CRKT Homefront Compact Folding Knife 2.91in Plain Stonewash Drop Point

The CRKT Homefront Compact Stonewash Black is a masterful blend of classic design and modern performance. Designed by the legendary Ken Onion, this everyday carry folding knife pays homage to the timeless look of World War II military knives while offering the precision and convenience of modern knife technology. Built to be as tough as it looks, the Homefront Compact is a dependable companion for daily carry and a striking tribute to classic craftsmanship.

At the heart of the Homefront Compact is its 2.91-inch drop point blade, crafted from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and all-around toughness, this blade is ready for any cutting task you throw its way. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, battle-worn look while also helping to conceal scratches from daily use. With a .09-inch blade thickness, it’s thin enough for precision cuts but strong enough to handle tougher tasks.

Opening the Homefront Compact is quick, smooth, and satisfying. The blade flipper allows for effortless, one-handed deployment, thanks to CRKT’s ultra-smooth pivot system. Whether you’re opening boxes, slicing rope, or tackling other daily tasks, the Homefront Compact is always ready. Once open, the blade is locked securely in place with a dependable linerlock, giving you peace of mind while you work.

The handle design is where Ken Onion’s inspiration truly shines. The 3.88-inch handle features a striking combination of a black G-10 scale paired with a black aluminum bolster, a nod to the materials and construction of classic military knives. The G-10 offers a textured, slip-resistant grip, while the aluminum bolster adds strength and a touch of timeless style. Together, they create a handle that feels secure and comfortable, no matter the task at hand.

For portability, the Homefront Compact is second to none. It weighs in at just 3 ounces and folds down to a compact 3.88 inches, making it easy to slip into your pocket or bag. The tip-up pocket clip allows for secure carry and quick access, while the lanyard hole provides an additional option for those who like to keep their knives tethered. Lightweight, durable, and easy to carry, it’s a knife you’ll forget you’re carrying — until you need it.

When fully opened, the Homefront Compact measures 6.81 inches, offering a balanced feel in the hand. Every detail of this knife reflects Ken Onion’s passion for craftsmanship and functionality. From its tribute to WWII-era knives to its modern materials and design, the Homefront Compact is a knife with character. It’s as much a nod to history as it is a tool for the present.
