CRKT Du Hoc Deadbolt Assisted Karambit Knife Black 3.62in Hawkbill Blade CR2635

The CRKT Du Hoc Deadbolt Assisted Karambit Knife stands as a testament to durability, precision, and innovative design. Crafted by combat veteran and knife maker Austin McGlaun as part of CRKT’s Forged by War program, this knife blends battlefield-inspired functionality with modern engineering. Named in honor of Pointe du Hoc, the site of his uncle’s D-Day heroics, the Du Hoc is designed for demanding tasks, offering the reliability you need when it matters most.

The 3.62” hawkbill blade is made from high-performance D2 tool steel, known for its toughness and edge retention. Finished with a black epoxy powder coat, the blade resists wear and corrosion, ensuring lasting durability in harsh conditions. The Deadbolt lock mechanism reinforces the knife’s strength, providing a rock-solid hold during use. Combined with the IKBS ball bearing pivot system, this knife delivers fast, smooth deployment using either the flipper tab or dual thumb studs. The assisted opening system ensures quick access when speed is critical.

Built with ergonomics and grip security in mind, the black G10 handle features a thumb ring, offering superior control and versatility in various grip positions. The knife is equipped with a black-coated tip-up ambidextrous pocket clip for discreet carry and accessibility. Weighing 8.4 ounces and measuring 6.5” closed, the Du Hoc achieves a perfect balance between portability and robust construction.

Designed to honor veterans and support their causes, this knife represents more than its functionality. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to Idaho Backcountry Veterans, Austin McGlaun’s chosen charity. CRKT’s Forged by War program allows military veterans to apply their firsthand knowledge to create mission-ready tools, combining real-world experience with cutting-edge craftsmanship. This partnership not only produces exceptional products but also contributes to veteran-focused charities across the country.

The CRKT Du Hoc Deadbolt isn’t just a folding knife—it’s a tribute to strength, sacrifice, and utility, making it an ideal companion for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
