The CRKT Homefront Compact carries the unmistakable influence of legendary designer Ken Onion, combining the rugged spirit of World War II-era utility knives with premium modern materials. Built for everyday carry, this compact folder delivers dependable performance in a streamlined package that feels equally at home on the job, on the trail, or in your pocket.
Its 2.91" drop point blade is crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium steel celebrated for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black DLC coating enhances wear resistance while reducing glare and giving the blade a bold, tactical appearance that stands up to demanding daily use. Whether you're opening packages, cutting rope, or tackling everyday utility work, the Homefront Compact is ready to perform.
A blade flipper paired with CRKT's smooth ball-bearing pivot provides quick, fluid one-handed deployment. Once the blade is in position, the reliable linerlock engages securely, giving you the confidence to tackle cutting tasks with stability and control. Every aspect of the opening and locking mechanism reflects Ken Onion's reputation for designing knives that are both practical and enjoyable to use.
The handle combines rugged black G10 scales with a durable black aluminum bolster, creating a lightweight yet exceptionally sturdy grip. The textured G10 provides excellent traction, while the aluminum bolster adds strength and complements the knife's clean, military-inspired styling. Measuring 3.88" closed, extending to 6.81" overall, and weighing only 3 ounces, the Homefront Compact offers impressive capability without adding unnecessary bulk. A tip-up pocket clip ensures secure carry, while the integrated lanyard hole provides another convenient carry option.
