for slicing, piercing, and detailed work alike. With a thickness of just 0.11 inches, it strikes a great balance between strength and slicing precision.
This folder’s spring-assisted flipper action is smooth and decisive. Thanks to CRKT’s IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the blade deploys quickly and cleanly with just a flick of the finger. The linerlock keeps the blade secure once opened, offering peace of mind whether you’re breaking down boxes, trimming cord, or just opening a package. It’s fast, intuitive, and satisfying to use—everything you’d want in a dependable everyday carry.
The handle is where the Curfew truly sets itself apart. Featuring a striking combination of ivory Micarta scales and a black aluminum bolster, the handle delivers both style and substance. The Micarta offers a warm, tactile feel that improves grip over time, while the aluminum bolster adds strength and visual contrast. The ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand and feels solid without being bulky, making it easy to carry and comfortable to use throughout the day.
At 4.23 inches closed and 7.31 inches overall, the Curfew hits the sweet spot for daily carry. It’s compact enough to fit neatly in your pocket, yet large enough to handle real tasks when called upon. Weighing just 3.3 ounces, it won’t weigh you down, and the tip-up pocket clip ensures it’s always right where you need it.
CRKT has built its name on innovation and collaboration, and the Curfew is a prime example of that tradition. With Russ Kommer’s thoughtful design, premium materials, and a clean, modern profile, this knife delivers far more than expected. It’s practical, pocketable, and a pleasure to use—day in and day out.
