SHOP CASE KNIVESBorn from a legacy of courage and forged for those who demand absolute reliability, the CRKT Du Hoc Karambit Knife is more than a tactical tool—it’s a tribute to heroism. Inspired by the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc and the soldiers who scaled them on D-Day, this fixed blade carries the weight of history in every curve. Designed by U.S. Army veteran Austin McGlaun as an homage to his uncle, a Silver Star recipient from that fateful battle, the Du Hoc embodies the strength, precision, and determination of those who refuse to quit. As part of CRKT’s Forged By War program, it stands as both a high-performance weapon and a living monument to bravery.
Measuring 9.63 inches in overall length and weighing 9.3 ounces, the Du Hoc is a formidable presence in hand. Its 5.10-inch recurved hawkbill blade is crafted from SK-5 high carbon steel, chosen for its exceptional toughness and cutting power. A black powder coating guards against corrosion and reflection, maintaining both durability and discretion in the field. The full-tang design flows seamlessly into contoured black G10 handle scales, offering an unshakable grip even in the harshest environments. The signature karambit ring at the pommel enhances retention, enabling fluid transitions and rapid deployment when seconds matter most.
Every detail of the Du Hoc speaks to purpose. For military and law enforcement professionals, it serves as a reliable secondary weapon and field companion built to withstand punishing use. Tactical enthusiasts will find it equally appealing—a striking fusion of function, heritage, and design excellence that commands respect in any loadout. For those who value preparedness, the Du Hoc’s intuitive karambit shape and ergonomic control make it a formidable choice for self-defense and personal security.
Each CRKT Du Hoc comes with a glass-reinforced nylon sheath engineered for versatile mounting options, ensuring your blade is always within reach. Owning this knife means more than carrying premium steel—it means supporting a veteran designer and contributing to causes that honor those who’ve served.
